Keystone State Thread

Any of you Pittsburgh guys read about the lady who dropped her kid in the wild dog exhibit at the Pitt zoo? Sounds like she held him up on the edge of the fence and he fell in. Then the dogs had a snack. The police are investigating. Oh the Pittsburgh zoo.

 

Yep, 2 yo, mom held him ontop of fence, and she dropped him in. Sad. They had to shoot one if the dogs. It was the painted dogs. Guess they will be changing that exhibit around too.

 

Yeah I read they're pretty endangered too. It is very sad, but what a freakin idiot. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

 

Huh, I always thought there were no more PA lions!

 

Yep, and what crazy is, it was a railing, where the kid could very easily see through. Mom had no reason to do it. Was an 11 foot fall, so hopefully the fall did it, and not the dogs.

 

can we drop her into the lion exhibit "by accident"

 

I wish.

 

15 minutes with no traffic.

1 hour and 15 minutes during rush hour/steeler games/random saturday afternoons that don't make any sense. lol. I used to live in Plum and Forest Hills.

Welcome to T-Dubs!

 

Hello checking in from Ringtown in Schuylkill county.

 

Welcome from the Pittsburgh area! I think there are quite a few members here from out your way.

 

Hello! sweet will have to check out and maybe get a meet going

 

It's not that bad! Unless there is an accident or major construction (more often than not) it's never more than an extra 30 minutes. Truth is, our traffic in Pittsburgh is a cake walk compared to all the major cities around us. Have you ever sat in rush hour traffic trying to get out of Philly... or DC... or NYC?

Welcome!

 

OMG I was out there on Saturday when they had squirrel hill tunnel closed, I swear every road I tried to find around there was just another accident or more detours. I've never seen it that bad. Took me 2.5 hours to get to Monroeville from Ross Park Mall...

 

Not only did I find out this kid was from my neighborhood, but poor little guy lived on my street!

 

Maybe you can drop a wild dog into her house.

 

News put out a pic of the house and what street, so its not hard to figure out. I wouldn't be surprised if something happened.

 

I did the trip in and out of the city twice (Twice in and twice out) and didn't spend more than an extra 10 minutes on the road for the trips in.

If it took you 2.5 hours to go from the North to the East, then you were doing something wrong... the tunnels were only closed inbound (from the East).

 

Yeah I went on back roads on the way back so that slowed me down, accidents prevented me from getting to 376. And inbound I took a wrong turn and wound up in some neighborhood I'd never been to before lol. I'm not from around the area so I don't know all the routes therefore I just kinda did some guessing

 

I've lived here my whole life, and still get lost.

 

After seeing all the random back roads I had to take that does not shock me lol.
