A band of local “good guys” will headline the Dormont Street Fair this year. The Good Guys Band is Joe Morrone and his son Mike, Jim Hedge and Ed Palma—all Dormont natives and Keystone Oaks graduates, and all happy to be performing at one of their hometown’s favorite festivals. “It’s very surreal for us,” Hedge said. “We played back when we were younger, but I think the only time we played in Dormont was for the Fourth of July at the pavilion in Dormont Park when we were in high school.” Hedge still lives in Dormont, but Palma now lives in the North Hills and Morrone lives in Baldwin. The Good Guys Duo, an offshoot of the band that features Hedge and Morrone, performed at the Taste of Dormont on Sept. 15. Palma, Morrone and Hedge are …

The Dormont pizza shop is quickly becoming known for another product—hand-made chocolate.
Every booth at Saturday's Taste of Dormont presented the foods and wines that highlighted the annual event, but one local vendor was drawing a crowd with a new sweet treat. Giovanni's Pizza and Pasta began making and selling chocolate this summer, and the pizza shop's Taste of Dormont tables were lined with colorful varieties of chocolate-coated treats. It's a new venture for the shop that has mainly sold pizza and sandwiches since it opened six years ago. But owner Fethi Turan said making chocolate was something he wanted to try. "One day I woke up and just decided to make chocolate," Turan said. "That's really how it happened. I said to myself, 'I feel like this is something I want to try.'" He is a self-taught chocolatier, and said he …
