There is one in the South Hills that I have seen (Blue?), Tom's and I saw one the Saturday after I picked mine up near Millvale, crossing the bridge to Lawrenceville.

You are right Wahi, I am happy just to see another one!

Took a drive yesterday with my Sweetie in the Smart. Ended up in the Oakhurst Tea Room for dinner and then a pleasant drive back on Rt 31. Bought fuel in (on the way up) Donegal and so my mileage for Week # 2 was 38.57 mpg...and I continue to grin...

Where is a good place for lunch in Shadyside, PG? If you like Middle Eastern food, Salim's on Center Ave is a little hole-in-the-wall that has great falafel...

John,

Salem's my fav!! I eat there all the time (I'm in town). The greatest lamb curry and basmati..!

My absolute favorite spot in Shadyside is:

Girasole Restaurant

733 Copeland St
Pittsburgh, PA 15232
412-682-2130

It is famous for the spinach ravioli's in the tomato cream sauce. The yummiest I have ever had. It is a little pricey at $9.95 but worth every penny. The salad that comes along with this selection is a meal in itself. The homemade dressing is awesome.

I try to get there at least once a month.

I love to eat out and this is a top lunch place for me outside of the fast food realm.

Give it a try and let me know your thoughts.

Filled up my S10 truck today at 23 mpg for $45.00. This will get me thru the week. Come on SMART, give me a call b4 I go broke

I can't believe it. Went back to Shadyside today on my lunch AGAIN and saw a Black Passion. It had a batman license plate on the front. I beeped and gave the driver (man) a thumbs up.

Can't wait to show mine off in Shadyside. Must be the hot spot.

I am stuck on Salim's falafel sandwiches and their chicken and rice platter. Sounds like I need to expand my horizons!

Thanks for the tip, PG. My Sweetie and I may have to head on out there in the Smart and add yellow to the Shadyside color palate...

...meanwhile, back at the gas pumps, 41.05 mpg on 232 miles with about 80 cruising the Laurel Highlands and the rest commuting...

Took my daughter down to the Pittsburgh dealship yesterday. I had talked to Monaca on the phone several times and wanted to make an in person contact. There was a balck/silver one in the show room my daughter loves. I have a blue one on order (latest delivery estimate November !!) but we agreed if we could get a black one we'd get the silver painted gold and it would be awesome !! Keep waitn' and hopin' !!

terryteets,

Great idead to paint it gold.

I am getting a white passion with black. I am having the Pittsburgh Steelers logo above the back left wheel and the Pittsburgh Penguins above the back right wheel. This will be my BURG BUGGY

Girlee,

Got a delivery date for your "Burg Buggy" ?? I can't wait ! Like the Disney commercial, "I'm too excited to sleep" !! Go Bucs !
