Urine smell on busses
hacksaw-d
bus to work (after I decided to pay for parking after the bus broke down 4
times in two weeks last summer) and I experienced the same thing. It was
disgusting. Funny thing was I caught the Carrick bus home (because it runs
about every ten minutes and the walk to my house is about 15 minutes from
the last stop) and it was a nice clean brand new bus.
EXPAND THE 'T'!!! The Overbrook line should be done soon. I am hoping there
will be a park and ride nearby to catch it. I will gladly take the T rather
than a bus.
The busses SUCK!!!

Friday night and just about passed out from holding my breath. You mean to
tell me there's NO WHERE to leak in the city next to the streets? It's
disgusting and a major turn off, another reason why people would rather go
to the 'burbs then come downtown. And why did the PPG buildings remove their
chairs and tables from around the ice skating rink? There was no place to
sit down there.
Of course, should I expect different from Pittsburgh?

Generally, the smell of urine is an indicator of the types of people who
frequent the area.
I remember working for the Committee for Criminal Justice in Boston and one
day looking out the window. Our building was "The Little Building", 80
Boylston Street, right on the edge of the combat zone. The day I looked out
the window I saw a bag lady squatting on the sidewalk while people walked by
her.
There was a little river of liquid running out from under her which people
either stepped in or missed by accident as they went in search of the next
prono palace. I'd imagine that those who stepped in the bag lady's
secretion smelled like urine and brought it wherever they went.

There's plenty of places to take a leak if you're in there buying something.
How many public bathrooms are there in Pittsburgh? Toilets are convenient
only for consumers. In Boston's shopping district, the homeless often used
the bathroom at Arch Street Chapel.... Franciscan mission.
One great thing about Jerusalem's Old City.... there are public bathrooms
all over the place even if they're just communal holes in the ground with
sinks next to them.

You Italian? You ever go to the Pizzeria Regina? Greaest pizza I ever had. Only
Vincent's on Ardmore Blvd came close. I loved the N. end it was as close to
living in Italy you could come to without being there. Narrow streets folks

Never went there. I have not been back for about 5 years. Only got to go to
Revere Beach once or twice I hung out at Nantasket paragon Park as a kid.

My father's Sicilian... grew up on Holden Court just across from the North
End playground. I remember him telling me stories about getting into the
harbor on the NE side at the playground and swimming over to the
Constitution and back.
> You ever go to the Pizzeria Regina?
GAWD!!!!!!!!!! Donch love it? I used to go to the original Pizzeri Regina
in the North End every single Saturday as a kid. Remember the fat bakers?
They were brothers who owned the Pizzeria Regina and "chubbiness" ran in the
family I 'spose. Remember the waitress? I forget her name but, as a kid
she had black hair and was almost always there. My parents told me that
she'd worked there when they were dating.... 20 years before I was born!
Last I knew, she has white hair and still works there at the original place
on Hanover Street.

I used to trek into Boston every single Saturday by myself as a kid. My
father told me, "If you're ever in trouble in Boston, get to the North End
and you'll be safe." I don't know how true that would be these days but as
a kid the North End was a safe haven, a huge and very close neighborhood
where mothers watched out after everybody's kid and their men as well. It
was probably especially "safe" for me because I was Italian and in the NE
"Italian" meant "a member of the community."
I'm really sad that community feeling is almost lost. The North End has
changed so much. The immigrant families who made it what it was are either
dying or moved out. Time was when the buildings were family-owned for
generations. Now, they're mostly high-priced apartments for professionals.

Revere Beach was nice when I was a kid.... I loved the cyclone! Now, Revere

When I was little my mother and her sister used to take us kids on the ferry

I can picture her in my mind. In fact I can picture the whole place, makes me
want to jump on a plane to Boston just for the pizza.

I'm probably a bit older than you, I used to go to Boston from Nantasket on the
boat for my birthday. When I was little it was one of the old steam side
wheelers. I rember being fascinated by wathching the "walking beam" pistons
which were visible inside the ship.
Fried clams would be my last meal if I had the opportunity. One of my brothers
says if it has clams in it it can't be bad. Too bad you can't get whole fried
clams here. Once ordered some raw soft shell clams at Benkivitzs and made my
own, yum.

Any true-blue Italian knows that a small pizza is a meal.
I learned to make pizza myself because growing up we had Pizza night every
Saturday. My mother gradually fell into buying the dough but the rest was
hand made from cooking the sauce to the grating of the cheeses, chopping of
fresh toppings right down to the tossing the doubh before lying it in the
pans.
I'm a purist and prefer to make my own dough. Now, my mouth is watering and
I'm out of yeast!!

While I like to mix it up a bit and find my mood changes wrt to what pizza I
want, Mineos was pretty good.
I say was, because starting last fall sometime we began experiencing some of
the most utterly hideous service from them. From arriving to find that orders
had been missed and never prepared when it wasn't even particulalry busy, to a
comletely mashing of the order into something that none of us wanted to eat,
pizzas not being cut and flung into the box so that the entire contents of
the cheese and toppings were slopped over the side of the pie and stuck to the
bottom and side of the box...
We called and talked to someone they we always very apologetic and offering
to correct the problem if we came back, but the whole idea of getting pizza for a quick lazy meal is kinda negated when you have to make two trips out and it
turns into and hour and a half ordeal.
So we haven't been back since our last messed up trip in early January and
probably won't return anytime soon, if ever.
Paul Galvanek - Ver. 3.5

That is too bad.... I think the old man is gone now and it's being run
by his Son, Dominick??? Hopefully that kind of service won't
continue.... I can offer one place that is almost like Mineos, Aiellos
(sp) just up the street from them, the guy used to work for Mineos a
long time ago. Theirs pizza is almost like Mineos.. with a little
less spice, it's not bad Paul, have you tried it?

Pizza's not really Italian anyway. It's sort of a New York Italian spin
on some other Italian foods.
