This mall is made for shopping

Weren’t you disappointed when you heard about the fight in Monroeville Mall? That is the mall I grew up in and I still consider it my mall of choice. I spent many a day there after school and on weekends, working not shopping.

Not long ago the mall went through some renovations, escalators have replaced stairs at the end near the former Boscov’s, seating areas have been added and the mall feels alive. A new area has been added to the front of the mall called the district that includes The Monterey Bay Fish Grotto, Carino’s Italian Restaurant, Ulta and Barnes and Noble. I just can’t imagine someone going to the mall with the intentions of “getting someone straight.”

TRY an evening in Paris

It was only a matter of time before Three Rivers Youth (TRY) President and CEO Peggy Harris brought Paris to Pittsburgh. Harris spent a year studying at the Sorbonne in her junior year of college, she took her daughter there as a college graduation present and has frequently paid visits to the city of lights.

ENJOYING AN EVENING IN PARIS—Jay Ferguson, Ranny Ferguson (130th Anniversary chairs), Claudette Lewis (TRY board chair) and Peggy Harris (TRY president and CEO).

On April 29 at the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens several hundred passengers arrived in the early evening to collect their boarding passes and board “TRY Air” to Paris to celebrate 130 years of TRY giving light to the future of our youth. The flight crew looked surprisingly familiar, much like Vince Sims, reporter and anchor for WPXI, George Miles, president and CEO of WQED Multimedia and Danielle Nottingham, weekend morning anchor for Channel 11 News.

Black designers passed over on ‘Project Runway’

Black may be the most ubiquitous color in fashion, but not when it comes to who wins “Project Runway.” After seven seasons, the award-winning reality TV series has yet to produce a Black winner.

The popular Lifetime program helps launch the careers of emerging American fashion designers. Through a series of weekly design challenges and eliminations, contestants vie to become one of three finalists who show a collection at New York Fashion Week. The coveted prizes for the winner include a five-figure check to create a new collection, a photo spread in Marie Claire women’s magazine, and priceless publicity.
