Roving Pittsburgher Report
Hanlan’s Restaurant
17 Foster Avenue, Crafton Ingram Shopping Center, Crafton, PA 15205
This is located where the old Andrea’s Restaurant was, right in the heart of Crafton Ingram Shopping Center. Great soup, home cooking and their combo is unique. Their combo is either cake or pie and coffee for $2.99 or $3.99. Try the pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw and onion straws on it, it’s a great choice, and their vegetable soup is fresh and delicious. For those of you who might remember, this is the Hanlan’s who was in the building across from Mercy Hospital for many years. They also have a location on Liberty Avenue.
Point State Park Fountain Reopening
This included an amazing light show on the water and music abounding throughout the first night of the Three Rivers Arts Festival. An estimated 800,000 people visited the festival this past weekend, which runs with changing juried artwork and entertainers through June 17. More info at: http://threeriversartsfest.org.
Other Desert Cities
Pittsburgh Public Theater’s production of “Other Desert Cities” is a study in family dynamics of polar extremes. The first act unfolds on the morning of Christmas Eve following a family tennis match. The patriarch, Lyman Wyeth and his wife, Polly, are presented as old guard Republicans, conservatives of the far right; their children, Brooke and Trip, are clearly political adversaries, young liberals of the self-righteous left.

PPT’s playbills, in addition to listing the cast and creative staff bios, season sponsors and advertisements, provide some context for the work that is presented. For “Other Desert Cities”, the audience is treated to a match game of political contrasts (Al Franken in the same quiz as Shirley Temple Black) as well as descriptions of the individuals and venues that are the name dropped references, the likes of Totie Fields, Dinah Shore, the Brown Derby and Mrs. Annenberg.
“Other Desert Cities”, where families put the ‘fun’ in dysfunctional. See if you recognize traits of your own. “Other Desert Cities” is the final production in the 2012-2013 season for PPT. It runs through June 30 at the O’Reilly Theater. Read Joyce Kane’s full review here.

“Each year the officials in the ECFOA select a coach who by his actions demonstrates the highest ideals of sportsmanship,” ECFOA spokesman Dennis Crim said in a letter announcing Mihalik's selection as the award winner.
“[Coach Mihalik's] interaction with officials, players, and coaches exemplifies the highest ideals of collegiate athletics,” Crim said. “By his actions, he set a bench mark for his players and coaches to follow. It is always a pleasure for our officials to work Slippery Rock games.” Read the entire release here.
The Pittsburgh Passion Finish their Regular Season with another Shut-Out
The Passion wrap up their regular season with a win against the Detroit Dark Angels, for the defense’s fourth shut-out of the season 31-0; the Passion finish with a 6-2 record in the Women’s Football Alliance.
Pittsburgh Passion Defensive Back, Sharon Vasquez, lead the defense with five tackles and an interception in the first quarter, returning the ball for a 51-yd touchdown. This ties the Passion record with three career interceptions returned for touchdowns.
