Hmm, Here's Some Personal Advice

I had an epiphany today. It's really common sense to me and I don't know why it took so long to hit me.  Anyways, I guess I just thought it could serve as some advice to you guys... Okay, it's time to get serious...

If there is anything in life that you want to learn about, whether it be something big or small, DO IT!  Who cares if people watch, stare, creep, criticize, or make fun.  At the end of the day you're only bettering yourself by making yourself happy... And that's all that matters!

Catch That Sunlight!




I don't know about you, but this Greensburg weather is keeping an extra large smile on my face!  My car thermometer said it was about 75 degrees today and all sunshine.  Downtown Greensburg, as well as the Pitt-Greensburg campus was buzzing with all kinds of people outside having lunch, chatting with friends, throwing frisbee, and most of all just soaking up the sun.  Speaking of which, these little guys in my front yard were not about to get gypped on their fair share...

Anyways, hurry outside!!  You don't want to miss out :)

Let's Go Greenies!

Who the heck are the Greenies?  Well for all of you sports gooroos out there, the Greenies were Greensburg's own football team in the 1890's.  Who would have thought the City of Greensburg would have had their own football team.  It all started when the Greensburg Athletic Association formed a team in 1890.  They played other teams like the Latrobe Athletic Association.  Fun Fact: Latrobe was their biggest rival.  Anyway, the team fell apart in 1900 but left some pretty cool pieces of history to remain.  George Barclay played for the team and invented the first football helmet which looked something like this...



Not very supportive, huh?  There was also Charlie Atherton who invented the place kick, used for field goals and kick off.  Check out the Greensburg's Greenies!

The Munchkins Are Here!

Well everyone, I'm going on vacation for a few days but don't you worry I'll be back soon!  I wanted to leave you with some very exciting news though... The Dunkin' Donuts on Route 119 is now open for business!


So while I'm gone, eat all of the donuts, Munchkins, and muffins you can for me.  And don't forget to chug a handful of iced lattes and Coolattas, too.  ENJOY!

A Little Side Conversation

I was walking downtown and overheard a group of friends talking about what a great lunch and coffee date they had.  I'm not going to lie, I was getting a little jealous so I asked what restaurant they were talking about.  It turns out this group was just leaving Caffe Barista on West Otterman Street.

Besides their compliments on the great mocha coffees and lunch specials, they filled me in on a second part of the cafe called The Side Bar.  A two-part cafe, pretty cool huh?  You can still eat there and get drink specials, but it's just a little something extra.  Kind of like a two-for-one!


Who knew eavesdropping could be such a good thing??

Sunset Fever?

I'm a big fan of outside artwork like murals or unique paintings.  I was driving home two days ago and decided to take a short cut that I normally never do, and look what I ran into...


I thought it was fun, festive, and of course very Italian-like.  It belongs to the Sunset Cafe on South Urania Avenue.  Have any of you tried out their food before?  I've heard good reviews, so I'll have to check it out and get back to you guys!

In the meantime, everybody say Happy Birthday to Justin Bieber and go crazy with your Bieber Fever!
