Say "I do!" to the Northside Small Business Challenge
Advertisement
This Northside small business directory was compiled in collaboration with the Northside Leadership Conference.
The Northside Chronicle is once again asking our readers to take the pledge of support for the Northside's Small Business Community:
"I , [your name], do solemnly pledge to patron my neighborhood's small businesses, and the small businesses throughout the Northside, whenever possible. I further pledge to encourage my family, my friends, and coworkers to shop locally on the Northside to help preserve the quality of life we enjoy."
Are you committed to the challenge? There are 107 individual small businesses in the below di-
rectory list that are crucial to the community, and also widely facing hardship, due to the continued effect of Covid-19 restrictions.
February is the shortest month of the year with 28 days on non-leap years yet has quite a few permanent, and roving, holiday dates. This year, February 12-16 could be considered a weekend-long celebration. Friday, 2/12 is the Chinese New Year of the Metal Ox. Saturday, 2/13 is National Radio Day, Galentine's Day, Cheddar Day, and Global Movie Day. Sunday, 2/14 is Valentine's Day, Monday 2/15 is President's Day, and Northside Mardi Gras is Tuesday 2/16 .
Readers are challenged to patron 28 or more Northside small businesses by February 28, 2021 for a chance to win $60 gift card to a Northside business of your choice.
To officially enter the challenge, save each receipt for proof of purchase. The challenger with the most receipts will win a $60 worth of gift cards to Northside small business(es) of their choice. Receipts of each purchase and the challenger's Name, Address, and Phone number are to be submitted by post mail to the address below or emailed to: advertising@thenorthsidechronicle.com

Steps to support your favorite neighborhood small businesses
Here are a few ideas worth sharing with your friends and family:
Pre-order in advance for pick-up when possible. If you are able to tip in advance online, consider tipping as if you were being served onsite. If you're able to tip in cash at the time of receiving the order, consider tipping as if you were being served onsite.
Schedule one or more meals for take out, or delivery, each week to learn which menu items will become your favorite go-to's. Try a new spot each week.
Already a regular at your neighborhood spots?
Consider buying in bulk! Many food and drink retailers create fresh and easily frozen meals or drinks to keep on hand for your convenience.
Get wild and try a new item! Buy one for a friend! Go father than your Northside neighborhood!
Visit your nearby Northside neighborhoods to discover what small business offerings you've been missing.
Northside is home to classic retailers for clothing, books, jewelry, cameras, home decor, hardware, records, art, bicycles, beauty and personal care products. Plus, unique groceries, specialty food and drink makers, it's easy to shop, eat, and be Northside every day with this many options.
Grab gifts, or gift cards, for upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations.
Consider planning family meals with Northside small businesses that cater this year.
Shopping exclusively at small businesses on the Northside brings value to our neighborhoods & ensures our main streets will remain vibrant for the future.

Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh offers new hands-on workshops to fight ‘screen fatigue’
By Ashlee Green
If your child has “screen fatigue” from ongoing distance learning, Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh has a remedy. The museum is offering more than 25 remote workshops this February—over 100 total by the end of May—with a focus on hands-on activities. Museum teaching artists will facilitate the workshops and each workshop is geared toward a specific age range: three to six-year-olds, seven to 10-year-olds, or 11 to 14-year-olds.
“We’ve found a great way to extend the impact of our teaching artists to reach children, youth, and families during quarantine,” said Chip Lindsey, senior director of education at Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and MuseumLab, in a press release. "The chance to work with a teaching artist on a project that taps the creativity and imagination of the learner is a hallmark of our workshops.”
The workshops for three to six-yearolds will focus on family bonding and socialization through art; the ones for seven-to-10-year olds will explore how common household items can be used to make books and mail art; and the ones for 11 to 14-year-olds will teach weaving, metal embossing, and rocketry.
Workshops are available on a sliding scale price model.
You can find more information, including how to sign up for workshops and deadlines for registration, on the museum’s website, which can be found at: https://pittsburghkids.org/education/workshops. n

Ask An Attorney
By Matthew D. Gailey, Gailey Law Group
When I was a younger lad in the Northside growing up, I would get rides from Uncle Pat, namely the Port Authority Transit (PAT) buses. I didn't know it at the time, but when I was riding the 11D Perrysville bus, under the law I was riding in a common carrier. Under Pennsylvania law, a common carrier is subject to many duties and obligations.
A common carrier of passengers, like a PAT bus, is not an insurer of the passenger's safety, but liability may be imposed for injuries resulting from negligent conduct on the part of a carrier.
Along these lines, a PAT bus has a duty to warn passengers of dangers that they would not likely observe and apprehend. Additionally, a carrier is held to the highest degree of care in carrying its passengers to their destination and enabling them to a light safely. It is for these reasons that on buses you see various admonitions about standing behind yellow lines, warnings about opening windows, and the like.
A carrier's duties extend beyond just safe operation of the conveyance. For instance, a carrier has a duty to protect passengers when they are on board and also to make sure they are safe when they are getting off the carrier. A carrier can also not allow known dangerous individuals with a propensity for violence onto the carrier. A carrier must also take care to protect disabled individuals or infants. For instance, a carrier could be liable for negligently setting its vehicle in motion while a passenger walking with the aid of crutches is still proceeding through the aisle.
Finally, a passenger must still act as a reasonably prudent person and reject any unnecessary risks.
If you have any other questions about accidents involving a common carrier, please feel free to give my office a call.

Geraldine ‘Ms. Bert’ Muyango remembered for her ‘servant’s heart’
By Jason Phox
Geraldine R. Muyango, known as “Ms. Bert” to the Northside community, died on Dec. 29, 2020 at 53 due to complications from COVID-19.
According to her obituary, Muyango attended New Hope United Methodist Church on the Northside and helped with
their outreach programs until it closed in 2016. She later became a member of New Destiny Church where she continued to serve the Northside community.
Muyango lived in the Northside for over 25 years, according to Diane Ivy, a friend of hers. Ivy knew Muyango as someone who truly loved to support people and her community. Muyango and her sister, Mary Smith, ran a 24/7 daycare called the Mary E. Smith Family Child Care Home.
According to Ivy, Muyango always had a large group of children around her and took care of people because she loved it. She tried to keep her life private, but the Northside community knew how much she helped people and thus, her life was open to others.
Muyango, for years, would set up on the Boulevard of the Allies in downtown Pittsburgh once a week and give food to those who needed it, while doctors provided medical needs to the homeless.
During the holidays, Muyango ran a fund which gave gifts and supplies to underserved families. People would help by donating gifts for Muyango to hand out to them.
“She [Muyango] said her and six siblings would get abused when she was younger, and never truly had a Christmas as a child,” Ivy recalled. “She said, So now I make it joyful for everybody around the holidays.’"
Ivy explained that last Christmas, Muyango could not do the meal program because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but continued with gift giving, and handing out gifts to families outside of her house.
When Ivy asked Muyango why she helped people, Muyango explained that she loved it; that it brought her joy to see
help people. Muyango volunteered at the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank to help provide food to families in the Northside.
“Every year for the last five years, people donated toys to her [Muyango] and got them together for families,” Ivy said. “She would ‘adopt’ 100 families a year and have a big dinner. All these officials would come and help, and she would have them wearing aprons serving dinner to the community.”
Muyango was also affiliated with The Pittsburgh Project. Once a week, she would watch over peoples’ children while they would have a meeting there. Every summer for two weeks, Muyango ran a Bible study for children.
Ivy started a GoFundMe page for Muyango’s sister, Mary. In it, Muyango is described as having a “servant’s heart.”
“When you asked her, ‘What do you need for yourself?,’she smiled and said, "Just prayers."
Muyango was also known to live by the words of “The Dash,” a poem by Linda Ellis, which refers to the “dash” between a person’s date of birth and date of death, or “all the time they spent alive on earth.” It reads:
“For it matters not, how much we own, the cars… the house… the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.” n
