American rust most likely. It is the only big production in town right now.

See if your dad can talk to a social worker at the cancer center. They should be able to find him options for transportation. They’ll also have recommendations for other services that might be helpful. There are also support groups for cancer caregivers that could be helpful for you or other family members, if no one has mentioned those yet.

Mayor of Kingstown finished filming around October. American Rust is the only current big production filming in town.

Great news, they are back open with limited hours.

Pipers pub

Someone on Facebook said it was a shooting at the GetGo. It is supposedly closed now with caution tape around it.

Bathhouse Ceramics at the Braddock Library might be a good place to try once their renovations are over. It is a ceramics studio in the basement of the library. It used to be where all the steel workers would bath before heading upstairs to use the library.

They aren’t gluten free

I’d prefer a Jimmy Wans over a Jimmy John’s.

Anyone know what is going into the old Penn Aiken Dairy?

Up in Maine, since Covid happened, it is common for places to get 100+ applications for places. People will also offer to pay more for rent to get places. Pittsburgh is bad, but thankfully it’s not close to this level yet.

Two Frays has some low ABV beers. I think a couple are under 1% even.

Fet Fisk has been doing mostly pop-ups at different restaurants around Pittsburgh and occasionally take out from their space in Shaler. They just announced they are opening a restaurant in Bloomfield.

Saint Ravioli is doing a box with a few other places. Fet Fisk is doing a Valentine’s dinner but it is sold out. La Gourmendine has a heart shaped pastry.

I am simply telling OP to look into this when buying a house. They could be coming from a very flat area and be unaware of buying houses on a hillside. I am not saying they shouldn’t necessarily but they need to research the property first. If they were looking at property in Millville or another lower area I would say to make sure they look into flooding issues. Sorry you took this as I told OP to never buy a house on a hillside.

I’m just imagining the Seinfeld episode where Elaine eats the poppy seed muffins and then is worried about testing positive for drugs.

Both areas are hilly and that needs to be taken into consideration. landslides do occasionally happen. There are also a number of mines under the hills in Pittsburgh that have caused issues over the decades.

The William Penn is fancy, but I wouldn’t call the rooms romantic. They are kind of geared towards older folks and business travelers in my opinion. Maybe do drinks in their lobby and stay elsewhere. I stayed at a Landing Hotel in upstate NY and it was nice, but I wouldn’t call it Valentine’s Day romantic by any means. I recommend looking into Hotel Monaco or the Renaissance. I feel like those might be more romantic.

I took a picture of Tony a little over a year ago. Happy to know his name!

Homemade whoopie pies are the best.

During a normal visit I would see the oncologist and PA. I’m not sure if it was just the preference of my oncologist, that they want to see every patient every time. I am sure some patients demand to see the oncologist every time too. I believe it was NPs who would give chemo to the patients and they seemed pretty solo. There are kind of two sides to the 4th floor too. The treatment side and the “normal” office side.

Well you’re kind of in luck. I was a cancer patient there, specifically Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The facility is really nice and almost feels more like a spa than a cancer facility. The 4th floor has a rooftop putting green that patients can use while getting chemo. Lots of the staff seems to be the same. I think they are just open Monday - Friday and mostly daylight hours. I also worked for UPMC after chemo treatment, but not at Hillman. It was ok. Benefits were ok. It really depends on your department head if your office has a good vibe or not.

Since you mentioned oncology are you talking working at Hillman?

Have you looked up all the churches that have been repurposed in the Pittsburgh area? Church Brew Works, This is Red, The Dragon’s Den, Mary’s Vine and Matthew’s Lofts are all churches that have been transformed into business or living spaces. I highly doubt all of those buildings were sold in pristine condition without renovations.
