Welcome!

I thought it’d be likely that new people will be visiting this site since today’s North section mentioned us, so I think it’s time for an update.

Welcome to EnjoyBellevue.com! If you scroll down, you’ll see previous posts–stories about local businesses and events that we’ve had. The purpose of this site is to provide information to merchants and citizens, both visiting and local. It’s published by a couple volunteer merchants thus far, and we hope to attract more contributors as time goes by. Our goal is to promote our fair town, and entice new customers and new businesses, as well as informing the current ones. We try to update fairly regularly, so please keep checking back often to see what’s new.

The tabs across the top include the Bellevue Farmer’s Market (our latest addition to town), Events, Directory, About, and Contact. Soon there will also be a tab about Alcohol in town, in which we hope to set up a forum so town members can discuss the pros and cons of allowing liquor licenses in Bellevue. For now, please browse through the tabs to see what we’ve got going on so far, and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave a comment on this post, or see the Contact tab for more options.

Bellevue Local movie tie

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 8/28/08

Look hard enough and you can usually find a Pittsburgh connection to almost anything..

Paul McGill, a 2006 graduate of Northgate High School and a former Bellevue resident, plays the young Philippe Petit in some of the flashbacks in “Man on Wire,” the story of the Frenchman who walked across a cable strung between the World Trade Center towers in 1974.

Paul, son of Paul and Shari McGill of Bellevue, just finished a two-year run as Mark in the Broadway revival of “A Chorus Line.” Only 21, he’s been performing on Broadway since age 17 and will appear in the remake of the 1980 musical “Fame.”

McGill trained at Rosalene Kenneth Professional Dance Studio from ages 3 to 12 and with Pittsburgh Musical Theater from age 10 until his departure for Broadway. His educational path was unconventional, to say the least, but all roads seem to lead to New York or, soon, Los Angeles.
