r/pittsburgh

Greetings! I am a 17 year old artist and collector of postcards, letters and other interesting paraphernalia relating to other countries. I have just gotten in to the postcard business after finding a blank one in the street. Would any lovely folks be down to exchange postcards?

My post card would originate from Nîmes; a small-ish city in Southern France that is home to a Roman arena, a massive aqueduct, and one of the best preserved Roman temples in Europe known as the Square House.

I have chosen Pittsburgh as my target due to a friend— an American of the Texas state— stating that Pittsburghians are very proud of being from Pittsburgh. Would anyone here be happy to confirm or disprove that theory? I have never been to the United States, only Canada and Italy, Romania, Hungary, Spain, England, and a bit over the border of Switzerland.

I accept that this demand may be against the rules, and if so, I strongly apologise; and I shall have no quarrel with those who may choose to remove this post. Thank you!

This week I caught a brutal stomach bug, hours of vomiting, then you think it’s over… and suddenly you’re running to the bathroom for round two from the other end.

It completely wiped me out for a couple of days. And now my husband woke up today and has started his turn.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

New fear unlocked

I've called 15 different places all said they "Don't take walk ins" and or all booked up. Is it that hard to get someone to cut my hair???? Wtf???

I did call PA 211, but came to a wall. Applied for meals on wheels but am waiting for a phone call back to see if I’m eligible.

Last time I needed Reddits help was for transportation resources and I learned about jitneys, which has been a game changer btw, so I figured I’d try my luck again!

Thanks :)

What is an intersection that you admire in the city? One you can spend time just watching? For me, Forbes and Murray.

Small Italian place in Crafton right by the city. Pasta and pizza is top tier, definitely a hidden gem!

This was my first year attending the CMU carnival and we had a great time! I wanted to share what I learned, specifically for going with kids, for anyone else who might be going for the first time.

- Easiest parking is in the East Campus garage. It's not cheap, but I think it's the best option without a major schlep.

- Bring cash! If you're buying games or ride tickets from the midway they charge $1 per transaction if you use a card.

- Check your kid's height before deciding on ride tickets. I thought I was being a cool mom by buying each of my kids an unlimited ride wrist band... turns out my youngest could only ride two rides.

- Unlimited ride wristbands are $22. Single ride tickets are $4.

- If I had to do it again I would pack drinks and snacks and then let them pick one carnival food as a special treat.

- We got there about 3:00 Friday afternoon and there weren't lines for anything. As the day progressed some attractions got really long lines. So if there's something you want to do and you see a chance to do it without a line, jump on it! (Looking at you, ferris wheel.)

I hope this helps! I couldn't find much info online beforehand so I'm putting it out there for anyone like me who likes to plan. Enjoy your outing!

Both of us are from Philly originally and now live near Harrisburg and want to go to PNC Park to see the Phillies play the Pirates but neither of us have ever been to Pittsburgh so we have no clue what area to even look. What area would be good to stay. We are both Gluten Free if that makes a difference. Thank you so much

Does anyone know who giant eagle uses for delivery?
