What Yinzer things do you do?

[Troy Loney]

Can anyone here give the proper answer to this?

There was a Hills on Perry Hwy in the North Hills.

What is it now?

The only Hills I knew of in North Hills was at North Hills Village back when that was an interior mall and not the storefront strip-style it is now. This one is before my time.

Wait... North Hills Village is a Strip mall again?

It was a strip mall in the 60's and 70's... it only changed to an interior mall in the late 70's / early 80's or so.

And now you're telling me it's a strip mall again?

I'd guess it's been a strip mall for about 10 years now. Best Buy/Target are the anchor tenants.

ok. i was thinking about Northway Mall. What would that be considered nowadays?

Interior, but I can see why you'd say weird hybrid.

I don't know, but I thought it was still interior.

"This is Janice Dean, from the Allegheny Cahnny Prechrahl Services, sayin' to you, 'doen' drink 'n drive.' ".

The transcription here is glorious. 100% spot on.

I think it's "tellin' you" and not "sayin' to you," but I'm so glad you got the real spirit behind it! LOL!

if were getting nostalgic, The Children's Palace was probably one of the greatest store trips a young canaan would make with the famdamily.

[slappybrown]

What a place that was. The on McKnight is a furniture store now I believe.

[ulf]

Sounds like a Michael Jackson playground

[Idoit40fans]

Wow, I completely forgot about Children's Palace. I'd always go there and then if something I wanted wasn't there, I'd hope for a trip to toys r us where they would inevitably also not have it.

That would be Camp Tickletown

[AlexPKeaton]

Yeah back in Robinson Town Center's hayday, they had a Children's Palace, a Phar Mor, and a Hills... IIRC.

Yep, there used to be a multiplex in the little strip mall there as well...

None of you are Yinz is old enough to remeber Zayres are you?

[ExPatriatePen]

Speaking of Zayre... How about Sun Drug? Thorofare?

[ExPatriatePen]

You know there's "NO Winky's in Wilmerding???!!!!"

[slappybrown]

Here's one from the archives: David Weis department stores. I used to go to the one in Oakland.

Phar Mor video was so vastly superior to Giant Eagle video.

Let's see (I stole a lot of these from previous posts):

I have random cravings for pierogies, sheetz, primantis and chipped ham

I say buggy, "Red up," sweeper, pop, and Stillers (Can't help it, comes natural)

I often times randomly include mentions / stories of Pittsburgh way too often / get upset that most people here seem to think of it as a dirty, ghetto, city . I also get upset of all the connections people make to Philly here. "OOO your from pgh, YEA MY COUSIN LIVES IN PHILLY!" or "OOO I LOVE THE EAGLES!"

Kennywood is awesome

Rolling rock is my "go to cheap beer"

I still listen to pgh sports radio while I work

25% of the time I wear Pittsburgh sports gear (And that increases when one team is any form of the playoffs)

People here ask where I'm from so apparently I have an accent

[slappybrown]

Not familiar with Elby's but: PANCAKE SANDWICH

Elby's sponsered a 20K roadrace (footrace) in Wheeling for years... It was an absolute killer... you ran stright up the side of the mountain. Uphill for like a mile and a half. What a challenge.

[shafnutz05]

I only know Elby's because my Mom was a waitress there around the time I was born (1983)
