What small businesses do you want to see move into Dormont, Brookline or Beechview?
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.

If a "Gobbler Burrito" sounds good the day after your Thanksgiving feast, this breakfast event is for you.
If you’re still hungry after your Thanksgiving feast, Mexi Casa is bringing back a Black Friday event that should fill you up. The West Liberty Avenue restaurant will hold Kegs and Eggs from 8 a.m. to noon Nov. 23, and owner Theo Giannoutsos is hoping to duplicate last year’s success and good times. “We’ve been very successful doing it on St. Patrick’s Day, so last year we decided to try it on Black Friday, too,” Giannoutsos said. “Last year we opened at 8 a.m. and the place was packed by 8:30 a.m.” Also, on Black Friday only, Mexi Casa will serve the “Gobbler Burrito,” which Giannoutsos described as “Thanksgiving dinner in a burrito.” Follow Dormont-Brookline Patch on Facebook and Twitter.
