    Voodoo Brewing in New Kensington is here to stay, despite the closure of the company's Pittsburgh and Seven Fields locations. It's because Voodoo Brewery, located at 956 5th Ave. in downtown New Kensington, is independently run and owned. "We are an independent location, so we're not beholden to any corporate decisions they make to close locations," said Operations Manager Michelle Thom. Tuesday was the North Shore Voodoo's final night of business after almost three years in operation.
