(Pittsburgh, PA) A bookstore in Pittsburgh has been named the friendliest small business in Pennsylvania, according to a new study. A nationwide study which was conducted last month by the Advance Funds Network surveyed more than 3,000 people and revealed the 150 friendliest small businesses in the United States, and three of them are based in Pennsylvania. The ranking was based on direct consumer feedback and reviews from Google aimed to identify businesses that are known for patience, service and warmth. White Whale Bookstore, which is located in the Bloomfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh, finished at No. 71 in these recent rankings from the Advance Funds Network, and that bookstore ranked as the highest of any Pennsylvania business on the list.

Officials confirm that the driver was arrested for possessing a full-auto Glock pistol. A search of a vehicle then led to investigators recovering two AR-pistols, cash and crack cocaine.

Oliver, who is facing several burglary related probation violations, has been taken into custody on those bench warrants and is now facing new theft charges. Foster was a fugitive for the past two months after bench warrants were issued for probation violations on three separate cases involving a guilty plea to a burglary charge and a fourth case involving a guilty plea to receiving stolen property. Foster was also named a suspect and was subsequently charged in two retail theft cases in February. The first one was at Dick’s Sporting Goods in South Hills Village, where he tried to steal over $800 worth of merchandise and the second one was at Kohl’s in Ross Township where he stole over $500 worth of goods. Detectives from the Allegheny County Sheriff’s office developed information this week that Foster was inside of a residence along Rustic Avenue and arrived at the location at 9:00 a.m. yesterday morning. Detectives were able to confirm that Foster was inside once they were on scene and after gaining entry, they located him hiding underneath a table. Foster was arrested without further incident and he was transported to the Allegheny County Jail.
