Does anyone know anyone at the Jewish Community Center in Squirrel
Hill?  Every time I've been there, I've been very impressed by how nice
it is.

I do not know what the costs are, but then I do not know what the cash
flow is like for wplug, so I'd be speculating on either of them.

I think the houses of worship are a great idea.  There are a number of
churches in the area that fit the bill.

I'm leaving the Burgh for the weekend, but hopefully when I get back
I'll ask around to see what the church situation is like (my guess, they
are well booked or out of our range, but its worth a shot.)

How about that ex-brewery on the South Side?  I can not remember what
its called.

I've got a few more ideas, but I've got to go make dinner.
