On any given day Route 65 near Sewickley is busy, but travel just a few blocks to the village of Sewickley and it’s a different story. Many of the stores lining the streets are vacant, but Sewickley isn’t alone.
In the Mount Lebanon, 9 percent of the stores are vacant. After losing some long-standing stores and not being able to find renters for other properties, area leaders are taking it to the people.
Mt. Lebanon commercial district manager, Eric Milliron said, "We're really pushing a shop-local campaign. We're really trying to get people to understand that for every dollar they spend here in Mt. Lebanon, almost 45 percent of that dollar stays in our local economy."

I noticed that the Art Gallery on the corner of Alfred in Washington (underneath L'Enfant Elegant) is now going to be a a natural food store. Their sign indicates that they are opening soon.
Hopefully, more stores will choose to move into Mt. Lebanon.
hmmm... 45% stays in local economy? Are they sure that math is right?

Rich, Did you count the dollars from the parking tickets on Washington Road?
Planet Art had trouble with people walking out of their store because their parking meter was about to expire.
