The May 5 meeting will take place in the Community and Recreation Center.
The rescheduled planning commission meeting on May 5 at 7:30 p.m. will take place at the new Community and Recreation Center at Boyce Mayview Park. Attendees will gather in community rooms A, B and C. The April 21 meeting was postponed and rescheduled due to the large number of residents that attended the meeting. More than 100 people were spilling out of the municipal building's meeting room, which only holds 50 seats.

Wondering what that big 'Shame on Best Buy' banner means? Local union members are protesting Best Buy's use of out-of-state and out-of-country contractors.
If you drove by Best Buy, Giant Eagle Market District or Bally's on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings, there is a good chance you saw the large banner that read 'Shame on Best Buy.' And if you walked into the Best Buy, you may have been handed a flier asking you not to patronize the store. Members of the Greater Pennsylvania Regional Council of Carpenters said they are staging the peaceful protest outside of the South Hills Best Buy and other stores across Pennsylvania, because Best Buy employs out-of-state and out-of-country contractors for their construction work. "They want Pennsylvania shoppers, but they won't hire Pennsylvania workers," John McCoy, a council representative, said. On Wednesday, four unemployed carpenters looking for work …
