Police presence with militarized units outside Murrysville?

7 Upvotes

On our way home today, traveling east towards Murrysville, we passed a handful of police cruisers, something that looked like a Armored Security Vehicle, a SWAT vehicle and 4 - 5 ambulances, all with their lights on, on the opposite side of the road.

I could see uniformed men with rifles lined up inside the ASV. What was going on? Sorry, I don't have the exact location, but wondered if anyone else saw this

Accident in Squirrel Hill Wednesday

6 Upvotes

Anyone know what happened yesterday around 5:30/6? I think the intersection was Forbes and S Dallas, outside that cemetery. Cops were blocking all four directions and putting up red tape. I saw what looked like a crumpled bike and some glass from a broken taillight. Haven’t heard anything, so hoping that means nobody was seriously hurt.

Hey everyone! First post here. Does anyone know of any music positions someone could apply for in the area? Sure, my dream would be to work in the music industry full-time, but I’m open to the much more likely part-time jobs as well. Thank you all so much!

Body-positive massage

5 Upvotes

Not even sure if the title is the right term, but I'm looking to get a relaxing massage in the city. It'd be my first massage of any kind. I am overweight and have body image issues to spare.

Can anyone recommend a place that feels especially non-judgmental and/or accommodating of some body-related anxiety?

~40yo cis man, if that helps at all.

Where do you go to work that is calm, quiet, and free? I already have some library branches I like... and I'm philosophically opposed to the idea of a coworking space.

Looking for a particular barber shop

This will be weird, but please hear me out. I have been trying to find a barber in the who might still use a chair similar to this classic. I've always had an interest in the mechanics of barber chairs, and am now specifically interested in the motorized models. They aren't as common as their hydraulic brethren and I'm sure I'm better off calling a museum, but it would be fun to find one in the wild

Bars On Election Night

I’m a poll worker, would love to have somewhere to go after polls close where I can crack open a cold one and watch that funny little news man frantically point at his map board.

In 2024 I went to brillobox, which was as good a place as any to weather that storm, but I think they’re usually closed on Tuesdays. Any ideas? East End preferred.

Multiple Motorcycle cops running red light/ Scott Township.

0 Upvotes

I witnessed about 8-9 motorcycle cops running a red light to make a left on to the 79 on ramp northbound on Washington Pike Road. That is the Kirwan Heights exit.

There were at least 10-12 in the convoy. The light turned red while the first two started and then they all waved to signal to continue through.

They did not have any lights on.

Nice of them to break the law they are intended to enforce.

AWFUL C Harper Experience

29 Upvotes

I cannot stress enough how much I would not recommend C Harper for buying a car. Has anyone else had an absolutely terrible experience with them?? I need input on if my experience was normal.

For background- I am a first time car buyer, have great credit (800s), and make a good salary. My biggest worry about buying my car was that I’m a younger girl (mid 20s) and that I wouldn’t be taken seriously.

I had looked at the car I wanted for months, saw C Harper had it, and traveled over an hour to get it from there. Got to the dealership and they had the car ready for me to drive, answered all my questions and were extremely nice. When we sat down to discuss pricing- they offered my a new grad discount and a loyalty discount. I also I had a few thousand dollars to put down on the vehicle- I felt this was a good deal. They told me my financing was approved! Yay! I go back to the financing guy- he tried to sell me a warranty I declined. He tried to push the warranty I declined. Signed my offer, gave them my down payment check, left with my new car. Yay!

Three days later someone from C Harper calls me to tell me that I was not actually qualified for the new grad discount ($500 off) and that I need to call them immediately (but it was 5pm so they were leaving for the day). They call me the next day saying they now need a photo of my first pay stub and a new pic of my diploma (they did not ask me for a pay stub at the dealer). Then they texted me every few hours while I was at work about this. I asked for them to please stop texting me and to email me so this could all be documented. They don’t listen and continue to text me.

I send an email with my diploma and my pay stub to the finance person. I also stated I did not authorize any changes to my contract that I signed when I was at the dealership. I never get a response, I never hear from them again- I get an email to set up my account to confirm my financing and start making my payments.

Today, I made my first car payment! Love my new car! However- I check my mail and have A LETTER FROM C HARPER?? THE LETTER SAYS “your financing fell through”??? It says if I have questions to call the number above- THERE IS NO NUMBER?? THERE IS ALSO NO SIGNATURE?? This letter was dated for last week, I just got it today. But all my financing is set up??

The letter has the C Harper logo, not my car manufacturer (who the financing is through) and I made my payment and it’s all set up on my account??

Has this ever happened to anyone before? Everyone I have asked has never had this experience??

Learning jazz piano/guitar in Pittsburgh?

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I recently started working in Pittsburgh and I’ve always wanted to learn how to play jazz piano and guitar. Does anyone know where I might be able to learn either of them, and what I should expect to pay for lessons? I’m a complete beginner in piano and a bit better in guitar (know the chords, strumming, can play some easy songs but nothing fancy), so I don’t think I’ll be able to improve a lot without a good teacher. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Police presence/escort on Butler this morning?

0 Upvotes

Help a nebby neighbor out! Was sitting on Butler near Row House at 8:30 this morning when traffic came to a standstill. About a dozen or so county and city police plus another dozen motorcycle cops came speeding up eastbound, or northbound? Hell, away from the city! What struck me as odd were the motorcycles driving in between cars and on the opposite side of the street. So my question, tf was that about? Was it a police escort or was some shit going down? Thank you in advance.
