Police said the first day for the detour went just as authorities imagined.
The area of Route 65 and the Sewickley Bridge experienced more congestion on Monday than usual, but nothing beyond what police expected. “Traffic increased like we imagined,” said Sewickley Police Chief James Ersher. Ersher said there were no major incidents to report on Monday, the first day of the long-term closure of the Ambridge-Aliquippa Bridge. PennDOT expects the bridge to remain closed through November as crews work to complete repairs. Signage posted along Route 65 notifies travelers that the Sewickley Bridge is the designated detour. Ersher said police will be stationed at the bridge during peak hours until the end of the week. After that, he suggests that motorists plan accordingly. "If people have major issues, they're going to…

The Beaver Grade Road restaurant goes out of business at the end of the week.
Hoss’s Steak and Sea House in Moon Township will close its doors on Sunday after 22 years in business. Assistant manager Michael Hertzer Jr. said the Beaver Grade Road location will close at 9 p.m. Jan. 20. The restaurant will operate at normal hours for the remainder of this week.

Hertzer said 40 employees at the Moon Township location will be laid off with the closure, but the …

A final "Flight Night" is planned for Wednesday, June 27.
After three and a half years in the Sewickley village, The Naked Grape Enoteca will close its doors at the end of the month. Owner Ryta Mirisciotti-Jungling said the last official day is June 30. The Enoteca will be open to the public until then and only open to host a few private events in July to which they are committed. “We’re sad to leave, I have to say,” she told Patch, adding that they aren't planning to go far. Ryta and her husband David Jungling plan to take the Tuscan-style escape to the virtual world once the physical location at 515 Broad St. is closed. “We will maintain our website,” Ryta Mirisciotti-Jungling said. In fact, they plan to continue operating, as most importers do, by pursuing sales to restaurants, providing wine …

The owner of Pink & Blue, a children's clothing and accessories store, plans to close by the end of the month.
Kelsey Rhea spent the past year operating Pink & Blue in Sewickley. The owner said Thursday that the children's clothing boutique at the corner of Beaver and Broad streets is now slated to close. The boutique is currently offering a sale on all merchandise in the store. Rhea said purchases of $50 or more will receive an additional 30 percent off. Rhea said going from a stay-at-home mom to a full-time business owner has been tough. Now that she's coming up on a year, she felt now was the right time. She plans to close by the end of the month. Rhea, a Sewickley resident, said she's planning to work elsewhere part-time and, most importantly, spend more time with her daughter. Keeping up with news in the Sewickley Patch is easy—simply sign …

Practically everything is on sale at 436 Beaver St., Sewickley, where owners say March 24 will be the last official day.
After nearly 40 years in the community, Cheers Gifts, Antiques and Interiors will close when the owners officially retire in March. Tom and Jeanne DeFazio said they had been talking for awhile about closing the store at 436 Beaver St. and came close to it last fall, but the DeFazios said they believed the town needed as much business as possible and decided to stick around. “Now is the right time for us,” the store owners said. “The town is looking great with many new shops and restaurants, and it’s time for us to relax, maybe travel a little and enjoy our grandson, Evan, plus by this summer, he will be a 'big brother' when his mother delivers our second grandchild.” Jeanne DeFazio has undergone treatment for amyloidosis, a rare disease. …
