Allegheny County is offering plenty of options to get your ballot submitted before Nov. 3. The Elections Division of Allegheny County <https://www.alleghenycounty.us/elections/index.aspx> is expanding hours for its office and lobby, starting on October 26. There, voters can apply and receive their mail-in or absentee ballot, or return their completed ballot. There will also be additional election offices open starting this coming weekend. “It’s the mail-in/absentee ballot process, but all in one place/time,” explains Allegheny County Communications Director Amie Downs. “Voters will apply, elections will process and issue a ballot if the voter is eligible, and the voter can complete the ballot, seal it in the envelopes and return it there in one shot.” For a complete statewide list of ballot drop boxes and dropoff sites, and satellite county election offices, go here. <https://www.votespa.com/Voting-in-PA/Pages/Return-Ballot.aspx> *The hours for the Allegheny County Elections Office, at 542 Forbes Avenue, 6th floor, Downtown Pittsburgh, are:* Tues.-Fri.

Trick or Treat
by Melissa Hong-Barco 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Hello all, I know that the city has announced Trick or Treating is on for 5-7 but has anyone thought about the numbers? Being on Highland we get a ton of kids. Do people think it will be about the same this year? More? Less? And what are the ideas for keeping the handing off as safe as possible? I have seen the PVC pipe with the skull at the bottom, any other thoughts? Thank you! Melissa

Constant intermittent police sirens, helicopters
by Joy 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

I notice the constant police sirens for the past couple of months, along with constant helicopters over the neighborhood, and on days with no protests (never mind what purpose helicopter surveillance serves at protests). I can't hold zoom class, or zoom calls, outside, I can't even carry on a normal conversation with my family. These aren't ambulances. We don't have a meteoric rise in Covid emergency room cases. Literally there would have to be constant criminal emergencies happening to merit this level of audio disturbance, which is beyond noise pollution and has become torment. The sirens sometimes come on suddenly and for 5 seconds then stop. Throughout the whole evening. What is even going on?? I wish we could move. I love this neighborhood, but this is ridiculous. Joy
