Fridays Rock!



TGIF!

Join me for the FRIDAY FLASHBACK every Friday starting at 5:00 pm for the best of the 70's and 80's!  Plus, we'll interview some of your favorite artists to get the story behind some of your favorite songs!

This Friday, September 5th, join us for an interview with one of the founding members of the DOOBIE BROTHERS, John Hartman.
He has an interesting story about fast food and the recording of "Listen to the Music."

THE GUYS FROM THE OLD "Da Bears" SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE SKIT WOULD LOVE THIS NEWS -when they're visiting PITTSBURGH.

Coming soon to the Pittsburgh area...Mike Ditka.  He's bringing his namesake restaurant to his native Western PA.
Officials at Pittsburgh-based Restaurant Holdings say a restaurant in Robinson Township is being renovated into a MIKE DITKA'S STEAKHOUSE.  There are already two in Chicago.  The new one is scheduled to open in Mid-October.
Mike Ditka is a native of Carnegie, attended school in Aliquippa and played football for the University of Pittsburgh.

Let me know if you take a road trip to the Pittsburgh area and check out this restaurant.  Email me pix too!
Lebanon Bologna...A Dirty Job?

SELTZER'S LEBANON BOLOGNA...yummy!  But is it a "Dirty Job?"
The folks from the Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs" think so. 
Mike Rowe and the crew were in Palmyra and Lebanon last month to film a segment.
No word yet on when it will air, probably sometime next year.
Watch your listings and THIS SPACE for more information!

WHAT A NICE WEEKEND FOR KAYAKING!
I went out in the Susquehanna River kayaking on Sunday.  A spectacular day!
We got to see an American Bald Eagle, too.  Actually, I see one just about every time I go out...they seem to favor an area called New Buffalo in Perry County.
It's wonderful to see them after they were almost extinct.

DID YOU HAVE A GREAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND?
Did you get a chance to check out Kipona?  We have pictures of the Festival on our "Picture Page."
