PUBLISHER'S PAGE - Monroeville…Next to Everything

Recently I visited a newly opened restaurant in Station Square. I was pitching the advertising director, and while there, I heard a soundtrack that included Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Mel Torme, and Ella Fitzgerald, to name a few.

But alas and alack, the buyer has not yet committed to advertise in Point, so good luck in trying to find this fine restaurant.

• The auto show was here last month in Pittsburgh. Now we may complain about gasoline being $2.19 a gallon, but in Europe it’s $5.00 a gallon. Think of it, $100.00 to fill up a 20-gallon tank. Now in Iraq I hear gasoline is 5¢ a gallon. Maybe you’d like to move there. Just goes to show, things may not be as bad as they seem.
• Best I’ve heard in a while comes from Dick Cavett. He speaks of all the restaurants in New York City, in the Village—Italian- Greek, Chinese-German, all the different combinations. He thought, Chinese-German, what would that be like? He tried the Chinese-German and found it to be really good. The only problem was an hour later, he was hungry for power.
• The month is March which brings the beginning of Spring. Easter comes early this year on March 27th. Before that though, comes St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th. Everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.
