me starting next week june the fifth grand opening at the hollywood theater on potomac avenue if you have a chance to go that hollywood cedar potomac avenue pittsburgh and then you can get some free tickets to go see this documentary about mr rogers and all the work that he did and then i think it's going from there into some local theaters but it's not the blockbuster that they've got planned with tom hanks playing the role  mr rogers and that could be i think next year and so will look forward to that but tuesday june the fifth at the hollywood theater documentary about mr rogers and if you fact if you take a cardigan sweater if you wear one you get in free and or go to the web site i think that's free tickets there also in fact i don't think they're going to turn you away they just like to see a good showing if you have been to the hollywood theater before also potomac gabbin a very historic built back in the twenty's art deco style it's been lots of remodels that throughout the years and i think some new owners just within this past year have purchased that cinema just one screen not the multi screen just one and  but the balcony just a beautiful beautiful theater to be a part of so you get a chance swing by there and experience that wonderful world of mr rogers starting on june the fifth tuesday night i'm from the village of any if you haven't been where they am and the southernmost part of peter's township and the fact it's one of the foundations of peter's township  not far from from where i live right there in the village is the right house the right house goes back to seven hundred sixty two the wright brothers joseph and jacob came up from stan virginia area and built a long cabin there so again this is before the american revolution and there's a facsimile of the cabin that they built in seven hundred seventy four there right behind the right house that was built two hundred one years  ago right in front when the family grew from the log cabin into the bigger home built a home in front that is the authentic original home there and that's peter's creek historical society google that and you can find out more and more about the right house there but that's you know where the village of venetia kind of began back in seventy nine hundred sixty two when we were just you know wandering through cornfields and things at that time you know one of the things that those early settlers the wright brothers when they came up for ginia coal the coal in this region were so close to the ground that when lightning would strike the ground the ground ignite and it became just it was kind of a miracle to the early folks thinking why is this ground burning the way it was and they found so much coal so close to the surface and so that was one of the prime indicators for building a little community there in the village of any sh again the definition of a colonial village from colonial times is you have to have a school there and we have a retired school there called within each a community center a church right united methodist church for right there you have to have a restaurant or supply store we have the country store right there and and a place where we're folks will gather together so we've got all the places there right there in the village  memorial park is and if you've never seen that i mean it's right across the street from the starbucks there you see that memorial there that's where kind of the parade ends and there's some festivities there some speeches being made and and just  national anthem twenty one gun salute so it's just part of you know what makes america so wonderful and and that began our summer time in the village of a nation we want to thank the girl scouts all scouts  and girl scouts and boy scouts for being a part of that parade i think if they hadn't marched in it we would have quite i think they were the maybe the largest group that marched in the parade both girl scouts and boy scouts and and we're so glad to have both of both scouting troops organizations in the village of anita this past year we've had two eagle scout projects done in the village one is a free library if you go to the then you have some books that you want other folks to read just put them right in there and in but it's really a great addition we've got some new benches there too provided by this eagle scout that was one of the projects and the other boy scout scouts their promise on my honor i will try to serve god and my country to help people at all times and to live by the girl scout law doesn't everyone want to have those kind of foundations in in their very character  what's the girl scout law let me give that to you i'll do my best to be honest and fair friendly and helpful considerate and caring courageous and strong responsible for what i say and do and to respect myself and others respect authority use resources wisely make the world a better place and be a sister to every girl's got that's incredible moral laws to live by maybe we need more of that in in our country of today and  years old just so cool to be a part of an organization like that they were marching in the memorial day parade right around the corner from the s w post seven sixty four is  a rotary square and if you haven't been there yet it's it's just a neat neat part again a great organization to be a part of that has four major components to their oath a what we need to hear more about in our moral fiber of today for weight test for rotarian is it true is what you're saying is that the truth second thing is it fair to all concerned what you do every day is it fair to all concerned will it build goodwill and better friendships and what you're saying any time you go to speak think and do will be beneficial to all concerned rotary square is is right there right beside the if there be a post seven sixty four the  believe but yeah that's again just great things to do to build a great foundation for citizenship in america give you some of the things that are coming down the we kick off our summer together every wednesday in june and july we have free concerts this is the fifth year that we've
