Town Talk: Amy Stephenson — An authentic Northside treasure

Town Talk: Amy Stephenson — An authentic Northside treasure

How many of us remember when Federal Street was bustling with hundreds of businesses and trolley cars from Perrysville all the way to the river (yes, prior to the Allegheny Center Mall)? And how many 100-year-old women do you know who continue to design and sew their own dresses? Well, I became acquainted with one remarkable woman — Miss Amy Bell Stephenson who turned 100 this past March — who not only remembers those Federal Street businesses and trolley cars but owned a popular fashion design business on that busy Federal Street. And she is still sewing! 06/16/2025 09:24 AM

Town Talk: Taqueria Acosta’s tacOcat — Not your typical alley cat

We have experienced a winter this year that has been a bit colder than the last few. And on one of the coldest nights in January, my husband and I decided to visit an exciting pop-up restaurant on East Ohio Street called tacOcat. We did not know what to expect, yet realized as soon as we entered the relaxing, cool retro space that this visit was the purr-fect choice for a frigid night. We barely passed through the front door when we were enthusiastically greeted by the bartender and hostess. Once inside, every other person working there offered a kind hello and welcomed us. We felt as if we entered a friend’s home who gave us a warm hug. 03/24/2025 09:00 AM
