## Resource

The Parkway East is shutting down Friday, July 10th — not just for a few hours, but full closure with detours that could crush local businesses. Murray Avenue in Squirrel Hill is bracing for chaos, with pizza spots like Aiello’s fearing a nightmare of lost customers and even cutting hours. Meanwhile, Ardmore Boulevard’s Roman Bistro is more worried about staff commutes — but still figuring out how to warn customers. Skepticism runs high: construction timelines rarely hold, and everyone’s waiting to see if this 25-day estimate actually sticks. The real test? How well detour routes handle the traffic and how businesses survive the disruption. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
