Trying to Get Back!

Well it’s been about 2 months since my last post. I’ve been so busy with work, trying to coordinate and raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides walk that took place in May, and then there are these damn Penguin games taking up all my time.

I would love it if more people would like to contribute to this Blog. My vision for this is to be a TRUE neighborhood website, not just one person’s ideas and opinions. Kinda of a “by the people for the people” kind of thing. Please let me know what ideas you might have. I am going to try and keep this blog updated the best I can.

In the mean time, let’s see what’s been going on the last few months in our community.

From May 7th, a nice little video discussing the research of the history surrounding the Old Stone Tavern

Also from May 7th, an Elliott man gets sentenced 15-30 years in a stabbing death.

Here’s is a link to the story of the garbage truck accident that happened directly in front of the above mentioned Old Stone Tavern

Here is a great blog excerpt about Townsend Park in Elliott from the Pittsburgh Hoagie. I couldn’t agree with him more. I would actually like to walk around the neighborhood with my digital camera and find similar stories. Great Job Matt.

Baseball / Softball Signups

The Elliott West End Athletic association will be Holding signups for TeeBall, Baseball, and Softball on February 7th, 11th, and 21st. If your kids want to play, make sure get up there on one of the above dates. I can't say enough good things about this program.
