Oh jeez I have been coming to this place since I was in college. We won't get into how many years…read moreago that was! It's a typical city bodega with all of the conveniences you expect from soda to candy, chips, junk food and other processed food items. Prices are what you would expect. The store is older and it feels like it but it's also kept very clean.

This place was disgusting, I am shocked that they're allowed to stay open in that condition, let…read morealone sell ANY kind of snacks or food. My coworkers warned me of how filthy this place was and their pest problem but figured I would give it a try since I always pass it. I stopped here on my way home through downtown, took one look around and left. I checked out their tobacco products and their tobacco is not actually state minimum prices so the sign in front is a blatant lie. Avoid this place, there's better options on Wood street.

Ok, so this is the "liberal" paper of Pittsburgh, eh?…read more Well you do have Tony Norman, who's a progressive and a comics fan, which is pretty cool by me even though he's also a bit of an Obamabot. Vote 3rd party and get back to me, ok Tony? Then there's Rob Rogers, one of the most incisive political cartoonists on the scene. Maureen Dowd is a mildly liberal bore. Reg Henry is milquetoast. Ruth Ann Daily is the daughter of Phyllis Schafly, Ann Coulter-lite, or an aspiring Stepford Wife. I can't figure her out. George Will. Ugh. Scott Mervis doesn't get the metal, but at least he's not Ed Masley who should be strapped to a pentagram and set ablaze for his clueless (fear-ridden?) derision of the music. Allison Romero has written a few good metal articles though, so maybe someone read my emails. Oh, Mervis' top guitarists list? A joke. Rob Owen's TV column is pretty good even though I don't always share his tastes. He reminds me somewhat of Robert Bianco who has long since moved on to USA Today. I used to love when he'd skewer popular shows I despised. "Seen" makes me want to smash an ice sculpture up with a hammer and put it chunks of it through the windows of mansions. Do we need to have sheer privilege rubbed in our noses? Who really needs to know about what fun old moneybags are having when The Great Depression has never ended? The local news articles are pretty good though. Sadie Gurman busts her ass! I met her once at a picnic. I got her card. Nice girl. Never called her though. The Post-Gazette's a decent paper, but then again I'm a socialist, so I'm hard to please when it comes to the news media.

I hate to give a negative review for a newspaper. I'm an old Pittsburgh girl, still interested in…read morethe city. I remember fondly reading the old "paper" newspapers, The Pittsburgh Press and later the PG. So I jumped on an e subscription offer. What a disappointment. While I wasn't expecting the NYT or WaPo, and was subscribing mostly for local news, my experience has been one of this paper consists of short blurbs. If I want blurbs, I can see them on WTAE website. We also got a trial subscription to the San Francisco Chronicle. The Chronicle newspaper has in depth articles, the kind I was hoping for from the PG. I will be canceling when my introductory price is up. I was hoping for more. Local newspapers are so important. It is too bad the PG is falling short.

Four levels - yep, FOUR - of nostalgia!! Such a terrific collection of games, books, tapes, CD's,…read morefigurines, posters, comics, vinyl, collectibles, etc. you would be hard pressed not to find something that doesn't make you go, "I remember this!" Each level has different elements. There's stairs, as well as an elevator to access all levels. Prices seem reasonable for the things that they offer. Everything is well kept and in protective sleeves, etc to preserve it from getting worn. Every employee was pleasant and friendly. Not sure about parking as we walked. But, it's super close to the Heinz History Center so could easily walk from there. Well worth a visit!!

Eide's truly is a store with something for everyone! From comics to records, even toys and antiques…read morethere is a huge selection of items here to look at! There are multiple floors at Eide's and you can take the stairs but there is an elevator. Their floors are organized by the type of item they sell on that floor. For example, one floor is records, another is comics, toys, and action figures, so it's pretty simple to find the right direction if you're looking for something specific. The staff is also very kind and helpful. During my most recent trip I was browsing the first floor and found one of my favorite books from my childhood! It was only $5 and I couldn't pass it up. You just never know what you'll find here, but I can guarantee if you look hard enough you'll find some gems!

The Thursday edition includes the entertainment guide and also the department store ads for the coming weekend. The Sunday edition is huge and includes the coupon section.

Trib reporter K.S. interviewed me a month ago for a story on my hypnosis business. I am planning…read moregroup hypnosis sessions at the South Pike Cinemas in Sarver, PA. This same reporter interviewed me in 2023 when I rented an office for my hypnosis business in the Murphy Building in Tarentum . The article made the paper. I recently was informed by this reporter that the interview we had was not accepted as it was more of an "advertisement than an article." It took him a month to inform me. The article was all about why I chose to try to do my hypnosis at the theater . It was not an advertisement. He's a good reporter and he asked the questions . It was a good interview. The theater manager who is permitting me to do these sessions was there answering questions. A photographer was there taking many photos . There was no reason to believe it would be rejected. Of course, I never saw the completed work of the reporter. I asked K.S. to tell me who made this decision . I asked him to explain how many other "articles " on other businesses were in the trib. These businesses are paid for their services . They were articles and not considered advertisements. Why were these articles published and mine rejected? I have not received an answer. I emailed the managing Editor and have not had a response . I'm not a paranoid person . I'm a retired psychiatric nurse and active hypnotist. In my curious mind, this rejection is about something else. It feels discriminatory. I'm very disappointed in the Trib editorial team who chose to reject what was probably a good article about this fascinating intervention for wellness.

The coffee bar surpasses expectations. The drinks are great, especially because of their unique syrups and drink combinations. I have enjoyed lattes and fruit flavored lemonades, and my favorites have been the strawberry matcha and the blue velvet latte, which featured blueberry roobios syrup. The employees have also been very nice and it is cute inside. There is space to sit and read or work near the coffee bar - you are able to take your computer and work there with a drink from the coffee bar, without even needing to buy a book. It is a great multifunctional community space.
