Hello, I have two tickets to the Steel City Big Pour, Session 1 (12 - 3pm). These tickets sell out in minutes but sadly I can no longer attend. It's on Saturday, September 12th at Construction Junction. I've called them and they've assured me there will be no issue with transferring the tickets to someone else. The ticket price is $80/each so total $160. Please contact me via email if interested. Thanks, Laura

allstate insurance

Hello Everyone, I am contemplating switching all my insurance to Allstate and though the rates are good, I have read some bad reviews and comments on line regarding customers not being satisfied with how Allstate handled claims they have submitted, or with the amount they have been paid out when they had to file a claim. Is there anyone who now has or has had Allstate Insurance that can comment on this?? Have you filed a claim? Have you been satisfied? Are you happy with your experience? I would appreciate any feedback before I make my decision. thanks so much! susie

Missing mail?
by Tintinbrett 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Yesterday, I got a call from Duquesne light asking why they'd not received this months payment yet. Now, I had just paid a mess of bills, and sure enough, the electric bill was not amongst them. Thankfully, they are sending me a fresh one. Now I appreciate this might not sound like much, but when I was paying bills either this, or last month, I had reason to write a wee complaint to another utility company hitting me with 2 months worth of billing + late fees, because again; I had not received the previous months bill. Add to this, a good deal of time very recently spent pursuing the USPS (and particularly the local East Liberty branch) over 2 separate missing packages. Both of these packages were missing courtesy of the postal carrier/office (1 delivered to the wrong address, 1 just plain not delivered, and left on the shelf at the post office). Through notes here on the Listserve I discover that I am certainly not alone in this issue of missing packages, and I am now wondering if others have noted similar missing mail? Whenever I have spoken to the local PO, I have been told "oh, it's just that it's a new guy", and this too seems consistent with what other neighbours have been told too. I now find myself wondering what other mail I haven't received. I'm not worried about the bills, they will always find me. Sadly their pursuit is what makes me worry about other mail.

SFE Energy - scam?
by Bryan C. Mills 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Someone from SFE Energy just knocked on my door claiming to be checking energy bills on behalf of Duquesne Light and Peoples Natural Gas. I happened to notice that they had some kind of service agreement form in the folder they were carrying. SFE Energy is, to my knowledge, not in any way affiliated with Duquesne Light or Peoples. I already have a third-party electricity supplier, and what this person was telling me didn't gibe with the actual, legal process for switching suppliers. I can only assume that this is some kind of scam - at best, it's very misleading marketing. Be careful out there, and do your research properly before you sign any forms.
