Greyhound Bus Station (Parking Garage) taking a smoke break
The new Greyhound bus station on Liberty and 11th was on fire! Well, it wasn’t the actual Greyhound station that caught fire, it was a couple of cars in the parking garage. Or should we say a couple of hoopties? Five to be exact.

The Garden Theater in North Side is taken back in time
Where was Taylor Lautner filming this week? Not in the North Side of Pittsburgh like everyone suspected. Hollywood was indeed in that part of the Burgh, but filming One for the Money with Katherine Heigl. Guest contributor, Aidinslevel, sent in the following pictures from her trip to the movie set.

Haddad's and ABX trucks on Osage Road for Abduction

We were told that the house they were filming in (on Osage Road) supposedly belongs to the CEO of American Eagle Outfitters.

Katherine Heigl stopped at Chaya for sushi in Squirrel Hill!
Looks like Taylor Lautner isn’t the only Hollywood celebrity in town. All the guys in Pittsburgh are already sick of hearing about the werewolf, but at least they have the option to star-stalk Katherine Heigl who began shooting One for the Money in Ambridge yesterday. She must have asked someone where to get good sushi in Pittsburgh, because she ended up at Chaya on Murray Ave in Squirrel Hill. A server named Margaret Singer was lucky enough to get a picture with the Knocked Up star.
This is perfect timing for Margaret (aka @kissncry) who just launched her own vlog at TheOtherMaggie. In fact, she just posted an episode all about her A-list celebrity encounter called “Meeting a Celebrity at Work is Pretty Much Awesome“.
