This week I visited the new hot spot called FATE in the Strip District, The August Wilson Center in Downtown Pittsburgh, St. Lawrence O’Toole in Garfield, Kelly’s in East Liberty and the Red Onion in the Hill District.

My first stop was at the St. Lawrence O’ Toole where John “Ringo” Saunders celebrated 16 years clean and sober and there was a big celebration in his honor. Congratulations to you and keep up the great work.
