Dormont’s Historic Pool Makes a Splash
July 16th, 2008 categories: Dormont, Mt. Lebanon, Scott Township, South Side, Upper St. Clair
This 160-foot by 420-foot gem in Dormont – slightly smaller than the state of Delaware, it’s the largest public pool in Pennsylvania and the only one designated a landmark — is the core of the town, a place where mothers and fathers and grandparents congregate to chat, catch-up, compare tans, socialize and, of course, swim. It’s just a bit after noon, the pool has just opened, and the towels and chairs are already being placed on the concrete “beach.”
Amy Torcaso, the pool’s manager for the past 23 years, says that on a really good (read: hot) day, about 1,500 people visit the pool; that number hit 2,500 one July 4 weekend in early 2000.

Dine in Upper St. Clair at Piccolina’s Italian Restaurant
July 10th, 2008 categories: Upper St. Clair
Another Upper St. Clair restaurant, Piccolina’s, has been featured in a local newspaper:
A culinary oasis awaits hungry people in Upper St. Clair. Piccolina’s Italian Restaurant is a cool breeze on a hot summer day. You can sit at a table on the shaded porch by a babbling brook for lunch or dinner, or enjoy the family atmosphere inside. Fine dining is enhanced by fine wines — more than 100 bottles hand-picked by co-owner Debbie Curiglinao — and, after dinner, a complimentary serving of house-made limoncello ends the experience with a sweet goodbye.

Downtown Living vs. the Suburbs
April 23rd, 2008 categories: Buyers, Dormont, Downtown Living, Mt. Lebanon, Peters Township, South Side, Upper St. Clair
There are some great benefits to living closer to downtown — proximity to food, entertainment and shopping, as well as access to the amazing cultural scene. There are also wonderful aspects of living in the suburbs, like owning a bit more land and having a larger house as well as enjoying community pools and having barbecues in the cul-de-sac.
Some people want to live downtown because they can walk to everything. But keep in mind there are suburbs that also are considered to be very “walkable.” If you’re looking for a house where you don’t have to get in your car every time you want a gallon of milk, then check out Walk Score.
You enter an address or zip code, and it finds the distance to the nearest grocery stores, post offices, restaurants, libraries, movie theaters and other useful destinations, and then assigns a score based on the walkability of your location.
Here are how 4 local areas rank at keeping you near the hustle and bustle:
-
Downtown – 86 out of 100
-
South Side – 80
-
Mt. Lebanon – 63
-
Dormont - 60
Upper St. Clair, I’m sorry to say, scored a 12. Peters Township wasn’t much better with 28. Walk Score is a great tool for anyone looking to find a home in a walkable neighborhood.
