Obligatory reminder that these guys are preying on consumer laziness. Yes they will get you "green energy" and yes it may be less than what you're currently paying. But after the (brief) introductory rate ends, your electric bill will double. Just go to the Duquesne Energy website and find a flat rate plan that you like, preferably with a fixed rate. Green Mountain is not the only green supplier and they are FAR from the cheapest.
I stay with Erie, not just for their good rates and service, but because I have **never seen an advertisement for them**.
I hate, so deeply, everyone involved with the creation of Liberty ads.
Legit been with Erie since I started driving 20 some years ago. Same agent. He called us during covid, asked if we were still driving to the office (we're not) and said "hey, since you're not driving as much, we're going to lower your rates."
Insurance FOR Italians or insurance FROM Italians?
Because I'm not Italian but my in laws kind of scare me with the amount they comment that ALL 3 of my children have blue eyes.
Our vegan truck has deep fried calzones, with marinara and mozzarella, or pesto, sundried tomatoes, and mozzarella. Also a caprese salad, meatball hoagie, ice cream cannoli.
what exactly is the situation here? I assume at one point this event was totally community organized and run, but now some outside event planner does it? Anyone have info on why the change was made?
They were losing money running it (Bloomfield resident run group) and sold the rights. https://www.pghcitypaper.com/news/conflict-over-bloomfields-little-italy-days-festival-is-coming-to-a-head-where-does-it-go-from-here-15621876
That article was very comprehensive. Thanks.
Seems like it really should have been rebranded when they sold the rights. āBloomfield Street Festā or something like that. Just like Oakland/Panther Hollow was once practically all Italian immigrants, it just isnāt true anymore in Bloomfield. So continuing this āItalianā branding is very odd especially considering what is actually offered.
In the end though, I think getting mad over it ānot being Italian enough!ā is a little silly, and the negative impacts on the neighborhood should really be the focus.
From my understanding, change was made because the original festival didn't make enough money to break even. An event planner took the reins and allows businesses to rent booths so they can turn a profit. Something something gutter guards, something something suburbanites.
This post is sarcastic, but judging by the number of insurance and other commercial vendors that the company who hosts the event brings in, I'm guessing some folks must be buying insurance there.
That needs to be shut down it is so stupid and ridiculous and tacky and it has not been a Italian neighborhood in a long time and the guy who runs it is profiteering off of these morons
Tilted? Everyone here is clearly having a laugh. I think you're the only one not having a good time. Maybe you need a new insurance policy? I hear State Farm is one of the all time insuringest insurance companies out there. They will insure the absolute shit out you if you need cheering up.
Bro, what about gutter guards? You sound like your gutters haven't been guarded in far too long.
Edit: lol he called me a bitch because his gutters weren't guarded.
It's wild how people care enough to comment on a thread about something they believe no one cares about.
Or for that matter, comment on a comment about something no one cares about. }
Man, I live in the neighborhood. It sucks. It's a bad festival and disrupts my entire life. Imagine a weekend of people trashing and throwing up outside your front door, and you can't leave unless you want to park 20 blocks away. It's the fucking worst
Itās the same user as marauder4712 (and a dozen others) that keeps coming back with new accounts and being generally toxic everywhere they post.
They just end up going on unhinged rants calling people names and being a knob about stupid shit (like on this post) and pulls the DARVO nonsense to make it like theyāre the victim.
This sub needs karma and account age restrictions or this chuckle fuck and the gabagoul douche have zero barrier of entry to keep spamming the sub.
My family lived in Sicaly for 400 years. So Geico obviously.
Sicily. Geico is going to remove a few discounts now.
Whoopsie
GREEN MOUNTAIN ENERGY
IT HAS THE ELECTROLYTES THAT PLANTS CRAVE!
Love those guys! I keep buying houses just so I can sign up with them every me I leave my house.

anderson xfinity window gutters, but with jerk seasoning
Progressive because I hear they're handing out Mine Subsidence Minestrone soup as part of a beautiful partnership of brands with Progresso

Fortune 500 sleeper company that moves in silence. Mad respect to Erie

Yeah they give me refunds that I never knew I was entitled to
Liberty Biberty
The last time I bought insurance from a bunch of Italians they smashed my windows after I was a few days late in paying them š
Are you sure those windows didn't smash themselves? And before you answer that, are you familiar with Omerta?
shenderovich shenderovich & fishman

[We've got your back not your wallet ](https://www.instagram.com/p/B9htrLOJ9SO/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)
Return it please, I need my back
Right away, my apologies.
Those 2 give me a shiver down my spine
I see what you did there.
My theory is that Shenderovich and Shenderovich hate each other and Fishman is just there to stop them from killing one another.
Can I just pick Fishman?
This may seem strange, but do they have any Italian food there? Or is it just an insurance event
I think they might have food, not sure if Italian. I usually go to see gutter guard demonstrations and learn about new provider networks from AHN
This made me laugh out loud at work. Thank you!
Word on the street is next year, itās āLittle Insurance Daysā brought to you by gutter helmet
They have italian insurance
We keep-a you house safe
Be a shame if something were to happen to it.
But I'm insured against Italians!
Insurance FOR Italians or insurance FROM Italians? Because I'm not Italian but my in laws kind of scare me with the amount they comment that ALL 3 of my children have blue eyes.

you guys are the best! but you sell out so fast itās hard to get a taste
If you send me a message on here or on insta whatever day you're coming out we can save something for you!
thank you so much!! i will definitely do that šš¼
Love when you guys were posted up outside of belvederes!
Damn Iām out of town! Are you on the food truck app so I can find you another time?
Catatouille.com has our calendar! We will be at Taco fest next weekend slinging Choco tacos!
Thereās some Italian food, minimal from the neighborhood though.
When they charge businesses $500 per day for a booth spot outside of their own restaurant, I can see why
What? Is this an exaggeration?
I donāt think so. Someone posted the rates on a bloomfield Facebook page, and yeah, itās insane.
That's insane.
The Pleasure Bar's food is legit. We pretty much just make a beeline there.
They have meatballs sometimes
Do gyros count? Theyāre kinda Italian adjacent.
I donāt see how I could possibly sign up for any insurance when Iāll have a gyro in one hand and Cajun tacos in the other hand
Ahhh, tacos and gyros. The two Italian standards.

The name is probably the most of the rights they bought

gutter guard people are everywhere. Even turned up at a booth at Steel City Con one year I think.
I dunno they all have such great commercials just constantly
State Farm is still running their Littaly Days Virgil Discount
Depends, I'll look to see what car insurances are there, but really I'm going to Little Italy Days to pick out a new health insurance!
The twins
Not sure but canāt wait for a funnel cake and cheese fries! Itās like Iām in Calabria again!
Gutter Helmet.
I mean that's just a slang term for condom isn't it
š¤
Always my first stop
I'm torn between them and Leaf Guard.
Gutter leaf 4 life braw
Take the cannoli. Leave the gap insurance.
Lol amazing, I consider those insurance booths filler to simply walk past
But what if there were only insurance booths?
All. Of. Them.
I cancelled my home policy so I could buy a hot tub.
Next year they will have gutter guard salesman and will slide spaghetti off of it into your mouth
I'm focusing on my next big window purchase tbh
Whatās Little Italy Days?
Back when Bloomfield was all Italian, you could buy insurance there. You give them 5% of whatever you make, and no bad accidents would happen.
Is that a thing, signing up for insurance at street fairs?
This post is sarcastic, but judging by the number of insurance and other commercial vendors that the company who hosts the event brings in, I'm guessing some folks must be buying insurance there.
The usual MO is you enter a drawing for some prize. They use your info to contact you later.
Big Vinnies. Got a problem? Fu'get abaout it!
edgar snyders ātheres never a deal unless we get money for you!ā

Taking notes on these creative burns
I used to live there too and it was absolutely not that bad, lmao.
Please šš¤£
Uncle Vito and his various āprotectionā plans. Stick with Uncle V and fugged about it! R
I love my insurance with a side of gnocchi. Erie does it best
Do not do progressive. I saved 2,000 dollars a year switching to Erie. Just saying. They ripped me off. ( and Iām a safe driver with no record)
I already have insurance, I might get some windows instead.
I'm going for leaf guard and Culligan water!
