Leland Point Becomes The Residences of South Hills

The sprawling apartment complex in south Baldwin gets a new moniker as part of its makeover.

Since the powers that be at Apollo Property Management LLC took over the Leland Point Apartments complex in June 2011, much has changed—room enhancements, renovations, a new clubhouse, "a different kind of resident" and more—but until recently, one thing had remained the same. But Leland Point now has a new name, as well. The approximately 1,100-unit complex in south Baldwin Borough is now called The Residences of South Hills, and the Baldwin-Whitehall Patch was there on Friday to take pictures of some new signage, as well as a new clubhouse area that was only in its infancy earlier this year. Read plenty more about Leland Point's transformation here, and scroll through this article's media gallery to see some of the new digs.  --- Follow …

Visions for Vacancies: What Should Happen to Curry Hollow Foodland?

The 28-year shopping center staple is closing.

UPDATE: Groceries are still on sale through Saturday. They're at 75-percent off of their regular prices now, but pickings are very slim. The store will auction off its equipment and appliances at the property itself on Tuesday morning at 9:30. (The Redbox machine has been removed.) With nearby competition, construction and changing clientele, the Curry Hollow Road Foodland will soon be out of business. The grocery store, which has been owned by Kenneth Krall for the past four-and-a-half years and located at the Curry Hollow Shopping Center for the past 28, is selling the remainder of its merchandise at a 40-percent discount until, essentially, the store runs out of stuff (exceptions to discount: milk and tobacco). When the groceries are …

Value City Department Store would be great but they closed down all their stores in the United States and only sell furniture now. I would love to see a TJ Max come to the area. The closest ones are at the Waterfront, Bridgeville and Donaldson Crossroads. I wont' drive into Homestead at night so I have my choice of going to either Donaldson Crossroads or Bridgeville at night to go shopping.   more ›
