(...) That's true--it's just a shame you have to go through Homestead to get to it! Seriously, I think that area will get a nice little boost in the coming years. (...)

(...) I agree, Forbes & 5th isn't really a good idea. Speaking of which, I should mention that Hari Krishna in Market Square FINALLY got busted for selling paraphernalia. Well, duh. They are doing some waterfront development a little bit down the (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.pa.pit)
