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

Magisterial District 05-2-42 News: R.I.P. Bethany House
Magisterial District 05-2-42 News: R.I.P. Bethany House
In the evening of Feb. 6, my son and I both took notice of the several fire trucks that were racing past our home on the way to what for us at the time, was some unknown destination. While a fire truck or two going past is not unusual, this occurrence stood out as it lasted for several minutes and seemed to include “countless” rescue vehicles. We concluded that there must be a devastating fire “somewhere”, and we hoped that everyone was okay. In the early morning of Friday, Feb/ 7, 2025, a friend texted me with a news screenshot of a burned out structure and one simple line, “R.I.P. BETHANY HOUSE.” This prompted me to immediately turn on my television at which point the connection between the events the night before and my friend’s text became obvious. And although the news was reporting a devastating fire in Reserve Township, let’s be abundantly clear, the Bethany House was Northview Heights (NVH). 03/01/2025 10:00 AM
