Town Talk: Threadbare Cider and Mead — Jonathan Chapman would be proud

Town Talk: Threadbare Cider and Mead — Jonathan Chapman would be proud

When I drive down Spring Garden Avenue, it seems I am always in a hurry going to or coming from somewhere. Regrettably, I had never taken the opportunity to stop at Threadbare Cider and Mead. Nor did I know what exactly Threadbare Cider and Mead was; yet I vowed I would stop someday to check it out. 11/11/2024 10:00 AM

Town Talk: Oliver’s Flower Shop — Delivering flowers since 1929

Pittsburgh is famous for so many things that it is hard to compile all of them into a single list. Yet, there may be one famous fact that might not be as well known. It is the connection of the 1952 classic movie “Singin’ in the Rain” to a historic Pittsburgh flower shop. To learn what that connection is, you will need to read the rest of this column. I do not want to spoil the surprise. 10/21/2024 09:00 AM

Many of us (who are older) have chanted that phrase as we waited our turn at the neighborhood ice cream truck or local Dairy Queen. 08/19/2024 09:00 AM
