  • Vets Honored, Mayoral Transition, Crime Bust, Outdoor Boost, Food Bank Aids - A Pittsburgh Local Pulse Update

    Vets Honored, Mayoral Transition, Crime Bust, Outdoor Boost, Food Bank Aids - A Pittsburgh Local Pulse Update
    2025/11/08
    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Saturday, November 8th, 2025.

    We’re waking up to a fall chill with highs expected in the mid-50s and sunshine peeking through later in the day, perfect parade weather if you’re headed Downtown. Crowds are already lining Liberty Avenue as the city’s annual Veterans Day parade steps off this morning, one of the oldest parades of its kind. Vietnam veterans are front and center this year as the city commemorates 50 years since the end of that conflict, with local Marine Andy Nigut as grand marshal. If you’re traveling through Downtown or the Strip District, remember road closures will be in place until about two o’clock, and Pittsburgh Regional Transit buses will be detoured along Liberty and nearby streets.

    After an Election Day that saw nearly 45 percent of Allegheny County voters turn out—a strong showing for a local race—congratulations are in order for Mayor-elect Corey O’Connor. Many are watching to see how new leadership will shape priorities at city hall, especially as council debates next year’s budget and proposals to expand affordable housing in neighborhoods like Garfield and the Hill District.

    In breaking news, a coordinated police effort in Mount Washington Friday resulted in the seizure of three illegal firearms, marijuana, and about a thousand dollars in cash. Eighteen-year-old Gaquan Davis faces multiple charges connected to weapons and narcotics. Meanwhile, in Homestead, a teenage boy is hospitalized in critical condition after a shooting on East 12th Avenue late last night. Police are urging anyone with information to contact the Allegheny County tip line.

    On the economic front, Pittsburgh has just been named a national Thrive Outside community, recognizing our ongoing push to create more outdoor activity spaces. This drives economic growth and new jobs—almost 4,000 have been added statewide since last year according to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Local real estate agents report a steady uptick in new listings this week, and several South Side businesses have soft openings planned for Small Business Saturday.

    With many families feeling the crunch of the recent federal shutdown and delays in SNAP benefits, local nonprofits and the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank are stepping up with emergency food distributions. State officials, including Governor Shapiro, are vowing to “keep every Pennsylvanian fed” while legal wrangling continues over federal food assistance.

    It’s a big weekend for sports. The Pitt volleyball team swept Virginia Tech in straight sets at Fitzgerald Field House last night with a dominating team performance, notching their 20th win of the season. WPIAL football playoffs are heating up, and Aliquippa has clinched another trip to the 4A title game after a shutout over New Castle. The Steelers defense is seeing a leadership boost from Jalen Ramsey, now helping anchor the secondary as they prepare for the Chargers Sunday night. And on the ice, Sidney Crosby and the resurgent Penguins continue to surprise fans with an early season winning streak.

    Looking ahead, the Three Rivers Film Festival opens Wednesday with independent films and Q and As at venues across the city. On Tuesday, Frick Park Stewardship Day welcomes volunteers to help restore our beloved green spaces. Over at the Carnegie Library in Oakland, “A Soldier’s Footlocker” exhibition runs through Wednesday for anyone interested in the city’s Civil War history.

    A quick note for families: local schools are proudly celebrating student achievements, with several Pittsburgh Public Schools robotics teams advancing to state qualifiers this week.

    To wrap things up, a feel-good moment on the North Side as volunteers and neighbors rallied yesterday to deliver fresh groceries and warm coats to hundreds of families, reminding us why our communities remain strong in the face of uncertainty.

    Thanks so much for tuning in to Pittsburgh Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Remember to subscribe and share with your neighbors. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease dot ai.

  • "Veterans Honored, Civic Pride Shines, and Outdoor Adventures Await in Pittsburgh"

    "Veterans Honored, Civic Pride Shines, and Outdoor Adventures Await in Pittsburgh"
    2025/11/08
    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Saturday, November 8, 2025. As we wake up on this brisk fall day, the early chill isn’t stopping Pittsburgh from buzzing with news and energy. We’re starting in downtown, where the annual Veterans Day Parade, one of the nation’s oldest, is marching down Liberty Avenue this morning. Listeners should plan for closures along Liberty and detours through the early afternoon. This year’s theme commemorates fifty years since the end of the Vietnam War, with local veterans like Andy Nigut leading the way. Expect thousands waving flags near Point State Park as we welcome our heroes home with gratitude.

    Outside the parade, the weather is autumn at its core—chilly with a breeze and highs only reaching the mid-forties. If you’re out for yard cleanup, today’s the day. The Department of Public Works is doing their fall debris collection, so set out leaves and branches, even old Halloween pumpkins, by 6 AM. Afternoon will stay dry but keep a jacket handy, as tonight’s temps dip close to freezing. Looking ahead, expect sunshine through Sunday but pack an umbrella for possible showers on Monday.

    Big news from City Hall—Corey O’Connor is our next mayor. The newly elected city council promises to keep a strong focus on public safety, economic opportunity, and fighting food insecurity. In a sign of change, longtime public servant Sheldon Williams is in line to serve as public safety director, bringing decades of experience to guide the city’s efforts, especially as we address gun violence and drug concerns.

    Speaking of which, law enforcement made headlines yesterday after SWAT and city police seized illegal guns, drugs, and cash from a suspect in Mount Washington. A separate shooting overnight in Homestead left one person hospitalized and continues under investigation, while city officials urge vigilance and community cooperation as we work to keep neighborhoods safer for everyone.

    On the personal front, there’s cause for community pride. A recent municipal election saw Allegheny County turnout approach 45 percent. Local leaders are calling it a sign of growing civic engagement. For families facing food uncertainty, recent legal action means SNAP benefits are being restored in full this month, a relief for many Pittsburgh households.

    With our outdoor scene, Pittsburgh just earned national recognition as the newest Thrive Outside community. That means more outdoor events, expanded park access, and new youth programming, buoyed by investments already adding thousands of jobs right here. Organizations like the Outdoor Inclusion Coalition and local sponsors like Dick’s Sporting Goods are helping the city shape a new identity around open-air living and recreation.

    For those looking to join in, today’s Frick Park stewardship event invites volunteers to help restore and protect our largest regional park. The Friends of Neill Log House are hosting a community celebration Sunday in Schenley Park, complete with tours and food. Looking to next week, we have the kickoff of the Three Rivers Film Festival, a free day at the Children’s Museum on Tuesday, and flu and COVID vaccine clinics in Squirrel Hill.

    On the sports front, the Penguins are riding a high after a 5-3 win over Washington, with Sidney Crosby scoring twice and the city electric with postgame buzz. The Steelers are prepping for a big matchup in Los Angeles tomorrow, as new defensive star Jalen Ramsey adapts to his versatile role with high praise from teammates. On the college scene, Pitt volleyball continues its stellar season with yet another sweep against Virginia Tech, now topping 20 wins and dominating the ACC.

    Schools aren’t just excelling in athletics. Across the district, several high schools reported increases in graduation rates and college admissions, and a local robotics team from Allderdice advanced to the nationals this week.

    Let’s close on something that warms the heart. This morning, Pittsburgh firefighters are distributing free winter coats to local kids at the Fire Fighters Union Hall. All are welcome, and the smiles are already lighting up the South Side.

    Thanks for starting your Saturday with us. Make sure to subscribe so you never miss a pulse on Pittsburgh news. This has been Pittsburgh Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Pittsburgh Pulse: New Mayor, Fire, and Community Updates

    Pittsburgh Pulse: New Mayor, Fire, and Community Updates
    2025/11/07
    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Friday, November 7th, 2025.

    Let’s get going with the big news from City Hall, where Pittsburgh swears in its new mayor, Corey O’Connor. O’Connor sailed to an overwhelming win this week, picking up about eighty-eight percent of the vote and carrying every precinct in the city, even some that had never before backed a Democrat. In his victory speech over on the South Side, the new mayor called for unity and invited neighbors from all walks of life to get involved in shaping Pittsburgh’s future. O’Connor’s immediate priorities include naming a new police chief—he’s hoping to have that wrapped up by December—and getting a handle on the city’s tight budget. O’Connor has named Dan Gilman, a familiar face from city council and Duquesne, as his chief of staff, and he’s nominating Sheldon Williams, a military veteran and paramedic, as Public Safety Director. Williams had over a decade with the Bureau of Police before becoming a pastor and educator.

    In other important local news, an early morning fire at the Whole Foods on Penn Avenue and Saint Clair Street in East Liberty brought emergency crews to the roof. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

    Turning to weather, it looks like a cloudy but mild day ahead for us here in Pittsburgh. Expect highs in the low fifties with a slight breeze out of the west. A chance of drizzle lingers into the afternoon, so keep an umbrella handy if you’ve got outdoor plans or are headed to any evening events. The weekend outlook is shaping up much the same—cool, damp, but not a washout.

    From the business scene, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership is rolling out a push to fill those empty storefronts along Smithfield and Fifth. If you’re a small business, artist, or entrepreneur, there are new city programs hoping to help you set up shop downtown, especially as the city preps for the draft and holiday season.

    On the job front, the city council is debating a partial freeze on hiring and spending, with discussions set for next week. Meanwhile, in healthcare, Heritage Valley Health is merging with Allegheny Health Network, signaling big changes for hospital workers and patients across the region.

    In real estate, affordable housing remains a major issue. Mayor O’Connor is calling for new creative solutions and feedback to help address shortages, especially in neighborhoods like East Hills and Allentown.

    For community events, get ready for the city’s light-up night and holiday market opening downtown next weekend. Tonight, high school football is front and center with WPIAL quarterfinals kicking off across the region, including packed stands over at North Allegheny and Central Catholic.

    Speaking of schools, several area districts are crediting new cellphone bans for a drop in fights and better focus in classrooms. Pittsburgh educators say the change is bringing a welcome sense of calm to the school day.

    In sports, the Steelers are prepping for a big division game this Sunday. The Penguins just grabbed a strong win at home last night, and the Pitt Panthers are getting ready to face off against Notre Dame tomorrow afternoon.

    On the crime front, police are investigating a homicide in neighboring Westmoreland County, but here in the city, there were no major violent incidents overnight. Public safety officials remind us to keep an eye out for scams, especially if you receive SNAP benefits, as reports of phishing attempts have increased recently.

    Ending today’s show on some good news: the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank received more than thirteen hundred pounds of fresh food this week, thanks to a generous donation from the Tull Family Foundation. Volunteers have already started distributing meals across our neighborhoods.
