Behind The Scenes at Pittsburgh City Theater

If you are like me, then you are one of those people that really like to know how things work behind the scenes. I spent a few years after collage working for a company that sold industrial equipment, industrial dairy processing equipment (but that is a story for another time).  I loved spending time in these factories seeing how cheese is made and packages and shipped.

This Friday, you can go behind the scenes of the Pittsburgh City Theater at their open house.  See the theater and taste some food from local south side restaurants.

Soulful Dance Party

The award winning, well I don’t know if it has actually won any awards, but it should win many awards, dance party Soucialism is back.  After a hiatus the founders of this late night party are passing the torch to a new set of DJs who will continue to fill the White Eagle with soul music for your listening and dancing pleasure.  Lace up your dancing shoes and head on down to the South Side and dance until you can’t dance no more.  If you have been looking for some place to dance to music that is not top 40 then this is an event for you.

Details:
Soucialism = Dance Party @ White Eagle, corner of 11th and Freyburgh, SouthSide
Friday, August 10, 10pm
Free, no membership required, bar is cash only

PITA PIT…fresh and frugal

Pita Pit in the South Side Works has been open for a month or so now and is one of the best new additions to Pgh. I have been wishing one would open here for quite some time. The food is fresh, pretty healthy, and cheap. The only problem with the Pita Pit is that there isn’t one closer to my office. If you are interested in franchising, visit www.pitapit.com.
