Chris and Richa's Going Away/Giving Away Potluck at our porch

July 29, 2011 at 7pm to July 30, 2011 at 12am

Unfortunately the time has come and we will be leaving this wonderful place. Please come to our place to spend one last amazing night together before Chris leaves for England and Richa (hopefully) leaves for Africa. Plus we will be letting you take things home with you.. furniture, kitchen stuff, clothes, and free hugs! Did we mention it's also a potluck and a BYOB? We will provide some snacks and drinks (need to use the last of our food stamps!!!) and have a small grill if you're interested in…See More

Should be a fun stretch to explore. Hopefully a few of us will have…See More

Public Transit in Pittsburgh

I love the bus. So happy I don't own a car these days. Granted, I take the bus for free, and it's frustrating to see Port Authority laying people off and cutting routes and schedules, but for me it still works pretty well.Thoughts? Feelings? Discussion topics related to public transit?See More
