Go hang out on Camp Avenue at midnight in the summer…you will see some shit you never want to see again. As far as each direction of the city having ghettos, I don’t recall any area in the North(outside of the city) that I would fear for safety walking down the street. As far as camp ave. grab yourself a set of glock 40’s and have at it.
:bigok: for a realistic outlook on the area.
four lanes, no tunnels, no scary blacks = suburban spending
the homestead location is good and bad, even if homestead was a good neighborhood. the waterfront isn’t gonna work 4ever without some better roadways in and out it’s a catch 22. traffic, two ways in an out sucks. but being near to so many neighborhoods is an asset, prob the biggest… but couple traffic, & this shooting and it’s bound to see a fall off. it’s no longer a ‘perception of danger’, some dude got killed, indoors, next to teh popcorn stand. not in the parking lot down the road.
besides it’s not like being in homestead stops anyone from shopping there, the location is just too accesible, having ghetto patrons just prevents ppl from seeing action flicks at the loews it doesn’t hurt the american eagle sales or starbucks.
talk about over reacting? There are two real problems, west homested PD is a joke and the city of west homestead is pocketing all that tax money instead of puttin it back into the PD and the same can be said for the other half of the waterfront with the Homestead PD. the waterfront is a big enough area to warrent its own police force. The second problem is the ACLU and the NAACP. with those two groups looming over their head i’m sure lowes is scared to address the real problem which is all the youth, the majority of which are black, that hang out and loitter at lowes and make for an otherwise uncomfortable situation for familys and couples looking for nothing else than to watch a movie. Obviously this problem thou had nothing to do with youths. Regardless of where it happend the people that killed that guy were gonna find him whereever he was. He was a target, not a random victim. It was chance that it happend at lowes.
Can some tell me again where i need to go for a gun permit, i’m off work tmw and this time i’m serious as fuck about gettin one. People have been gettin stuck up in SQhill and i’ll be damed to let that happen to me.
it’s the city court house on 4th and grant st. bottom floor… in the middle of the building.
my buddy was mugged on walnut street in shady side at the national city ATM about a month ago.
exactly…there will be crime everywhere…& people will still shop
wasnt there a guy raping women in mall parking lots, & stalkers that followed people to their cars to rob, them, etc…it happens everywhere, every year & with xmas coming I bet there will be some criminal doing something at the area malls…& people will still go.
County sheriff’s office, amongst probably a few others.
that sucks…
but people will still shop in sq.hill, use that mac in shadyside & go see movies @ lowes.
actually that ATM stopped servicing after 8pm for a matter of weeks, don’t know if it’s operational all hours yet?
so stfu with your assumptions.
easy access > off chance of getting hurt… hell it’s america
easy access > 50% chance of getting hurt
bring your license and another form of ID and w/ a clean record, you can walk outta there w/ it same day with in like 30 mins I think. My hubby got his beginning of the year. (maybe he was renewing his but from what he said it’s not that hard to get one…)
I live in East Pittsburgh, well Wilkins TWP. It’s not THAT bad, but it’s getting bad. Our neighborhood is pretty nice, BUT the ghetto is closing in on us. Every day…Can’t wait to get out. It’s pretty bad when I start seeing shit like helicopters circling around our neighborhood at 11pm looking for someone that just shot a cop in Braddock and came up our way to try to get away (greensburg pike by Bob’s Lounge and Pennhurst Candy) …I felt just like I was living in Los Angeles again. Saw that shit daily. Don’t want to see it here…
of course no one wants to say what they saw… i’m sure next week there will be be a march to stop the violence. hypocrites need to stick up for what they believe in and do the right thing. doing the right thing isn’t “snitchin”. If i see someone get smoked and i tell what happends and i get smoked too…well then it was just my time. tired of this shit.

how much is a permit? does that mean i can carry it concealed and such or is that something separate? I have no clue about how that stuff works.
I used to work security in the waterfront along with Atreyu and There is a TON of theft and I’ve caught people trying to steal hundreds of dollars worth of shit from Giant Eagle. I am from the north hills and I must say its the best side of the city. Apparently many others think so too because there are soo many houses and businesses going up. For Example the New Target right off of camp hourne road exit on 279 is taking away a ton of our woods.
assumptions…try fact.
are people still shopping in sqhill…yes
are people using macs in shadyside…yes
will there be people going to see movies …yes
there is a shit load of crime in oakland…are students still out @ night…yes
are people still traveling 79? after the fake cop that was messing with women…yes
are people still shopping @ malls after all the parking lot crimes every year…yes
like i said crime is everywhere…from the ghetto to the the nice areas & people are still gonna go out.
so you can stfu.
cutty make sure you bring a birth certificate as well as a license, w2 will work too i believe, a soc. security card is not a valid second form of id for the permit to carry concealed… I got mine in about 10 minutes, dudes were real cool, they do the instant background check on the phone, so there’s no wait really, and i believe they use the same resource that say gander mountain uses when they check if you’re able to buy a gun.
on the lowe’s thing, my buddy was there with his wife when they were leaving, he went in a took a piss, came out, heard a black guy talkin to his friend say “you got that?” dude was like Yeah, then came the shots, he got bumped into by another guy that was trying to get out of the way, jumped over the guest relations booth and hit the ground, his wife was already outside waiting for him. he ended up having to stick around and talk to the police and a manager was like “i knew this was gonna happen with this movie out”… my buddy said “ya, i bet that guy walked out of the movie, went and got a gun after being influenced by the film and then shot that guy… no way he was gonna shoot anyone before watching a movie”
it went from “that” mac to “macs”
stop tayloring arguments… and continue stfu’ing
cutty… i think it’s 19 bucks? if i remember correctly… 2 forms of ID, should take 15 minutes but they are county workers.
another thing to take into consideration is that it will probably be closed tomorrow due to the fake holiday.
ur probably right on the movie thats just such a lame excuse to do that thou.
damn it. thanks. maybe thats a sign that i shouldn’t get one. lol
