Paris 66 French Bistro in East Liberty

When I heard of a French restaurant in the heart of East Liberty, I wondered how would a French bistro know what Pittsburghers enjoy? Since visiting Paris a few months ago, I thought Paris 66 surely would fall flat in the face of my expectations. I shuddered at thoughts of any French restaurant sacrificing the gourmet elegance of French cuisine to bring us Pittsburghers what we were used to. I was definitely not going to order pierogies this time around.

Target Store to Open in East Liberty Summer of 2011

A double decker Target store is being built in East Liberty on Penn Ave. You no longer have to deal with all that damn traffic on the Homestead High Level bridge – and no more long drives to Robinson or Mcknight Road. Ground has been broken and the construction has begun. The new store is set to open sometime in July 2011. Supposedly it is the first Target of its kind with two stories and walls full of windows. Improvements to our city are exciting, and even if shopping centers and department stores are boring… the level of convenience is definitely increasing!

Pittsburgh’s musical community is unique in its nature.  Directors and musicians are more apt to share ideas about their creative process and give feedback about what they think of singers, music and the art forms they espouse than those in larger, more disparate cities.  As a professional musician, Andres Cladera exhibits just such a quality and illuminates the fact that the arts community here in Pittsburgh is a highly concentrated, close-knit group of talented amateurs and professionals interested in honing their craft.

MAYA Design Southside a Studio or Nightclub?

Maya Design Studio in SouthSide Works

A few months ago, we wrote about Joseph-Beth Booksellers and how they moved to across the street. It would appear that the old bookstore is still vacant with “We’ve Moved” posters still taped to the doors and windows. Back in April, the I Made It! Market: Chili w/ the Works craft show was held in the empty space and it was fun, but something’s gotta give. Empty buildings like this are boring!

You might have noticed a really cool sign on the top of the building that says “MAYA” with an upside-down A. How long has that sign been there?! After a quick search, it turns out that MAYA is a big time design firm – in their own words they are a “design consultancy and technology research lab”. Ok, but why does their sign look like a nightclub?! Maybe not a nightclub, but it made us think something fun and exciting was going to fill the void.
