Tarentum leaders want to improve safety at spray park after multiple vehicle crashes
Tarentum's spray park is a popular spot for families to visit and cool off, but local leaders said it has been the scene of multiple crashes, which is why they're taking action to improve safety. On a hot summer day, you may find Lisa Sobek and her daughter at the spray park at Riverview Memorial Park. "My daughter absolutely loves it," Sobek said. "It's super fun and exciting for the children." Throughout the summer, the place can be packed with kids running through the water. But it's next to a busy corridor for trucks and tractor-trailers on First Avenue. Families, along with borough leaders like Mayor Bob Lang, have been concerned about the traffic, and the three or four crashes that have happened there in recent years, the worst this past spring, forcing the borough to delay opening the spray park for a week. "Mostly not paying attention, and we had a few DUIs," Lang said. Lang said these incidents caused severe damage to the fence surrounding the park, and they had to replace it each time, which is expensive. Thankfully, no one was in the park when the crashes occurred, but they fear the possibility. "I've got grandkids, I don't want anybody's kid to get hit by a car," Lang said. To try to prevent that, the borough plans to install more bollard posts from the spray park to the end of the playground by Allegheny Street. "They're going to be three feet apart, and they're going to be behind the fence," Lang said. The borough also plans on making updates to the security cameras. It is currently working with a contractor, and construction should start soon. "It would be unthinkably tragic if something happened to the children," Sobek said. After seeing the hole in the fence this spring, Sobek is relieved to learn about these upgrades. "Children are so valuable, they're so worth that kind of investment to be protected," Sobek said. The project is expected to be done by the end of the year.

Palace Pub to take the place of Wrestaurant at the Palace starting next week
The restaurant next door to the Palace Theatre in downtown St. Paul is finally reopening after extensive water damage caused its closure last fall. The new name for the restaurant, which will be run by First Avenue, is Palace Pub. Wrestaurant at the Palace is no more. 'After months of repairs and reflection, we made the decision to officially close that chapter,' the First Avenue folks said in a news release. 'Now, we're ready for what's next.' The restaurant will officially open Tuesday, June 17, with happy hour, dinner and late-night bites. The menu includes thin-crust pizza (a stark departure from Wrestaurant's thick-crust Detroit-style pies), sandwiches and appetizers. There will be a full bar with a cocktail menu, local beer, wine, THC beverages and other non-alcoholic options. Regular hours will be Tuesday through Saturday from 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. with the kitchen open until 11 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on Friday and Saturday. The restaurant will also open on Sunday or Monday if there are events at the Palace or the Xcel Energy Center. 'We're excited to bring something fresh to this iconic space,' said Marc Dickhut, First Avenue director of general operations, in the release. 'Our team has put the time into creating a spot that feels easy, welcoming, and fun — whether you're grabbing a quick drink before a show, hanging late with friends, or stopping in for food downtown. We can't wait to open the doors and be part of the renewed energy in downtown St. Paul.' The Palace Theatre is owned by the city and co-managed by First Avenue and JAM Productions. Palace Pub: 33 W.
