[Highland Park] Tazza D'Oro says "Check out the Union Station Cafe"
Thank you to the Union Project for providing a coffeehouse where the staff from Tazza D'Oro can hang out!!! Education fund to honor Union Project adviser Monday, May 15, 2006 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The Union Project in Highland Park is contributing 5 percent of the revenue from Union Station, its new coffeehouse, to create and maintain the Amy Enrico Scholarship Fund for Entrepreneurship. The fund honors Ms. Enrico, owner of Taza d'Oro on Highland Avenue, for her service as business coach for the young entrepreneurs of Union Project. It will help employees of both the Union Project and Taza d'Oro pay for higher education. Union Station opened early this month in the former Union Baptist Church, at Stanton and Negley avenues. The Union Project has become a community meeting center and been the site of artist studios and classes since 2001, when Jessica King and Justin Rothshank, former volunteers with the Mennonite urban mission program, bought the church and began restoring it. "Amy has been helping us for years on our business plan, how to be more businesslike and more sustainable and responsible with our resources," said Ms. King. "A lot of people couldn't understand why she would help the competition, but the way she explains it to us is that when you help entrepreneurs take root in communities, growth and strength happens. She is growth-oriented, not fear-oriented, and we just wanted to find a way to thank her." Union Station will hold its grand opening the weekend of June 2.
