Re: “Douglas Education Center”
DEC is the best! The stuff I've done since I've been here has been...
AMAZING... I can't say that enough. I'm in Tom Savini's Special Make-Up
Effects Program and I've done everything from eyes and teeth to
animatronics and fashion performance make-up. I've worked with my
friends in The Factory Digital Filmmaking Program on some of the biggest
and best Final Products in recent years!!! Seriously... Some KILLER SHIT...
I can't imagine going anywhere else and learning and much or having the experiences that I've had here... Anyone who runs their mouth and has negative stuff to say (guy/girl a
couple below) hasn't put the time in or discipline to really shut that shit down and
go for their dreams. Bunch of sick rumors from people who are jokes
themselves.

Re: “War of words escalating in final days of mayoral campaign”
"Mr. Peduto is afraid to see a day in which all Pittsburghers are realizing prosperity.."
What an outrageous statement from Wheatley. Loosing more and more respect for him by the day.
Re: “War of words escalating in final days of mayoral campaign”
Thanks. She was i.d.'d as Cross Barden and Cross Bolden down in the story. I missed the first reference to her as Maureen Bolden.
Re: “War of words escalating in final days of mayoral campaign”
@ Chris Zurawsky -- I did ask her whether she was related to Frank Bolden. She said she was not.
Re: “War of words escalating in final days of mayoral campaign”
Is Cross related to former famous Courier journalist Frank Bolden, or failed casino owner Don Barden? Either connection would be interesting.

Re: “The Monongahela River flows from south to north. How many other rivers do?”
I live in Hesperia California and was told that only Joshua trees grow around here and Israel. Also recently someone also told me that "like the Nile" We too as in our city is so amazing because there are only two North flowing rivers in the entire world and universe and galaxy. Wow did I think I was putting together some major puzzle and secrets of the world. Thank You For Writing such an amazing paper Pittsburgh. A new friend from California Hesperia
Re: “War of words escalating in final days of mayoral campaign”
"And we as an organization don't like to be brought into the political arena as pawns. That’s not what we’re about."
That's because the FOP prefers to go into the political arena as kings. But that shouldn't be what Pittsburgh's about.
I don't know if there is a more disgraced institution in the Pittsburgh area than the Pittsburgh police. Their endorsement should be poison to anyone who encounters it. Imagine if the Turnpike Commission endorsed someone.
Re: “War of words escalating in final days of mayoral campaign”
Wheatley is polling at 8% and is partially (somewhat significantly) bankrolled by Chairman Ravenstahl, who is also running the campaign's most desperate and silly attack ads against Peduto. And he's part of Ravenstahl's Stadium Authority, and has toed the line on its exclusionary development practices. So you figure it out. Peduto actually has put forward more concrete proposals for addressing segregated opportunity in Pittsburgh than has Wheatley. That's one real reason Ravenstahl hates Peduto so much, that and the corruption allegations Wheatley has never bothered to make about this administration, scandal-plagued and stained though it has been.
I believe Pittsburgh is going to see a black Mayor in my lifetime, maybe soon, but in my opinion State Rep. Jake Wheatley does not remotely have the stuff.
Re: “Lucy Nguyen runs a popular, seasonal banh mi stand in the Strip District”
I don't live/work near the Strip, but I have definitely seen her there on the weekdays I've had meetings in the area, and Saturdays/Sundays seem to be a staple. I think the sandwiches are $6 (cash only) and the tofu ones are just as good as the grilled meat ones. <3 If you want updates, follow Bar Marco on Facebook, as they often tell you when she's around since she's set up right outside.
Re: “Perle Champagne Bar”
been there 4 times and had a wonderful times with friends. the first time we tried an assortment of tapas and with each bit i wa like "oh my God" it was that good. the delicate fusuin of flafors were a treat indeed. I always let the handsome manager sugest a cocktail and i haven't been disappointed. An enjoyable relaxing 4 hours just breezes by. I tend to avoid crowds so i haven't gone on a weekend night when there's entertainment. I'll have to try that. when we went there was nice music in the background that wasn't so loud that you couldn't enjoy good conversation with your friends. the last time wejust met friends for a drink and the manager sugested Velozi's for dinner. He actually walked us over, procured us the best table for six and introduced us to the owner. what an evening of great company great coctails and great food.
Re: “Election Day thoughts”
Nice round-up Chris. I had a friend call last night who said he was still on the fence and was concerned about Peduto's perceived difficulties in the black community. Thanks for knocking it down.
