McKeesport man hopes to build a Hollywood on the Mon
Thursday, May 10, 2007 By Margaret Smykla
Even with a cigar clenched in his teeth and lots of padded girth, no one would confuse McKeesport's John Yost with film mogul Louis B. Mayer. Then again, no one would confuse Glassport with Hollywood.
But a Tinseltown on the Mon could be on its way if Mr. Yost can work out a deal for property in Glassport on which he wants to expand his fledgling film studio.

Sandy Urbanski, former president of the Glassport Development Corp., is enthusiastic about Mr. Yost's plans.
"I think he has a lot of great ideas, and the ability to do this,'' she said.
Mrs. Urbanski said she would welcome the new jobs and increased business for local establishments that an expansion could provide.
Mr. Yost is formerly of Penn Hills and graduated from Duquesne University with a degree in finance. When he realized he was not happy in his chosen profession about six years ago, he decided to pursue acting, which he had dabbled in during high school and college.
He belongs to the Screen Actors Guild, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, American Guild of Music, Artists and the Actors' Equity Association.
He is married with two sons.
Mr. Yost also was scheduled to direct a training video, which he also wrote, earlier this week for a company that makes communications systems for emergency medical services, fire and police.
Filming will take place at various Mon Valley sites, such as the Glassport borough fire station, just a block from Mogul offices.

"Well do it, mon!"

Well, there be no shortage of willin’ hotties in that locale if my memory serves correct. ;)
A man from Jamaica.
The Monongahela River, yunz should know that.
It doesn't.
Well, she probably does look like that by now...
Isn’t that on Venus?
Not far from Mars, actually.
Damn close to Moon/Beaver, too.

I was trying to figure out the advantages to filming on the moon. Higher priced resturants I guess.
Oh now I got it, no saggy breasts!
Baba Streisand to be first actress on moon...
There’s a now-abandoned soundstage in Trafford from the last guy who wanted to make movies here. Where the Westinghouse used to be.
I wonder if he’s a member of F.A.G.

Yeah but they have no atmosphere.
With less gravity, the actesses can save a fortune on body part lifts.
