Step inside one of the last mansions on Pittsburgh’s Millionaire’s Row

Location: Mansions on Fifth on Fifth Avenue in Shadyside. Featured guests: Marissa Musico, director of event sales at Mansions on Fifth. 1. Marissa explained that this impressive mansion was built for Willis McCook, who was legal counsel to Henry Clay Frick, in the early 1900s. Willis and his wife Mary had 10 children, and they built a grand structure that included a billiards room, lounges for both the men and women and even a personal chapel where they attended Mass every weekend. Before construction was finished, their daughter Bessie got engaged. They built an additional, slightly-more-modest house on the property as her wedding gift.

A Pennsylvania Flea Market Took Over an Old Movie Theater and Now Fills 100,000 Square Feet

A weekend flea market now fills the shell of an old movie theater, and the shopping covers about 100,000 square feet. That’s a lot of room for trinkets, toys, and treasures that used to share space with popcorn. I love the idea of hunting for vintage finds where people...

Proposed 2027 State College Budget Includes Real Estate Tax Increase

State College Borough is poised to raise its property tax for a third consecutive year. The borough's proposed 2027 budget includes a three-mill tax increase, a 12% hike that would bring State College's total millage to 27.88 mills. The tax increase, which is one mill more than that implemented for 2026, is part of a $72.2 million fiscal plan presented on Friday afternoon as Borough Council began its weeks-long budget review. For a home with a present-day market value of $300,000 and no homestead exclusion, the increase would equal $147.54 for the year, while with the exclusion it would be $72.54. For a property with a $500,000 market without the homestead exclusion it would mean an additional $245.90, or $170.90 with the homestead exclusion. The increase would generate $1,821,063 in new recurring revenue for a borough budget that remains structurally unbalanced for the seventh consecutive year. The total proposed budget includes $72,249,482 in expenditures — which is only $12,742 more than the approved 2026 budget — with revenue of $62,357,539, about $1.8 million more than 2026. It uses $9,891,943 of fund balances, as is typical. Within the overall budget, the general fund budget, which more directly represents current expenses and

Goat, rabbit, and lamb sit right alongside chicken wings at one old butcher counter. Some shoppers drive hours just for the small turkey wings. The shop opened in 1929.
