 Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Sunday, November 2, 2025.

We're starting the day under mostly cloudy skies, with scattered showers possible by midday. Temperatures will climb into the upper 50s, so pack a raincoat if you’re heading out. Expect drier weather to return this evening, before a chilly, but clear, start to the workweek.

Turning to breaking news overnight, Pittsburgh police responded to a shots-fired call on the 1200 block of Nolan Court in Homewood North at 4 a.m. Officers say two men argued outside, and after one retreated indoors, the other fired several rounds into the home. Thankfully, only minor injuries were reported, but our Mobile Crime Unit is on scene and the investigation continues. If you’re around Homewood, stay alert as police increase their presence in the area.

Elsewhere, a two-alarm fire early this morning on Hillsboro Avenue in Sheraden brought out both fire and police crews. Officials are still working to determine the cause, and no major injuries have been reported. In Buffalo Township, tragedy struck yesterday afternoon at Younkins and South Pike roads, where a three-vehicle crash claimed two lives and left two others injured. First responders urge caution as wet weather continues to impact road safety this weekend.

From City Hall, big debates are underway as councilmember Theresa Kail-Smith proposes a partial hiring and spending freeze to help stabilize city finances. Mayor Ed Gainey is making affordable housing a priority, with council scrutinizing his budget as the primary election approaches. Meanwhile, legislation to bring more public bathrooms downtown is earning early support, and new trash rules could mean fines for those not storing garbage properly.

Bakery Square is set for a major $500 million expansion, recently approved by city council. This project promises hundreds of new jobs and more apartments in Larimer and Point Breeze, adding fresh energy to our east side neighborhoods. In business news, Shake Shack continues to expand in the region, while the Community Supermarket in Heights Plaza will close by month's end. Heritage Valley Health System’s merger with Allegheny Health Network is moving ahead, which will mean better care for patients across the metro.

On the job front, unemployment continues to hover near 4 percent, and real estate agents say home rentals near major sports venues—especially with the NFL Draft returning in 2026—are seeing a spike, with some properties renting for over three thousand dollars a month.

For culture lovers, Michael Keaton was spotted in the Strip this week for the inaugural Pittsburgh Walk of Fame induction, drawing star-studded crowds. At the Children's Museum, the exhibit “Aim High: Soaring with the Tuskegee Airmen” celebrates African Americans in aviation—worth a visit if you’ve got kids. Local music fans have Limp Bizkit’s upcoming show and Morgan Wallen’s announced tour date at Acrisure Stadium to look forward to.

School news brings a standout for Pitt football: Freshman Mason Heintschel threw for a record 304 yards and three touchdowns, lifting Pitt to a strong win over Stanford at Acrisure Stadium. On the ice, the Penguins fell 5-2 to Winnipeg Saturday night, and local high school teams gear up for playoffs next week.

As always, giving back is part of the Pittsburgh story. The KDKA Turkey Fund launches its 44th season, providing Thanksgiving meals for neighbors in need. And we’d like to highlight the work of folks at the Emma Munson Foundation, handing out free Halloween costumes to keep her memory alive and help brighten the holiday for area children.
