A request for a preliminary injunction was filed against Thomas J. and Barbara Reilly Jr., 838 Golfview Drive, McKeesport, owners of a former automobile agency at 3333 William Penn Highway on the route to Monroeville Mall. Township officials claimed the Reilly couple intend to open a 500 person nightclub and restaurant at the location without the necessary electrical, plumbing, sanitation and fire protection installed." So, now it looks like this didn't open until 1977 or later, and was gone by 1984.
