  •   Grocery tops Hill group's wish list for Penguins Arena area
    16 Sep 2007

    Topping the list of requests is a "full-service grocery store," a state-of-the-art YMCA akin to the Homewood-Brushton Program Center, a guarantee that Hill District residents will have first crack at arena jobs and a "Livable Hill Community Improvement Fund" of an unspecified size.
