A few minor stories:
1.
Lawrenceville community groups (Lawrenceville Corporation and Lawrenceville United) moving forward with historic designation of Holy Family Church.
2. Long-empty building in Lawrenceville (
here - right near my old house) to be converted into food hall. They will have to go in front of ZBA regarding variances - most notably not having parking - in July.
3.
Black Forge Coffee has started a kickstarter to raise funds to open a second location in McKees Rocks. The decision is spurred by noise complaints related to live concerts in Allentown.
I believe this is the building in question, judging by the windows you can see on the interior picture.
