AROUND TOWN: Cavanaugh’s brings good food, good music, and lively atmosphere

If you find yourself in or around Mountain Top anytime soon, you have to stop at Cavanaugh’s Grille.

AROUND TOWN: Stop by this lesser-known favorite!

When I think about my favorite spots, many come to mind.

Movie Meow: In ‘Obsession,’ a hopeless romantic regrets a wish

It was estimated that an overbloated 45 million Americans hit the open road this past Memorial Day weekend, traveling a minimum of 50 miles. I never quite understood the rationality of going away (especially flying), which is such a process for a measly three or four days. If I am going somewhere big, I want the whole enchilada, meaning the minimum is an entire week! Otherwise, don’t waste my time.

Movie Meow: In ‘Obsession,’ a hopeless romantic regrets a wish

Be careful who you wish for — instead of what you wish for — is the blaring warning of this sensational festival darling that is the late-spring surprise hit of the season.

Movie Meow: ‘The Devil Wears Prada, 2’ touching but lacks biting humor

With the traditional publishing of magazines and physical print in danger, including the revered “Runway Magazine,” which is an institution in fashion, successful journalist Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), after being fired, returns to her old stomping grounds opposite her old crew, most notably her infamously tough publisher Miranda, played by the legend Meryl Streep. Speaking of physical media, heck, I am still mad that the CD went out of style!

Movie Meow: ‘Michael’ is good, but not great

“Smooth Criminal,” “Thriller,” “Billie Jean,” “You Are Not Alone,” “Man in the Mirror.” Just like the Energizer Bunny, the hit list of Michael Jackson singles goes on and on and on. Streams of Mr. Jackson’s catalog are up in record numbers since the release of this popular biopic, which has already made nearly $100 million dollars domestically in just its first week in theaters.

Movie Meow: ‘Roommates’ offers some laughs, but isn’t all that memorable

On average, around 6.8 million households in the U.S. are filled with roommates who share a dwelling and are unrelated. One must really screen their potential candidates closely in this day and age, though, you definitely do not want a “Single White Female” scenario transpiring!
