Sucks to be the people eating at chipotle when they could be eating at Salem, Lucy’s or anywhere else.

You’re acting like the landlord doesn’t have a say over applicants. “This airbrush t- shirt shop applied, have to let them in!” 😂

As I said in another comment, the rent is probably astronomical for a small local businesses or startup. I don’t think it is a matter of small businesses stepping up so much as the landlord has made it impossible.

Voodoo isn’t moving to the terminal.

Pittsburgh has a great beer scene. I’d rather a local place be able to open a second location then a DC beer company come in.

I think a mix of local shops and eateries would be nice. Citygrows, Pip & Lola and Herbert’s Pharmacy are a great start, but let’s keep adding actual local places not locally own franchises.

More likely small businesses can’t afford the rent and that is why they have stayed away

There is a chain beer place coming soon. 😑

It’s super disappointing, even the state store has a bland stock. I thought for sure they would have a better selection of wine since The Strip is a hip neighborhood, but nope. I wish the few local businesses there the best of luck, but I hope this project fails for the owners who lied about their true intentions.

While I like your intentions, I can see someone trying to sue you if they slip and fall or get into an accident where you cleared the snow.

Probably traveling nurses and staff that had to work overtime and get paid 1.5x - 2x normal pay rate.

“Edward Karlovich, UPMC’s executive vice president and chief financial officer, blamed the drop largely on increased labor costs because of employee shortages.”

Looks like they won’t be giving out raises anytime soon…

Not everyone has a family or a place they can go to on holidays.

Nah, fucking over your workers is lame as fuck.

They are encouraging protesters to bring pots and pans to bang on…

I think what Block is doing to his workers is a lot colder.

Agreed, but when the jury deliberates don’t you think some people might agree to a verdict so they don’t have to report back for more days if they really need money?

How is the accused supposed to get a fair trial when lots of people financially cannot take the time off? That takes away a lot of working folks, which skews the fairness.

It’s one thing for me to do my part. It is another to ask me to do my part, but not be able to afford groceries for the month.

Beautiful. Can’t see the UPMC logo.

Optimistically I read this as OP doesn’t want to woodwork alone incase they cut off a finger or something. Their friends are sick of hanging out in the woodshop and would rather be at the bar watching sportsball or something else. OP wants someone who actually enjoys woodworking to come and work on their personal projects while watching OP to make sure no fingers are lost.

The stuff they produced was pretty tasty, but with the economy being what it is, I definitely couldn’t afford to buy it more than a couple of times a month. I hope another hydroponic produce company buys the space.

If chain restaurants and stores in strip malls are your thing, go for it.

Friends, you don’t have to watch this if you don’t feel up to it for any reason. This was a very traumatic event for the community and a lot of us personally. We all grieve and heal in our own ways and on our own timeline. Do what feels right for you.

Yea the Lower Murray Merchants Association posted this on their Facebook page. really odd
