  • Sunday in Pittsburgh: Sunny Skies, Steelers, and Community Updates

    Sunday in Pittsburgh: Sunny Skies, Steelers, and Community Updates
    2025/09/14
    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Sunday, September 14, 2025.

    We wake up today to a gorgeous stretch of late-summer weather. With high pressure camped over our region, we are looking at sunny skies and a high near 84 degrees in the city. After a cooler start, it feels almost like July out there. If you are heading out, throw on a t-shirt and shorts and make sure to hydrate, especially with the continued drought. Lawns across Allegheny and Beaver counties are dry and brown, and there’s no significant rain expected until late next week. Evenings stay clear with lows in the upper fifties, and the summer warmth sticks around for several more days.

    The city is buzzing for the Steelers home opener at Acrisure Stadium this afternoon against the Seahawks. Tailgaters are already flocking to the North Shore, and the stadium will be packed for the kickoff. All this sun means it will be hot for the fans, so grab your sunscreen.

    In sports news, Pittsburgh-area high schools kicked off Friday Night Lights with thrilling games—Pine-Richland pulled off a late win against North Allegheny, and Central Catholic posted a big shutout. Local athlete Sydney Mathews of Allderdice High took gold at the state track qualifier, making the city proud.

    On to breaking local news and public safety. There’s been a serious incident in Robinson Township this morning. Authorities confirm a juvenile boy and a woman were stabbed inside a home on K Row just after 8 a.m. Both are hospitalized—the boy is in critical but stable condition and the woman’s injuries are minor. The suspect, known to the victims, fled in a stolen vehicle and died in a crash along Interstate 576 in South Fayette. State Police are investigating, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the County Police Tip Line.

    Over in Castle Shannon, a tragedy overnight as a house fire on Corbett Drive claimed the life of a 19-year-old and left a woman hospitalized. Police say the fire was intentionally set, and the investigation is ongoing. Our thoughts are with the families affected by this loss.

    Turning to news from City Hall, Pittsburgh’s City Council is still at odds over new inclusionary zoning measures. The debate is heated, with stakeholders divided over how to balance affordable housing and continued development. The outcome could have big implications for neighborhoods across the city, especially in East End and Lawrenceville, where housing prices keep climbing.

    On the business front, a mix of openings and changes keeps our neighborhoods lively. The Strip District welcomes a new food hall on Smallman Street, featuring several local chefs debuting creative concepts. Meanwhile, a longtime family bakery in Garfield is closing its doors after 45 years, citing increased rent and changing tastes. Over in South Side, a new tech startup is hiring for more than 30 roles, particularly in software engineering and marketing, giving a boost to this month’s job market.

    There’s a shakeup for outdoors enthusiasts. Today marks the start of expanded Sunday hunting statewide, after the decades-old ban was repealed this summer. Hunters can add an extra ten Sundays to their season, but must still follow all posted rules on private and public land. Some state parks will allow Sunday hunting on certain dates only.

    On the real estate beat, home values inch upwards, but listings citywide remain about ten percent below last year’s numbers. It’s a competitive market, especially for first-time buyers in neighborhoods like Greenfield and Mount Washington.

    Looking ahead, downtown is gearing up for the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival. The event runs through Tuesday, drawing top acts to Market Square and the Cultural District. Food truck roundups return Thursday evening near Point State Park, and family day at the Carnegie Science Center is tomorrow afternoon.

    For a bit of good news, an animal rescue in Tarentum just installed a 24-7 microchip scanner. Early this morning, they reunited a lost beagle with his family after months apart—a nice reminder of how small gestures can make a big difference in our community.

    That’s the pulse of our city this Sunday. We hope you enjoy the sunshine and stay safe wherever the day takes you. Thanks for tuning in. Remember to subscribe so you never miss an update.

  • "Sunny Skies, Thriving City: A Saturday Update from Pittsburgh Local Pulse"

    "Sunny Skies, Thriving City: A Saturday Update from Pittsburgh Local Pulse"
    2025/09/13
    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Saturday, September 13th, 2025.

    We wake up today under sunny skies with a stretch of dry weather that just keeps rolling. First Alert Meteorologist Trey Fulbright tells us our daytime highs will reach the low 80s, with crisp, comfortable air—perfect for an early fall weekend around the ‘Burgh. Our overnight lows dip into the mid-50s, so if you’ve got that morning jog or trip to the Strip District planned, it’s going to feel great. Rain isn’t on the horizon for at least another week, so keep watering those thirsty lawns and gardens.

    The top story this morning is the city’s ongoing response to the devastating Jefferson Apartments fire in Squirrel Hill. Mayor Ed Gainey has declared a local disaster emergency after Tuesday’s fire left dozens of residents without a home, forcing the immediate demolition of the entire building. Most who lived there have lost everything, and the city is now activating emergency management plans to deliver aid and help these neighbors recover. If you or someone you know was affected, city officials urge reaching out for federal and state assistance as recovery operations ramp up.

    A major development from City Hall will likely impact how many of us get around. PennDOT has just approved Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s request to use up to one hundred and seven million dollars from state capital funds to avoid drastic service cuts and layoffs. Just a few days ago, the prospect of a 35 percent cut in transit service, elimination of dozens of routes, and increased fares seemed locked in for February. Now, transit leaders say this emergency move will keep buses running, protect jobs, and buy time for a sustainable funding plan. Still, officials warn this is only a two-year fix if Harrisburg doesn’t act on new funding.

    Let’s take a stroll over to the Strip District, where the local restaurant Fet-Fisk just landed on Bon Appétit’s list of the 20 best new restaurants in the country—quite a nod for our city’s vibrant food scene. Meanwhile, people heading out for the Steelers home opener this weekend at Acrisure Stadium can look forward to some wild new menu items, like the Franco Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza and the Pierogi Pileup.

    Across southwestern Pennsylvania, it’s Friday night lights season: regional high school football scores are coming in, with strong showings from local teams keeping the spirit high for our student-athletes. And while the Pirates dropped a tight one to the Nationals, six to five, fans at PNC Park got a show all the way to the final inning.

    Turning to the job market and real estate, hiring remains steady in the health, tech, and logistics sectors, with hundreds of new listings in Allegheny County this week. On the real estate front, home prices are holding around a median of three hundred twenty thousand across city neighborhoods, with a handful of new developments announced along Liberty Avenue and in South Side Flats.

    For those looking for something to do, the annual Phantom Fall Fest launches at Kennywood, bringing spooky fun for all ages starting tonight. Plus, there’s a Radiothon running through Sunday benefiting UPMC Children’s Hospital, which last year raised over a million dollars for families in our community.

    A quick check on public safety—in the past 24 hours, Pittsburgh police have responded to several calls but report no major violent incidents within city limits overnight. There is an alert for drivers: police filed charges against a motorist involved in a hit-and-run on Baum Boulevard near Liberty Avenue, urging anyone with information to come forward.

    And to leave you with something uplifting, WDVE and UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation are partnering on that Radiothon, and already Pittsburghers are showing up in droves to help—just another reminder of how our city rallies when it matters most.

    Thank you for tuning in to Pittsburgh Local Pulse. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a beat in our city. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • "Pittsburgh Local Pulse: Sunny Skies, Zoning Reforms, and a Resilient Community"

    "Pittsburgh Local Pulse: Sunny Skies, Zoning Reforms, and a Resilient Community"
    2025/09/12
    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Friday, September 12, 2025.

    We start our day with mostly sunny skies over the city, and while the streak of dry weather continues, temperatures today will climb to the low 80s. If you’re heading out, plan on a warm afternoon and keep those water bottles handy, as there’s still no significant rain expected for several more days. Our lawns may be looking thirsty, but this weather is perfect for any Friday or weekend outdoor plans.

    Breaking news has the city in conversation as the fire at the Jefferson Apartments in Squirrel Hill earlier this week keeps making waves. Officials and neighbors are rekindling concerns about older buildings without adequate sprinkler systems, with local businesses nearby still feeling the pinch from the temporary slow-down and emergency response. City inspectors and council members say they’re pushing for a review of building safety codes to better protect tenants moving forward.

    City Hall has been busy this week as council wrapped heated debates about sweeping zoning reforms. The focus is on making housing more affordable and accessible across Pittsburgh. New rules push for inclusionary zoning, meaning more affordable units must be added in new developments, and minimum parking requirements are being pulled back to cut costs. Urban planning experts believe this will help lower construction prices and create more housing choices, but some council voices say it needs to go further to keep long-term residents from being priced out. Either way, the measure now has solid public support and is expected to make an impact, especially in neighborhoods like Lawrenceville and Bloomfield.

    Shifting to our job market and business scene, PNC Bank is making headlines after announcing a four billion dollar acquisition of FirstBank. Experts see this as a move that could add banking jobs here in the region over the next year. In retail, Sheetz has been named the second-best employer in the nation for retail workers, and Wawa is inching closer to western Pennsylvania, stirring up the battle of the convenience store giants. Local favorite Poulet Bleu is set to reopen in Lawrenceville on October 21, a hopeful sign for Pittsburgh’s restaurant comeback.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, Kennywood kicks off Phantom Fright Fest tonight at six, promising spooky fun for families. Steelers fans can get a behind-the-scenes look at the team’s entrance tunnel at the new 1933 Club inside Acrisure Stadium. There’s music in the air as Pittsburgh native Jeff Goldblum returns with his jazz band to celebrate the new airport terminal, and the city is abuzz with the medical drama The Pitt still filming and seeking paid extras.

    In sports, though the Pirates suffered a close 3-2 loss to Baltimore yesterday, bringing their losing streak to six, there’s hope as local football and school teams are back in action. Pitt’s Eli Holstein wowed fans with four touchdown passes in a 45-17 victory over the Chippewas. School spirit is high—local districts report strong showings in robotics competitions and increasing interest in STEM clubs.

    On the real estate front, home prices are stable but high, with the city still feeling a squeeze on deeply affordable units. City planners say new zoning changes could gradually open up opportunities for more housing and cool off the rapid rent increases we’ve seen, especially in areas like Oakland.

    Turning to crime and safety, no major incidents have been reported in the city overnight, but police are urging vigilance as crews clean up after a string of petty thefts in the South Side. The mood remains somber after last week’s shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk while outside the city, impacting discussions about community safety everywhere.

    And finally, for a feel-good moment, hundreds of volunteers honored 9/11 by lovingly cleaning headstones at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies—a powerful reminder of community and sacrifice that brings us all together.
