Pepperwood Grill's Grand ReOpening in Greensburg,PA takes place tonight! Decisions, decisions.  There are so many wonderful options for us here in central Westmoreland County to enjoy fine foods, great wines, and fun entertainment.  And of course on every Friday night during the summer we are treated to Summersounds Concerts In The Park at St. Clair Park in Greensburg.  Tonight the Concert features Hayes Carll as he brings his colorful brand of character-driven Texas country to Western PA.  A good place to be - in the shade on the hillside, drinking in the scenes and sounds.  Bring you friends, your family and your dogs.  Chill out with a picnic supper!  A welcome spot for all.

SOME WONDERFUL RESTAURANT OPTIONS IN GREENSBURG, PA A couple nights ago I visited my son Erik (my real estate partner and sometime bartender) at One Eleven and "forced myself" to enjoy a glass of an extraordinary Ridge Vineyards Paso Robles Zinfandel while I waited for their new featured appetizer Pizzette!  Crusty crust of flour and cornmeal drenched in olive oil and fresh garlic and delicately grilled then slathered with fresh cut sauteed sweet onions, layered with fresh spinach and then topped with shaved parmesean and provolone and fired in a super hot oven to crisp.  Bring your appetite - this is an appetizer built for kings to savor.  And like most selections at One Eleven the portion is very large - this is definately for two!  And that Zin is a perfect pairing!  My current vote ... 01/27/2011

We are blessed in our region to have access to the world-renowned UPMC Children's Hospital to care for our children in medical crisis.  But the families of many children, both here and afar, often do not have the medical insurance or resources to take advantage of this incredible institution.  The Hospital's Free Care Fund is a primary source of assistance for these families. Each year our company, Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, and Howard Hanna Agents and Offices throughout Western PA devote incredible energy, talent, time and personal resources in developing and holding fund raising events in each of our local communities. Howard Hanna calls these Events the Chow Chow Express and each fall our "train" rolls into a community near you.  To date we have raised over $5 million to help... 11/08/2010

Hallowe'en, a Scottish contraction of the term All Hallows Evening is a rather ancient tradition with both pagan and Christian roots.  In the Celtic tradition it represents a fall festival called Samhain, denoting the end of "longer days" and the commencement of "darker days".  It was thought that at this breakpoint in seasonal cycles the barriers between the living and spirits worlds became "thin".  Lighting of bonfires and donning of masks were thought to protect one by warding off less kindly spirits. In the Christian tradition the feasts, festivals and religious celebrations of All Saints Day, and the following All Souls Day, celebrate not only the memory of the Saints and their deeds and spiritual impact, but also a spritual communion between those who have died and are in a "state... 10/20/2010

I was fortunate enough to be at the Robokyo Japanese Restaurant Grand Opening Party in Greensburg, PA this weekend. It was an absolutely fantastic experience and the best Japanese food that I have eaten anywhere.  If you love food and you love to have a great time you should definitely check Robokyo out. My whole family and myself had a wonderful time.  The staff is excellent. We were all treated great and the service was wonderful.  So I say fire up the Hibachi and dive into some Sushi at Roboky today.  It is Greensburg's can't miss experience. 01/23/2008

Following the Revolutionary War, an inn was built along a wagon trail (today's East Pittsburgh Street) that stretched from Philadelphia west over the Appalachian Mountains to Fort Pitt, now Pittsburgh. A tiny settlement known as Newtown grew around the inn, today the intersection of Pittsburgh and Main Streets.A raid by Guyasuta-led Seneca Indians accompanied by Canadian rangers burned Hannastown, the original Westmoreland County Seat north of Greensburg, in 1782. Newtown became the new county seat in 1785. In 1786 the county built a log courthouse on land purchased from two residents, Christopher Truby and William Jack. Every Westmoreland County Courthouse since has stood on this site. The area surrounding the courthouse became the original borough of Greensburg, named for Revolutionar... 03/31/2007
