Whether they are in the city or country, there are places near home where you can find fresh produce—or get seedlings to grow your own.
To every thing there is a season—and we are in the season of planting. Despite the frost warnings this week, May is the time when many plants take root. And not far behind are the early harvests. There are a number of local farms that provide a variety of seedlings and sprouts, produce, and other products as the growing season progresses. Some are out in the country, while others are urban farms. (Check out the video in this article's media gallery of Garden Dreams Urban Farm & Nursery in Wilkinsburg.) According to the LocalHarvest.org website, most produce in the United States is picked 4-7 days before being placed on supermarket shelves and is shipped for an average of 1,500 miles before being sold. Fortunately for Baldwin-Whitehall …

Children's South has outgrown its Bethel Park space.
Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC officials celebrated their newest location with a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday morning. "Children's South" is set to relocate from its current location in Bethel Park to South Fayette Township in October 2014. Christopher Gessner, president of Children's Hospital, said that the hospital has outgrown its Bethel Park facility and that he's excited about the visibility and accessibility of the new South Fayette location, which is near the Bridgeville exit of Interstate 79 at 100 Hickory Grade Rd. Currently, there is a vacant movie theater sitting on the property. Ryan Eggleston, South Fayette manager, said that it's still not known if the building will be demolished or renovated. The new …

The local commissioners played wait-and-see with property assessments appeals.
Though some property owners won't be able to tell, the real estate property tax, or millage, rate actually dropped almost 2 full points in Baldwin Township from 2012 to 2013. The township's board of commissioners has decided on a rate of 7.80 mills for this year, down from 9.50 the previous year. However, due to a recent countywide real estate reassessment that raised the value of most Baldwin properties, many property owners in the township will still see an increase in the amount of tax dollars that they'll be responsible for this year. Leaders of most other Allegheny County municipalities set their 2013 millage rates months ago, but Baldwin Township officials were waiting to see how many Baldwin property owners were successful or even …
