The cheers and chants were just for you.
When the music started and you stepped onto the pretend stage, the imaginary crowd went wild. Make-believe spotlights shined on your fingers, moving quickly as you picked a song on your air guitar—your “specialty”—and you were famous.
In your own head, anyway.

My boyfriend’s father is in love with me!
Category: Entertainment Written by Gwendolyn Baines
(NNPA)—Dear Gwendolyn: I have been dating my boyfriend for five years. Each time I mention getting married, he changes the conversation. I must admit that I am growing tired of his seemingly “no interest” in marrying me.
Last year at his family’s reunion gathering, his father told me that for the past two years he has been in love with me. He said, “I thought by now you would have married my son or the two of you would have broken the relationship.” I was rude with him at first, but now I am having second thoughts.

Category: Entertainment Written by Ashley G. Woodson - Courier Entertainment Writer
This week I visited West Club Lounge at Heinz Field on the North Shore, Club Whim Pittsburgh in Station Square, Kelly’s Bar in East Liberty, the North Side Elks Lounge in the Hill District, Denise and Earl’s Bar in Homewood, CJ’s in the Strip District, The Galaxy Club in Homewood, The Shadow Lounge in East Liberty and Ava Lounge in East Liberty.
My first stop was at the Galaxy Club in Homewood where Denise celebrated her birthday with family and friends. Tracey Lee was on the 1’s and 2’s and had the whole party jumping. I have to shout out Dell Saunders, Artistree and Mrs. Jefferson.
