Mr. Egg's Kitchen coming soon to Squirrel Hill, after 40-month wait.
Taken April 2019.
Mr. Egg's Kitchen appears to be finally coming soon to Squirrel Hill, 40 months after work began on the Murray Ave. storefront. Mr. Egg's Kitchen is a noodle restaurant coming to 2103 Murray Ave. (map), formerly the location of Sree's Foods. A permit for construction in the space was first issued in March 2017, with signage going up in April 2019 and the window coverings coming off six months later. The county permitted it to open last month, though construction continues.

[Pittsburgh City-Paper] At Home With: Jasmine M. Cho.
"Resistance Auntie" cookie, via jasminemcho.com
I started questioning the value of my craft and was grappling with the sense of limbo I was in and the rising anti-Asian racism and violence I was constantly seeing in the news. May, being Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM), completely shifted everything again for me. I had several work opportunities return that allowed me to share my cookie art in creative projects that not only helped me combat the emotional low I was in but also gave me a chance to encourage the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities at large. It's given me enough momentum and reconnection with my work to keep me creating regularly through this pandemic.

Crazy Rich Asians, outdoors at Allegheny County parks in August.
The movie Crazy Rich Asians will play outdoors in South Park on August 7 and at Hartwood Acres on August 14 as part of the county's "Date Night" series of films. A summary of the film, from the distributor:
"Crazy Rich Asians” follows native New Yorker Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) as she accompanies her longtime boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore. Excited about visiting Asia for the first time but nervous about meeting Nick’s family, Rachel is unprepared to learn that Nick has neglected to mention a few key details about his life. It turns out that he is not only the scion of one of the country’s wealthiest families but also one of its most sought-after bachelors. Being on Nick’s arm puts a target on Rachel’s back, with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick’s own disapproving mother (Michelle Yeoh) taking aim. And it soon becomes clear that while money can’t buy love, it can definitely complicate things.
