With Small Business Saturday just a few days away, we posed this question on the Dormont-Brookline Patch Facebook page: If you could open any small business in town, what would it be and why?
Readers had some great answers.
One reader said that if start-up money was available, she'd open a quilting store. Another reader suggested a yarn store. There were also ideas for music and record stores, candy shops, more thrift or consignment shops, and more stores offering specialty foods, such as gluten-free products.
One reader suggested Pittsburgh Popcorn and—countering how delicious that would be—another suggested a fitness center with a smoothie bar, where various nutrition and health classes could be offered.
Dormont-Brookline Patch also is keeping a running list of local small businesses that have Facebook pages. Click here to check it out.
If you could open any small business in Dormont, Brookline or Beechview, what would it be?

I would love to see a non smoking bar, with decent food that doesn't bring in horrible djs that play nothing but a mix of creed and 90s R&B.
Also, pasties are delicious. Here's a recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pasties-ii/
