The sign in the parking lot of Roman Bistro on Ardmore Boulevard actually is looking to days beyond Dec. 21.
Some motorists along Ardmore Boulevard on Thursday were probably scratching their heads as they saw the numbers flying by on the new digital sign in the parking lot of Roman Bistro. Was it counting down to the predicted end of the world tomorrow (Friday)? The hours 'til Christmas? The time the ball drops on New Year's Eve? Not at all. Mike Roman, owner of Roman Bistro, said the sign's flashing numbers had nothing to do with doomsday or anything else.

Local tenor John Walters is performing tonight at 8 p.m. at Roman Bistro on Ardmore Boulevard in Forest Hills. Walter has been performing regionally for more than two decades. His stage career began at Saint Vincent Summer Theater, where he received his degree in English literature in 1985.

Walters' operatic repertoire includes such roles as Rodolfo in La boheme, Zsupan in The Gypsy Baron, Gherardo in Gianni Schicchi, Sid in Albert Herring, and Topp in The Tender Land, for the Duquesne Opera Workshop.
