I mean I figured Monroeville at worst.

Yeah send it over this way!

... no offense.

[skullman80]

Did you numbskulls think the first canes would be in friggin uniontown or something

Blame whoever decided to call the area in southern Allegheny County "South Fayette" when Fayette **** County is another 30 miles southeast.

Yeah I made that same mistake thinking it was farther away.

Top Golf feels so far away.

[Dickie Dunn]

So this is going in on the other side of 50 and the Newbury Market that Top Golf is in remains and absolutely hilarious undeveloped mess.

Bj's was a good get for Newbury market but I don't think there's anything else in the pipeline for that morass.

Give or take, the turnpike exchange in Monroeville, Top Golf, and the 279/79 interchange are all about the same distance from Grant Street. The perception of distance couldn’t be more different though.

As a North Hills guy who is originally from farther north (Slippery Rock), stuff in the South Hills might as well be on the moon. While I've certainly heard of it, I don't have the slightest idea where exactly South Fayette is or how to get there, and I've lived in Pittsburgh for like 25 years at this point. I imagine many in the South Hills would have the same reaction if I said that something was in Wexford or Warrendale.

South fayette. Fake fayette. We don't get any of the fun stuff. We don't even have a chic fila

[mac5155]

Nevermind I see this topic was already covered.

There was a story in the local paper recently about the BBQ place that opened up in our mall. Covid and other things hit their old restaurant/catering business hard, and they were homeless for a short time. I went to grab lunch from them months ago, but the person who was supposed to clean the fryers never showed, so they couldn't open on time. Okay, I get it, I'll come back another time. A few weeks later, I go up and they're closed. I see that they're now only open Tues-Sat. Okay, maybe I missed that the first time I was there.

Went there for lunch today, and they're closed. I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I'm pretty **** sure that ensuring that the business is actually open may be key to staying in business. All I wanted to do was support a local small business and enjoy some tasty BBQ.

Probably ran off with those sweet, sweet PPP loans.

[NTP66]

This guy should have been the main target for those loans. I need to go back to that article to see if it mentions them.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Uh, I'm not sure what happened with them, but we randomly picked up Subway for the four of us. Four foot longs, no combos, or chips...and it was $45. Now we get a second meal out of them, but Subway...sucks. And especially so at that price point.

In other fast food sandwich news, we went to a party with Jimmy John's subs/tray/platter. Pretty good stuff tbh.

[nocera]

Every Subway that I've been in since the late 90s has been a disgusting mess. Give me Jersey Mikes or Jimmy Johns over Subway every day of the week. I'm still angry that Quiznos died.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

$12 for a foot long roast beef last time I was at subway. Madness. Those mfers don't take expired coupons either.

[NTP66]

My local Subway was the best one I had ever been to, and I ate there weekly. I would not be returning based on the new prices if they were still around. Jersey Mikes is decent, but I was never a fan of Jimmy Johns.

[RonnieFranchise]

Quiznos was pretty good. The only one within 100 miles of my house now is in a gas station somewhere west of Wheeling. I don't know if they expanded too fast or what but they were all over the place for a few years.

[nocera]

There used to be a Quiznos in Oakland but I think that one bit the dust recently - as recently as last year.

[count2infinity]

I love how our generation has slid into boomer sh*t like "back in my day, a gallon of gas cost a nickel!".

The souf Craig street one lasted through the pandemic somehow but I'm pretty sure it's closed now.

[nocera]

Back in my day, Jimmy Johns subs had sprouts on them! We all knew the risks but we ate it anyway and it was glorious.

[RonnieFranchise]

Wait did they close the Tim Horton's in Canonsburg or Washington or wherever it was? I don't go down there for work anymore but was hoping it was a sign they'd start springing up around here.

[nocera]

Tim Hortons is trash. Maybe it's better in Canada but the US Tims are gross.

[dodint]

When I was in college I loved the Quiznos clam chowder. They had a location in Latrobe near Shop 'N Save. Like Ronnie, the last one I saw was in a gas station in Wisconsin.

I lost access to Jimmie John's when I switched to WFH. So now I fill that void with Firehouse Subs.

[RonnieFranchise]

They recently put a Firehouse Subs in the Beaver Valley Mall but have done an awful job promoting it. Every person I've mentioned it to has been like: "wait, there's a what?"
