When I worked for the record store another life ago, they wanted me to take over the Cranberry Mall store.

I visited.

I told them no.

True Story.








Two years later they wanted me to take over the top store in company which was the Columbus, OH superstore. I told them no to that too. I was soon to be married and didn't want that much disruption.

So there. It's on topic. I am just like Zach Parise, except my wife is WAY hotter.

I would've said no to Cranberry years ago too. Now it's its own freaking city.

huh... caps gave #28 to some kid in the development camp.
Semin is considered mopped up?


@dchesnokov
#Caps announced Development Camp roster. They reassigned Semin's 28 to Jaynen Rissling. Fair to say there'll be a new 28 in DC?

Man Semin was really a stain on the......... .. NOPE IM NOT GOING TO DO THIS TODAY

I student taught at the high school there.

So be careful what you hear about "good" school districts.

Meh, I don't know if Fox Chapel is a good one...it's wealthy, not sure that makes it good. I'm a Hampton grad, so I'm quite biased about the place. I don't miss it one bit (HS that is), but it prepared me beyond belief for college. I was quite a bit ahead of many classmates here. They caught up...but that's more because I'm lazy. Hah. The big ones are USC, Mt. Lebo, and Hampton. I think they're 123 in the state.

No, they are very, very good.

I always thought it was dumb when the Pgh suburbs argued about who was better. They are all very good school districts.

Come onnnnnn Parise.

I think he's Minny-bound.

I mean, I argued for my school too...hahaha, but that's because we were the undersized underdog (it's funny because we're Talbots). It is amusing in retrospect because I don't really care about Hampton anymore...and I've reached the point where I find it odd just how many of my friends still hang out with ALL their HS friends. I guess it's really not odd...anyway, we need someone to sign right now. Seriously.

They also offered me Monroeville or North Hills.

Again, No.

As a North Hillian, I am offended! But once again...a lot of the development has occurred in the past 10 years.

Minny is the only team I could tolerate him going to. It would suck losing him but I can understand the whole family and personal life thing. Other than them I just don't think any team can offer much more than what the Devils are offering. If he goes to a division rival for a few million extra than I will lose a ton of respect for him.

Hahahha, I was thinking of that one off of 28 in Cranberry. Well, I guess that's Wexford still. Across from Northway. Not really a rich area, but it is? If I were rich, I'd be all up on Fox Chapel though.

hey dont be knockin the wex.

Again, No.

Lets see here Cranberry has horrible traffic issues on 228/19 intersections.

McNightmare road I avoid like a plague (Heck I even live in McCandless).

Monroeville Blvd just like McNightmare....(I grew up out there). And you don't want to go anywhere near Monroeville Mall anymore.

Yeah we need some action in the FA Frenzy....
