More News Around Town: The Matthews Heritage Museum’s exhibit House with a Heart has been extended for another month, staying up until March 7. "The House With A Heart: 40 Years of the Matthews HELP Center" documents the past 40 years of good works by the HELP Center and will be on display until February 1, 2020. What started as an all-volunteer organization in the Massey-Clark House (home of the Matthews Heritage Museum), now employs a professional staff of 7 full-time and 6 part-time staff and over 240 volunteers.

The Matthews Heritage Museum is located at 232 N. Trade Street is open Thursday – Saturday from 10 to 4:30. Small admission charged. 

One Good Thing: Sunday is National Pizza Day. Here at BeacHQ, we don’t need a day to recognize pizza. We celebrate it every single day, but if you need a good excuse to try a pie, Sunday is it. Matthews has plenty of independently owned pizza places; may we suggest the Exchange Pizza Depot (213 N Trade St suite b), Pizza Peel (110 Matthews Station St #1a), Papa Murphy’s (3016 Weddington Rd #200), Jet’s (920 Park Center Dr), or Primavera (1319 Matthews-Mint Hill Rd). Each of these pizzerias has its own style, so maybe a National Pizza Week would be more appropriate.
