If you don't have time to wait for the trolley to pass, how do you have time to be rushed to theRead More hospital in an ambulance, and replace the car you just totaled? Slow down and smell the roses people. Where you are going is NOT as important as getting there safely.

Over the last 6-7 months I've seen at least three people drive onto the tracks at potomac andRead More broadway!

Maybe they need to add gates there?

Really simple solution - take your foot off the accelerator and go the speed limit and don't driveRead More when you've been drinking. It's really not that hard to slow down and go the speed limit. Reckless drivers should be pulled over - whether they've been drinking or not. The biggest cause of death on our roads is not drunk driving but speeding. Slow down people. If only more municipalities would try to make their roads safer by targeting speeders.

Once you know this; then you adhere the rest of the time. They enforce that 25mph and have everyRead More right to. I avoid that road as I like to travel faster than I could on horseback.
Bob Dobbs June 17, 2013 at 09:37 pm
maybe it's time to increase that antiquated speed limit .

These people should do time in jail, plus 200 hours of community service cleaning up the south hillsRead More streets. Also, pay for repairs to the front door they kicked in.
Gary June 17, 2013 at 04:38 pm
To me, this article shows you how out of line the media can be. I mean when people are arrested forRead More something, they are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Yet the media doesn't hesitate to put a persons name and face out there, and more or less paint them as guilty. This article went one step further by not only putting there names out there, but included their addresses. That's a real shame in my opinion.

I don't feel bad, that girl is no stranger to the law. Kicked in door and carrying things from theRead More house to a car with drugs in it? Sounds real innocent to me. The victim's privacy was violated when they broke into the house, why should these people's privacy be protected?
Several burglaries have been reported in Dormont in the past two weeks. (Photo Credit: Patch)

until these criminals are caught, perhaps the residents should put their lights on at night to deterRead More as much as possible.

Yes, the police told me they are brothers.
Ed M June 6, 2013 at 01:46 pm
It's good they were caught.

Why would you leave your wallet in your vehicle?
Kristy Byers May 9, 2013 at 03:57 pm
Why would anyone leave their wallet in an unlocked vehicle?
T&B T May 10, 2013 at 12:19 pm
Some people think that where they live is "safe". That's actually no the case ANYWHERERead More anymore. I am also mystified by people that still leave their doors unlocked.

Starts with bar fights, then drug issues follow along with graffiti, break ins and rising levels ofRead More crime. Families start to reconsider living in the area and develop a "get out at all costs attitude". Eventually more marginal folks start to move in. Incidents increase. Long term residents begin to fear being out. Fear wins out. More marginal people move in as housing prices drop and sellers just want out. Is it time for community involvement in establishing neighborhood watches and the community working in concert with police to keep the streets safe? These blotters indicate what seems to be an increasing level of criminal incidents. It starts with the petty crime and it builds. Skeptical ... look at many surrounding communities that were once proud enclaves of hard working people and today are associated with the term "slum".
Jesse May 21, 2013 at 07:23 pm
It seems noteworthy to mention that all of the "marginal people" mentioned in the blotterRead More report are not from Dormont, but Beechview, Castle Shannon, Carnegie, and the North Hills.
Ed M May 22, 2013 at 10:49 am
Very noteworthy Jesse. Dormont is still filled with hard working proud people.

The VFW Post 694 also sponsors annually 2 DABA(Dormont Athletic Boosters Association) youth baseballRead More and softball teams, sponsors and provides accomodations for our annual Halloween Party,Christmas Party, Monte Carlo and Golf Outing for as long as memory serves, and is a huge asset to the community. Thank You for all you do !
Erin Faulk (Editor) May 8, 2013 at 05:12 pm
Thanks for the info, Bob!

Thanks VFW! I cannot think of a better donation. God bless our Police Officers and especiallyRead More our Veterans!!

Are you forgetting about the murder at toms diner which is where most of the patrons from the vastaRead More go after hours.

When are they going to clean up that hotel on Banksville Road???
Ed M May 2, 2013 at 10:49 am
Both hotels on Banksville need cleaned up.
Belinda May 2, 2013 at 03:34 pm
True they are disgusting and have been for many many years. You can change names etc but can't seemRead More to get the scum out of there.
