I'm taking a photojournalism class and our most recent assignment was to take portraits of news-worthy people. I walked around my town of Dormont yesterday and took pictures and got some basic information from a few of the business owners who make Dormont fantastic. I stopped at Woven Rug Gallery, Hairgeometrics, Beyond Bedtime Books, and Dormont Fresh Market. For two of the locations I also took some pictures around the store and posted them, I liked them.
The Woven Rug Gallery is located on Potomac Avenue in Dormont and features hundreds upon hundreds of rugs from around the wold. At the shop, they sell, clean, and repair rugs. Ba has been working at the shop for 11 years.
Char opened up her store, Dormont Fresh Market, in August of 2010. She wanted to fill the need for Dormont's lack of a store to purchase household needs such as fresh produce, meat, and deli products. Her deli sells Weiss meats and she sells quality locally made breads.
For six years, Jamie Grassman has been running an online bookstore specializing in children's books. Nearly a year ago, after the owner of the former bookstore on Potomac retired, she fulfilled her dream of owning a used book store and bought the space. The former store had been there for 15-20 years. Grassman looks forward to the summer when she will be able to host events for children and adults.
Jennie Santorella, owner of Hairgeometrics, will satisfy all of your hair, manicure, and pedicure needs. Her business is a small personal store that has been able to build up a great reputation in the Pittsburgh area for the past 16 years.
