Are you thinking about popping the big question? Did your hoopty breakdown recently? Are you late with your rent check? This might be your big break!

"Lean Back" said the Walnut Street telephone pole
Walnut Street in Shadyside was closed between Bellefont and Filbert today due to a utility post that is on verge of falling over. The pole looks like it’s ready to fall into the Henne Jewelers storefront. According to a fireman on scene, the wind did it.

You are warned that parking (which is already a major downfall to Walnut St) will be even worse than usual.
