Crews are out repainting the building and adding prominent towers on both sides to spruce up the shopping center on the outskirts of Carnegie.
The Glenn Scott Plaza on Washington Avenue is getting a facelift. Crews are out repainting the building and adding prominent towers on both sides to spruce up the shopping center on the outskirts of Carnegie. A new Dollar Tree also recently opened in the strip mall. The reconstruction comes about seven months after a car crashed through the front of the Tomatoes pizza shop. However, the facelift is to make the strip mall more attractive and not tied to that crash. Click above to watch a panoramic video of work being done on the shopping center.

Jeff Mucci, 41, of Cecil, took over the boxing club from former Pittsburgh Steelers player Craig Wolfley and current broadcaster, last January and has been working to expand its membership. “I just outgrew it,” Mucci said of the old gym on Station Street behind the PNC Bank. “When I saw that brick wall, I was sold on (this building). I had to snatch this place up quick.” That brick wall goes the entire length of the gym and gives the cavernous building a rugged personality. The building located in the Scott …
