Welcome the new kid on the block, Carley's!

Steve and KJ Weinstock have certainly made a name for themselves in Downtown Harrisburg with the success of Stock's on 2nd and more recently, the duo opened their second restaurant in Downtown Harrisburg... Carley's Ristorante and Piano Bar!  The name Carley's came about through the merging of their children's names, Carter and Ashley.  The restaurant is conveniently located just around the corner from Stocks at 204 Locust Street.  Carley's is the former home of Center City Bread Shed.  Congratulations and Good Luck Weinstocks!  

Free Admission Continues!

The Susquehanna Art Museum has been awarded two grants for their 2008 programs and exhibitions.  With these grants the museum is able to continue to extend free admission to its galleries through September 2008.  This is a great opportunity for the community to experience a valuable cultural resource.  The Museum is also able to offer three Main Gallery exhibitions with the help of the grants.  Celebrate Doshi is the first of the three exhibits that will show from January 10-May 11.  Be sure to stop by the Susquehanna Art Museum to experience and explore all that it has to offer!  Visit www.sqart.org for more information on all of the Museum's exhibits and how to donate!
