You can catch video from the event here.
The Whitehall Church along East Willock Road played host on Nov. 15 to an annual Thanksgiving celebration, and the event's organizers—South Hills Interfaith Ministries (SHIM)—captured video from the event. (See video above.) Originally organized in 2006 to celebrate both Thanksgiving and the announcement that SHIM was opening the Prospect Park Family Center in Whitehall Borough early the next year, the event has grown by leaps and bounds. Dinner at the event features meals prepared by families serviced by SHIM, as well as SHIM employees. The choices range from American Thanksgiving staples, such as turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, to items more typical of some SHIM families' native countries. According to its website, SHIM's …

Read here for the latest update.
The project detailed below is complete, and the intersection has reopened. ... A very busy portion of Streets Run Road—from Route 51 on the border of Baldwin and Whitehall boroughs to Delwar Road in West Mifflin Borough—will see a lengthy thru-traffic closure in both directions from Monday-Wednesday, Nov. 5-7, as crews will work to replace the road surface at a nearby railroad crossing. Specifically, the at-grade rail crossing is found near Baldwin's four-way intersection of Streets Run, East Willock and Doyle roads (between East Willock and Missionary Drive), and work there is expected to last from 9 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 5, until approximately 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov 7. According to a press release from the Pennsylvania Department of …

As of 4 p.m., the normal trouble spots are untroubled. There is a short delay on East Willock Road, however.
A day after the Pittsburgh area received the worst part of its share of Hurricane Sandy, the oft-flooded roads in and around Baldwin-Whitehall are clear in time for Tuesday's evening rush hour. I drove around some of these troubled spots—Streets Run, Glass Run, Becks Run, McNeilly and East Willock roads—and the Route 51-Route 88 intersection, from 3 to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, and all are very navigable, according at least to this writer. There is some standing water, of course, on Streets Run Road, especially near Chapon's Greenhouses, but the road is not closed and is safe to use (in my opinion). There is a short delay in the 5000 block of East Willock Road in Baldwin Borough, as workers are repairing a busted a water line. Check back with the…

Nothing is closed as of 8 p.m., but avoid standing water.
UPDATE (8:50 p.m., Monday): County Executive Rich Fitzgerald's office is reporting that Streets Run Road has flooded near Chapon's Greenhouses. Some of the roads in Baldwin-Whitehall typically closed due to flooding—Streets Run, Glass Run, Becks Run, McNeilly and East Willock—and the Route 51-Route 88 intersection, are all open and functioning fine as of 8 p.m. on Monday, according at least to this writer. Make no mistake; the roads are wet, and in some cases, have standing water on them. But they are very navigable, and the waterways running alongside them are raging. Yet, they are not overflowing. Please use caution, as this article is merely my own opinion. But from around 6:30 to 8, I drove around the aforementioned areas with no …

The plants were located between East Willock and Doyle roads.
Acting on an anonymous tip, Whitehall Borough police officers discovered marijuana seedlings in a large wooded area in the rear of the 4900 block of East Willock Road at around 7:51 a.m. on Wednesday. Whitehall police Chief Donald R. Dolfi said that the plants—one of which stretched to about 2 feet tall—appeared to be there for cultivation and use. Municipal workers from Whitehall removed the plants—about 10 of them—and destroyed them, Dolfi said. Officers talked to people in the vicinity of the discovery, which stretches from East Willock to Doyle Road, but have not able to determine who planted the controlled substance. The incident is under investigation. Read through other Whitehall police items here. --- Follow the Baldwin-Whitehall …

It is great to see humanity to these refugees. But we also have millions of Americans that can't feed their families, pay their bills, have places to live because there isn't any jobs. We need to take care of American Citizens who though no fault of their own lost jobs and are homeless. more ›
