Body
WHEREAS Mitchell's Restaurant, located at 304 Ross Street in Downtown Pittsburgh, is currently celebrating its 100-Year anniversary; and
 
WHEREAS in 1906, Constantinos Michalopoulos (Gust), a Greek immigrant who arrived in America in 1902, opened the original, "Mitchell's Dining Room," situated on the corner of Washington and Wylie, above the site of the present-day Civic Arena in Pittsburgh's Hill District; and
 
WHEREAS between 1945 and 1977, Mitchell's Restaurant moved to two different Downtown addresses, finally finding its third and present location at the corner of Third Avenue and Ross Street; and
 
WHEREAS Mitchell's has remained a family business throughout its 100-Year existence, with its ownership continually building upon Gust's original vision by opening a Mini-Mitch Convenience Store, expanding the restaurant space, and purchasing the building where Mitchell's is presently located; and
 
WHEREAS on Saturday, October 14th, 2006, Mitchell's Restaurant will host a Centennial Celebration, during which special pricing and a variety of other events will take place.
