Fall 2011
The Synergy Fitness & Spa
recently located to 604 Washington Ave., Bridgeville, across from
Labella Bean. The spa offers hand and foot treatments; numerous
facial treatments; massage therapy; and personal fitness training.
Additionally, the spa offers Synergy Boot Camp! As their website

motivation? Synergy Boot Camp is for you!" Boot Camp is a 6 week
program. Each participant meets individually with a certified
personal trainer to assess things like body fat, cardiovascular
endurance, and more as well as to identify personal and suggested
goals.

Second
Quarter 2011
The Bridgeville
Business District Advisory Committee has chosen The Bridgeville
Historical Society as its 2nd Quarter
Downtown Recognition recipient for 2011. This quarterly downtown
recognition is an opportunity for the committee to recognize notable
individuals, businesses, or groups who have contributed to our
community's downtown efforts in some positive way.
The
Bridgeville Historical Society moved into its new home on April 16,
2011 at 441 Station Street the former home of the Bridgeville
Library, and was originally the train station. The facility is being
renamed the Kathleen Banks Building. Having the space has allowed
the society to display more items and to better tell the story of
Bridgeville's history. Additionally, there is sufficient room for
people to do research on the many historical articles that are
available which have recently been digitized.
Many thanks
must go to the Rotary Club and the Boys Scouts along with historical
society volunteers for the remodeling of the interior. Of special
note the caboose, clock and flagpole will remain as permanent
displays, it is great to have such a historical building and setting
as the new home for the Historical Society.
First Quarter
2011
The Bridgeville
Business District Advisory Committee has chosen
Attorney Nicholas P. Brenlove
as its 1st Quarter Downtown Recognition recipient for
2011. Mr. Brenlove is very interested in revitalization projects and
this is the second time he is being recognized for his contributions
to this effort. In July 2010, he purchased a vacant building at
606 Washington Avenue in need of
refurbishing. The
building was updated with new windows, bricks and the first floor
gutted and renovated. Jenlor Integrations is currently leasing the
entire first floor for its computer services firm. Upstairs are two
new offices available for leasing.
Last year, the BDAC
recognized Mr. Brenlove’s renovation of the old bank building at 457 Washington Avenue
and also the new building that he built for his law practice a few
years ago at the corner of
Washington Avenue
and Bower Hill Road.
The Bridgeville
BDAC thanks Attorney Brenlove, once again, for his vision and
dedication to our downtown initiatives. Thanks to his contributions, Washington Avenue
is enjoying an updated look.
Fourth
Quarter 2010
The Bridgeville Business District Advisory Committee (BDAC) has
chosen Tony Moses and his
family as their 4th Quarter Downtown Recognition
recipient for 2010. The Moses'
are the owners of Shouf’s Coffee * Café which was established
in June 2006 at 200 Washington Avenue.
Known for its Lebanese specialties and great weekend breakfast, they
offer raw kibbee every Saturday evening at 5 PM.
It sells very quickly, so be sure to come early.
We
congratulate the Moses family on their successful business and thank
them for bringing their building to life as well as bringing another
good restaurant to our area!
Third Quarter
2010
The Bridgeville Business District Advisory Committee has selected
Serafina’s Pizza as its 3rd
Quarter Downtown Recognition recipient for 2010.
Owner Joe Brasacchio has just completed an attractive new
façade to his business at 423 Railroad Street.
Well-kept storefronts invite visitors, help to create a
positive image of the downtown and demonstrate a commitment to our
community. Thanks, Joe, for your contributions to our revitalization
initiatives.
Second
Quarter 2010
The Bridgeville Business District
Advisory Committee has chosen
Jason Sarasnick and
Sarasnick’s Hardware as its 2nd Quarter Downtown
Recognition recipient for 2010. This is a fourth generation
business, opening in 1937 with Joseph Sarasnick, Sr. and his two
sons Frank and Charles as the original owners. For the past 73
years, Bridgeville customers have been visiting this store for all
of their hardware needs. “If you can’t find it at Sarasnick’s, you
won’t find it anywhere” is the local saying. They carry Stihl power
equipment, fasteners, screens, windows and anything else you can
think of.
Jason is the
current owner and great nephew of the founder.
Besides devoting his time to this long-time business, Jason
is also a member of Bridgeville Council and serves as the Parks and
Recreation liaison.
The BDAC

service. For more information, please call 412-221-5711 or stop by
