Welcome to Allegheny County . . . what you need to know when buying. . .
I understand why Allegheny County has always been given a thumbs down from the residents of Armstrong, Butler, Beaver, Washington and Westmoreland county when somebody says they want to move into Allegheny. Why? It’s all about the base, the base, the base year. Here are two articles on this topic revisited recently. https://apps.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-allegheny-county-property-tax-assessment-housing-home-unbalanced/ LISTEN to […]

Twenty-twenty-too Beach Walk
On this day 5 years ago we were walking and laughing and dancing and loving on the beach. The song of the day has been the theme for the last 5 years of the rollercoaster of life. We’ve learned to be flexible and focus on progress over perfection. We’ve been faced with a whole lot […]

At month 24 here’s a weekend update.
Some of you may recall me saying we were in for a marathon of unknown when Covid-19 came to the world. Globally the number is at 6 million, while the US is almost at 1 million. In fifty years everybody will be asking why didn’t we learn from 1918? Oh by the way Tim says […]

JR. High: The lightning and thunder precent us from all playing today.
Item one eta to school is 6:40. Despite our best laid plans to roll out the vamanos 4-3-3 on the Burrell 120×64 the skies of lightning and thunder had their own ideas. What did we learn? We need to develop a new plan for goal kicks and building out of the back. That will need […]

B4 and after. A whole new shade.
I had to pull this page back to the front. First we started with a paint job during the pandemic. It brightened up all of the old panelling and made those rainy days in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a little warmer. Then in 2021 we added a little grilling space. Needless to say meeting virtually […]

Putting some magic back into the magic city.
Don’t let anybody tell you things cannot get done in the middle of a pandemic. This process may have started back at the end of 2020 but now that summer of 2021 is rolling along the change is starting to happen. The irony is this started one evening over Zoom with Leslie, Hilary, Drew, and […]

And something is still happening here.
I am not sure if a line from Patsy Caruso is appropriate here but the aluminum awnings are gone and the original wood siding is finally being covered over—almost 100 years after the original construction date of this wood frame house. Back in the day the wood was killed in Charleroi, the homes are being […]

Euro2020, The Azzurri vs England
Hello American Football Fans: If you are counting down until the start of Pittsburgh Steeler training camp at Heinz Field, instead of St. Vincent College for the 2nd year in a row–to minimize Covid-19 exposure risk–you probably were not following the real football competition this sumner. The biggest all European football tournament was pushed from […]

Watching 2020 set one day at a time.
I wasn’t really sure the best way to send 2020 off, but looking through the Crosby walk photos I was inspired.

Old Christmas ideas.
You may want to bust out your calculator or spreadsheet in 2020, to half or quarter your recipes from past years. Be smart, be safe, if meeting with people outside your bubble mask up and meet outside. If eating with said people, have a chef plate the meals and a masked server serve the meals. […]
