Sometimes the story that is too good to be true is true. Have you heard about Megabus.com?

Maybe you’ve seen it ride by with the big sign that says $1. Yes, you can actually go somewhere fun for $1.

The bus goes to New York, Philadelphia, Harrisburg and State College. All seats are not $1. Your price is determined by the time you make your reservation. I was fortunate to get a seat for $10 each way to the Big Apple.

I won’t have to worry about driving, gas, tolls or parking. The stop in New York is right at Penn Station. The bus is a double- decker and it looks comfortable. You can only bring one standard size suitcase (it cannot weigh more than 50 pounds) to stow under the bus and one small carry­on (I would think like a large purse).

JULY 28—New Zion Baptist Church, 1434 Juniata St., North Side, will host a Vacation Bible School from 6-8 p.m. The school will run through July 30. All are welcome to come and fellowship and be blessed. For more information, call 412-322-3838.

Birthday’s are for celebrating and on June 4 at the August Wilson Center all the beautiful people came out to celebrate the birthday of Demeatria Gibson Boccella.

The creator of Fashion Africana knows how to throw a fashion show and a party. Guests mixed and mingled above Liberty Avenue in Pittsburgh’s Cultural District and listened to the music of some of Pittsburgh’s premier musicians.

LET’S BLOW OUT THESE CANDLES—Demeatria with daughter, Adia Boccella, right, and niece.

Alton Merrill, Sean Jones and Roger Humphries were on board with perfect party music. After a slight roasting of the lovely and beautiful “Mechy” (Demeatria), the guest of honor paid tribute to some of the special people in her life with lush bouquets of flowers.
