Pittstarter: Play Games with LFG

Last week, I took a trip out to Brookline to sit down and get defeated at a variety of games at Looking for Group (LFG). The name and its abbreviation is a well known phrase in gaming communities- the online call of “does anyone want to play with me?”   LFG hopes that you want to do more than just play.

PITA PIT…fresh and frugal

Pita Pit in the South Side Works has been open for a month or so now and is one of the best new additions to Pgh. I have been wishing one would open here for quite some time.

Yes, work has called me outside of the city limits and I was in need of an urban haven. Aldo Coffee Company meets, actually exceeds, all of my requirements for a good coffee shop so it is worth mentioning.
