Interesting idea. I'm curious if this is on anyone else's radar, like @bikepgh.bsky.social, @friendsoftheriverfront.org, @alleghenycounty.bsky.social, @mobilifyswpa.bsky.social, etc. This was my son's preferred way to ride to the Science Center for summer camp, and I'd love more green space.

The denizens of one of Pittsburgh’s most affluent neighborhoods have taken sides on a Very Important Issue — whether the Walnut Street holiday tree was worthy of gracing the alleyway across from the abandoned Apple store...

Drama ensued when a post in a Shadyside Facebook group expressed "embarrassment" over a decorated tree on Walnut Street.

Someone joked that I must have trouble watching "bad" movies because of my film degree/film criticism background and I was like, sweetie, if I pursued a film doctorate, my dissertation would be on 'Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan.'

Watching that Ed Gein show on Netflix and lemme tell you, every farm family has an Ed Gein. He's the cousin who's never been married and lives in a double wide on his parents' land. He's "a little funny." That being said, Gein is likely (hopefully 😬) the only one to become a serial killer.
