Anyone who wanted to know the history of Skidgy's Family Restaurant's quirky name could go into the Mt. Lebanon diner and check out the menus.
Now the menus are gone and so is Skidgy's. The Jones family recently sold the Cochran Road property to Northwest Savings Bank and auctioned everything inside. The bank is planning to move its nearby branch office there, add a drive-through window and expand facilities for an April opening, said Robert Ordiway, the executive vice president of marketing and facilities.

Is it me or is the stretch of Cochran between Cedar and Bower Hill one of the most underutilized in terms of retail/commercial space on a road with heavy traffic volume?
What did Skidgy's in for me was the fact that the place smelled like a used ashtray. Second hand smoke is a known carcinogen yet the staff would tell me that I had to sit with my kids next to smokers. So, I either did takeout or simply did not return. And once Pamela's opened up Skidgy's fate was sealed. Mediocre food, decor that hadn't been touched in two decades, and cigarette smoke...well the writing was on the wall.
