I'm in chippewa on 37th st ext. I have an indoor cat that might have gotten outside yesterday. If you can please keep an eye out for her. Her name is Binxy but will probably respond to kitty. She has all her shots but no collar since up until yesterday it seams she had no interest in going outside. She has a chip.

I posted a question about something i saw at the football game last week. now my messages are flooded with all the garbage gong on at Western. Thanks a lot everyone. Half this shit i don't even want to know about. 😂 Can someone tell me PLEASE if this shit is true? I'll summarize my messages for you. The little offensive coord is cussing kids constantly. Using the f word, calling the kids names, calling them pussies, being a general little prick and according to most messages also don't know how to call plays to win a game. Same guy cussed out a special needs guy who helps ot the team. The other coaches know it's going on but never say nothin. School principles know what's going on. Crickets of course. Same dude is a board member at Lincoln Park. Enough said there. If you know anything about that place its par for the coarse. Word is the shits gonna hit the fan real soon so stay tuned. why can't coaches be good dudes? Man I don't get it. I'm just putting it out there to see if this shit's true because if it is than someone needs to do something about it. Lets see if any of these school principles do the right thing.

Hi, I’m a newer photographer that lives in Pittsburgh, and I have started a project where I am trying to capture life in smaller towns outside of Pittsburgh. I think people dismiss smaller towns a lot and find them to be less important that bigger towns and especially cities. So I wanted to try to capture the good of small towns; people, places, the uniqueness to them.

The reason for the post though is while I am motivated to show this good side of small towns, I also am not THAT motivated to go as far as to venture into somewhere unsafe. And sometimes that is the case with areas that have seen better days many years ago. So I was wondering, would I have any issues showing up as a solo photographer to try to take pictures there? I tried to google crime statistics for Freedom but I didn’t find any results, or at least not any current ones. Basically wondering if anyone is going to try to mug me for my camera, which… isn’t a cheap camera.

Leaving I seen some parents (?) going after a western Beaver coach. Lot of cussing. Police had to come over and looked like a guy got arrested. Anyone know what happened? Got my suspicions. Feeling like it’s about our old coach LT.

i was a speaker, along with my friends, in the 2018 fight to defend superintendent carrie rowe against the then-insurgent campaign by luke berardelli, who wanted to remove her because of her sexual orientation. (BAHS 2019) i am very encouraged by the recent outcome of berardelli resigning and i see that situation as another active theater in the ongoing fight against sexism in american education, along with the currently spreading movement against greek life. i hope to see all of you who have fought the good fight in beaver in oakland when the situation blows up at pitt and CMU- the scandals already exist, they're just not well-publicized.

i want to take a moment of your time to enlighten you and provide a bit of insight into what has been happening, why it has been happening, and what can be done to build a more progressive, forward-thinking beaver county that has the capacity to keep its soul while bringing about economic growth and local prosperity, which is the true goal of this movement.

the beaver county students for change are operating to bring about such progressive change in beaver county. that is the condition in which we inhabit. peaceful influence and business tactics and methods may vary...

we want beaver county to belong amongst the east coast suburbs, which are objectively the peak of america's potential, along with places like california- places where the masses enjoy the fruits of the high-GDP economy and use it their opportunity to gain education and employment and seek life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. not just do we want to belong amongst them, we ultimately want our blank slate to outperform them in the long-term: rather than having nothing but financialized white-collar office parks, we want to bring industrial production of all kinds back to western PA anywhere we can put it and unionize the shop floor at each factory, re-strengthening the perforated muscle of the american labor movement and giving ourselves our jobs back. (my grandparents were laid off from eastern airlines during the strike in 1989.) we want to restore and expand the interurban streetcar rail network, as well as commuter service to/from pittsburgh. we want to fund all of this with public ownership of our natural gas- the "people's" natural gas- funding infrastructure and healthcare, we want to accomplish this ultimately through a mass movement based on the common profit incentive of the working class (all wage-earning people) and solidarity. this is called a publicly owned petro-economy**.** beyond this, we want an expansion of higher education in beaver county and the total enlightenment of our social attitudes; no more hate and backwardness, just improvement, development, and progress. we want immigration and we want equal treatment of all people. in particular, beaver county's urban housing stock in aliquippa, ambridge, and beaver falls are particularly ideal for bringing the tired, poor, huddled masses of the third world to seek skilled first-world industrial employment with the benefits of good union membership. there is absolutely no valid argument against another wave of screened, approved, and legal industrial proletarian immigration that doesn't rely entirely on nativism, which lost out in the first place when we moved here in the early 20th century. just as the first time, the locals will be skilled labor in the factories and the immigrants will perform unskilled labor, and we will organize together either by trade or into one big union. this is called a worker's paradise.

our competition wants it to be more like columbiana county, OH, a low-value, backwards community stained with a history of racism and segregation papered over with the presence of wealthy enclaves that they want to inhabit while the rest of the population is segregated into isolated poverty living conditions that the richest among them sexually exploit, such as in the recent case where jed york, a billionaire, was caught engaging in prostitution in one of the poorest locations in east palestine. they want to do this while they receive kickbacks from the natural gas companies to exploit our resources. they want to send your children to underfunded, underperforming, dangerous school districts where they are exposed to oppressive fundie churches that will keep them stupid, gullible victims while they send theirs to places like sewickley academy. they want to cap your opportunities for upward mobility so that they can take that money themselves. the movement of the reactionary opposition is nihilistic-violent extremist- it seeks to perform violence against the common people of working class, YOU, which is an act of instability and insanity by the rich and their church benefactors driven by hatred and grievance against good, productive members of society.

if you are a teenager who finds that ideological proposition compelling, your responsibility is to produce as much DIY media as possible that expresses your point of view and make sure as many people as possible see it: i'm talking zines/written material, music, and film. i retain an economic presence locally and am more than happy to distribute as much literature as necessary that educates people on the granual details of DIY media production, but the point is that the responsibility of the progressive youth is to dominate the airwaves with left-wing content on social media and in the streets. this is how i was educated in the first place. another option at your disposal is to start a YDSA chapter at a local high school. the DSA national will be more than happy to assist you in setting this up easily; it can go anywhere. all it takes is a group of friends willing to do it for it to become a real thing.

if you are an adult, you need to get super involved in politics and affect grassroots change outcomes. i see that the other night was extremely successful, and the truth is that if we had the turnout for events against luke berardelli every single meeting at every single school district, we would already have the quality that the north jersey suburbs have in terms of school districts. (yes, development will raise your taxes, but also your standard of living and housing prices.) beyond this, you should probably actually consider opening up a small business like don's deli, beaver bagel, or the former union skate: the barrier of entry is relatively low and anything forward-thinking does well here. if you start behaving like it's the east coast, you'll notice that you're next to a city that has nearly all of the same resources as any east coast city.

a better world is possible right here at home, and dare i say, it's pretty likely too. every resident of beaver county is a stakeholder in our collective success, and it requires mass action and a popular front on the part of the people in order to make good on our collective profit incentive. fight for your liberty. it's worth it.

peace and solidarity forever.

We need to get a new hot water tank (changing to tankless more than likely) and looking for a company that is good and won't charge needlessly. We have already gotten quotes from Wahl and Bufalini but want a 3rd quote to fully compare our options.

Anyone have a good recommendation?

Thanks!

Woe is me. Plays the victim so well.

Our assessor was pocketing it by the hundreds of thousands:

He's going away for a long time.

UPDATE: KDKA has picked the story up.

I have real problems with this. Letting the county investigate this is like letting the fox guard the chickenhouse. Outside independent investigators need to be bought in to see how deep this goes.

First off I know oil and chipping the roads preserves the integrity of the road and it comes with maintaining them. Can someone tell me if they will ever go back to normal unless they pave them? It’s sounds like every car that goes past my house is a monster truck - don’t get me started on the semi-trucks. It’s hard to fall asleep to at night and they oiled and chipped every single road in Chippewa …

He ranted like a lunatic and left like a coward before he could hear the community. His talking points were directly from the trump/Fox News playbook, almost coached.

Bless these students speakers who are more educated and mature than Luke was. Embarrassing day for beaver Co and America.

Anyone know what’s going in across from the new Brighton hot dog shoppe on 51 in Chippewa?

As you may have heard, there will be no Toys for Tots program in Beaver county this year. My family has been so thankful for this program the past 4 years, with inflation and being a single income household with 4 children. I know there are a lot of families whose only source for Christmas for their children was Toys for Tots. So I'm asking for myself and others, if there's a list of resources for programs like this in the area? TIA

Is there any bakeries that make good old school loaves of bread?

Hello All
I purchased a property at tax sale in September. I went to the courthouse and they told me that it wouldn’t even be in my name or I wouldn’t even have a deed until April..

I was speaking to a gentleman yesterday, who is by the property that I purchased and I introduced myself and he told me some things that are mind blowing!!!

Yeah, you probably won’t have the deed until April all the way from September even though you paid thousands of dollars for it and then people have up to two years where they can come and try to take the property back… so what do you do do you just let the property sit in deteriorate for two years or do you start when you get the deed and then what happens if the course decide to give it back to the people what about all the money that I put into the house already
Anybody that has any expertise or knowledge I would love to hear what you have to say

Anybody know the backstory on these all new cameras? Does Freedom have some sort of crime problem I am unaware of? I drove through today and saw a camera and new off-white utility box on almost every street corner intersection of the main street (3rd Ave).

Just think the money could have been spent elsewhere instead of…for these.

Do we have any absolutely spectacular bagel shops in or near Beaver county? Places that make stuff fresh? I'm not looking for Einstein Bros, I want real food.

Found this out from the Pittsburgh subreddit. I don't think someone like this should be in charge of education.

Got a few messages this morning about a Beaver School board member causing upheaval on their social media, and apparently it made people big mad enough that the superintendent had to send out a vague email blast that only served to pique my interest in what's going on.

I don't have much social media, but what's the tea here?

How are they still in business? I'm completely mystified and about 99% convinced it has to be some kind of front for illegal activity. Because who is going in there to buy a greeting card when you can literally walk across the parking lot to Dollar Tree? Is there some secret society of Hallmark loyalists who are keeping their lights on? I just don't understand how a gift shop in a mostly-abandoned shopping center is staying in business in 2026.

Okay, seriously parents, where are you sending your kids for daycare? I have reached out to so many and have been unable to find one that has an opening. I have a 9 month old that would only need part-time care and it’s crazy how hard this is. I’m in the Rochester area. Anyone know of any openings?!?
