***Roving Pittsburgher Report DebutThis is a page on PPL Mag where average people can review and talk about Pittsburgh Clarksburg , WV 
JoAnn’s Visits:
I attended the Pittsburgh Symphony Pops, Gerschwin show; you can see the full review on The Roving Pittsburgher Report at Still Humming From Gerschwin at PSO Pops I just want to gush about this. The PSO is marvelous, and when they do the pops, it’s spectacular. There was a five minute standing ovation at intermission, and one of the neat things about this program is that they had home movies from the Gerschwin family playing in the background. The tap dancer, Ryan, reminded me so much of Fred Astaire. He was amazing, a treat to watch.
Chorus Line - I went with my good friend, Louise, and this show was part of the CLO at the Benedum. It’s two hours with no break, but really is delightful. I had never seen it, and I especially liked the songs What I Did for Love and I Can Do That. There were many different stories intertwined, and a nice love story to boot. I was immersed into it, and the time flew by. The dancing was spectacular.
Sonny and Jo’s Pub and Pizza – Banksville Road
Biz Women’s Independent Press, 6th Anniversary Party at The Rivers Club - This was a really nice event with great hors d’oeuvres and several speakers. Close to 100 women were there and there was no charge to attend. Donations were accepted for The Pittsburgh Food Pantry, which is really in need of help. There was lots of networking and just good laughter and company.
Penny’s Visits:
Boxing Event at Greentree Sportsflex – I went to this last minute and sat with local fighter, Michael Moore. It was quite interesting and really exciting, as this was my first time at a match. I was just a little afraid because our table was right up front, and I thought they’d drip sweat on me. It didn’t happen though! Next time, I’ll sit a little farther back. Great nachos!
Wingheart’s - Market Square
Pittsburgh
Don Hodor’s House for SouthPointe Chamber Party - We had a great time and there was awesome food prepared by Chef Jason Capp from Bella Serra. He was grilling out in the 94 degree heat, ever the professional, still wearing his Chef coat. He made the most elegant picnic food, including fresh hamburgers and homemade chips, homemade relish and homemade pickles. Frank Cunimondo also played at the event. He is an amazing piano player and never took a break, what phenomenal energy!
Peter’s Place – They have large banquet facilities, which I have used for my own family’s events. Mike Peters, the owner, owned the original Tiffany’s on Route 51. I love their Chicken Tiffany, which is a crispy breaded chicken cutlet stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar cheese and sautéed mushrooms covered with chicken gravy. I actually do that with a twist, creating a lasagna filling for my Penny’s Plates show. They also have great crabmeat Hozelle and seafood bisque, original recipes from Tiffany’s. The prices are quite reasonable, as well.
Sauce – Bridgeville. This is a wonderful place to go with the kids for some great wings. They do any flavor, but we always get Honey BBQ, Mixed Garlic, and Screamin’ Hot. They do a lot of cast iron skillet foods, like burgers with no buns. And for dessert you can get homemade cookies and ice cream in the skillet, unbelievable!
Penny is revitalizing the Pittsburgh Business Barter Office of ITEX, International Trade Exchange, the largest business barter organization in the world. The Pittsburgh Office Re-Launch is scheduled for mid July.
