Tomorrow, Saturday, Sewickley will be offering up all things I love in Pittsburgh.  An art show and farmers market, as well as a separate flea market/children’s festival.

The Sewickley Farm Show Art Exhibit Opening Reception will take place tomorrow from 10am - 5pm at the Sewickley Gallery and Frame Shop, 549 Beaver Street.

Ten local artists were assigned to ten local farms

to create new work inspired by the landscape, the families and the food of our farming community.  And stroll down to St. James Parish Farmers Market on September 6th for local food sampling and plenty of fall familiy activities.  

Also going on is Day on the Lawn: A Day for Missions, Family Festival and Sale at the Sewickley Presbyterian Church, 414 Grant Street, Sewickley, PA 15143

Image by drewesque via Flickr It is the start of football season and that means Steelers fans will gather together around the world. Where do you go to watch the Steeler Games?  What bar has the best tvs?  What bar has the best crowd?

Please share your favorite Steelers bars -in Pittsburgh or beyond - I know there is a group of people that gather in a bar just outside of Jacksonville, FL and I am counting on Friend of IheartPGH who lives in Honolulu to send pictures of the Hawaiian Steelers Bar.  I will add them all to this newly created Official Looking Steeler Bar Map.

Here are some links/articles/blog posts that are worth a look:

• Designer Days: NCJW, - Each year the Pittsburgh chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women holds a massive clothing sale of new and used clothing at the Expo Mart. I have gottned some great things here in the past. If you are a clothing shopper this is worth a stop. The 2008 sale is on October 18 and 19.
• Flavorville Cafe - this is the BEST place for lunch in Pittsburgh. Mike fed me lunch almost daily for a year. Mike is awesome and this place is tasty and affordable. I can't believe I haven't blogged about them yet. I will have to make a visit there and write more about Flavorville.
• pairIncubator - World-Class Web Technology Incubator - this looks really cool - the folks behind pair networks are looking for a few good businesses to incubate. deadline is Jane 2, 2009.

WYEP is one of the biggest lovers of Pittsburgh. This is a radio station that has been a labor of love by some amazing Pittsburgh music lovers for many year. I am actually sitting in Oh Yeah listening to WYEP as I type this. This radio station is most definitely a cause that is worthy of your dollars and this is a great event. I attended Rock the Block in 2006 and had a great time.

$35 gets you food, drink, and an outdoor concert from Cracker and Pittsburgh’s own Donora.

WYEP Rock the Block - Saturday, September 6, 2008 8pm-Midnight

Some of my favorite food establishments will be providing the food - big Burrito Restaurant Group, East-End Food Co-Op, Enrico’s Tazza D’Oro, Harris Grill, Point Brugge Cafe.
