I have never lived in such an unfriendly dog community. Cranberry has gorgeous parks and impeccably taken care of but, you are not allowed to walk your dog in any of the parks. As a matter of fact they have signs all over that say no pets, or no dogs!! There is one park that has an off leash area. And we all know how unhealthy off leash areas are for dogs. If you are a dog lover and like to socialize with other dog lovers. Don't move to Cranberry Township!!

4.5 stars. The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is a public library system that was funded by the…read moreindustrialist Andrew Carnegie in the late 1800s. The library system has about 20 locations throughout the city, including this location in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood. My husband and I visited this library once recently. When we entered the library, a security employee kindly greeted us. We walked around the entire library and saw items such as nonfiction books, fiction books, CDs, DVDs, puzzles, and more for both adults and children. We also saw information desks, dozens of computers, and desks and chairs. Furthermore, the library's website says that visitors may use Wi-fi, photocopiers and printers (for a fee), scanners, fax machines, and meeting rooms. Overall, we liked this library. This library in Squirrel Hill is not as large as the main library in Oakland, but I think that it is a great place for people of various demographic groups to read, study, relax, or work.

There's a location of Burgatory out here, but for the most part most of the great food is found on the other side of Interstate 79. There's a Bob's Big Shot Wings not far from here though, it's amazing - get them Old Bay Wet. But if you want to stay close to the airport then it's one of your best bets.

There is really not a lot of information on this parklet out there. When I came by all that was…read morehere was the plaque I took a picture of. Doing a search of the man this is named for doesn't pull up much. But here is what I got from what I could find. Charles A Lewis was a dedicated firefighter and union activist. He loved what he did and was good at it and rose through the ranks at Pittsburgh Fire Department and eventually served as Chief. During his tenure he also served as President of Firefighters Local #1 before becoming Chief. Charles was instrumental is starting the Fill the Boot fundraising campaign for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. It was a big success and went nationwide with other Locals. As far as the land that this parklet sits on, it was once a police station. Closed long ago and sitting there in disrepair. Charles suggested that the use the land to create this parklet for the people of Mt. Washington to enjoy. I will say, he was right. This little parklet has a grotto feel. The brick arch, the mural on the wall, seating and tons of plants everywhere. It's a nice little spot to tank break during a busy day. You almost forget you are at the corner of a busy intersection.

"Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" So on the corner of Shiloh Street and Virginia Ave is Charles Lewis Parklet, where an ugly building once stood, a tiny parklet sits complete with foliage,benches, art, and ambiance. Charles Lewis was the Pittsburgh fire fighter who founded the fill the boot drive, that today, Pittsburgh Fire-fighters still do today. Beautiful architecture makes this a great and idea spot for picnics, killing some time on a warm summer day, or spending time with someone special.

The Allegheny County AAA is my go-to for finding resources for seniors (those 60 years and older)…read more Many services are offered including information about senior centers, transportation, abuse /neglect reporting, caregiver support, Senior Companion (no, not dating), meal delivery, and much more. Many of the referrals I make are to request light housekeeping help and in home personal care assistance for seniors who can no longer manage those tasks on their own. I've also been to this office to attend continuing education events and update meetings on programming. As with any government agency, the process for seniors to receive services can be slow, we're talking months sometimes, maybe longer. I often follow up after making a referral if I have not received any updates on AAA'S end. Sometimes, I am notified if a rep could not reach my client, or that my email referral was received. Sometimes. Some services are income-based (Waiver programs, for example). Sometimes seniors receive the services for free, other times, they have to pay a certain amount out of pocket. This is case by case, of course. If a senior has Medicare and Medicaid with limited income/assets, there is a good chance that they would be eligible for more services. It never hurts to apply and at least see what's available for the senior(s) in your life. The SeniorLine number is 412-350-5460.

I attended a special African American Read-In here last week, and it was great to see young and old step up to read poetry, prose, plays and children's books. I've met many of the staff and they have been very friendly and helpful. Once I brought my Venture Outdoors group through the building and one of the Librarians gave a wonderful impromptu tour. Their children's collection is quite strong. They have lots of programming, such as story-time, computer instruction, and there are computers that the patrons are free to use. There is a really fine auditorium that seats 300 hosts musical concerts and plays. There is an African-American collection contains more than 12,000 materials on African and African-American culture. Make sure you look up at the ceiling, there are some stunning skylights. Also of note, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood featured this library on several of the shows.

I had just finished a foodie tour of the Brookline district when my bladder alerted me I needed a loo. Voila, this library magically appeared in my sight line and I stepped into a gorgeous light filled space with rows of books. It took a while for me to find the loo and yes, yelp, it is a gender neutral restroom - very clean and with all amenities in working order. Anyway, that done, I noticed my phone battery was down 50% and I had a whole day ahead of me, still exploring Pittsburgh. I thought of asking the librarian if they had iPhone chargers and success! They did! So was able to write up all my reviews, sitting and relaxing in a comfy chair - the Carnegie library truly keeps on giving! Yelp Review 46/2017
