 Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Saturday, October eighteenth. We’re starting our weekend with clear skies, crisp fall air, and plenty to talk about across our city.First, a quick look at our weather. We wake up to cool temperatures in the low fifties, heading for a comfortable high in the upper sixties by afternoon. Sunlight will linger over much of the city, perfect for getting out to enjoy some fresh autumn air. Tomorrow, we’ll see clouds build and a stronger cold front move in, possibly bringing storms and a noticeable drop to highs in the low sixties, so today is the prime day for fall outings, leaf peeping, or hitting a pumpkin patch before conditions get damp.Turning to breaking news from overnight, emergency crews responded to a shooting on Chicago Street in Northview Heights late Friday night. A man was found with a gunshot wound to the abdomen behind a house. Thanks to quick action, he’s now in critical but stable condition at the hospital. Police are reviewing security footage and asking anyone who was near Northview Heights last night to come forward with information. Our thoughts are with the victim’s family, and we’ll continue to follow this developing story.At City Hall, discussions about the upcoming budget and new housing initiatives are making waves. The city just launched a pilot home-buying program to help folks become first-time homeowners, featuring five city-owned properties for sale and extra incentives for qualified buyers. As always, the city’s website is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more or applying.In civic affairs, Pittsburgh is home to the nation’s longest-running labor strike, with Post-Gazette journalists marking three years on picket lines this weekend. Today, thousands are expected to gather at various “No Kings” rallies around the city, starting at the City-County Building on Grant Street before marching toward Mellon Square and other key downtown spots. Speakers include elected leaders and local union representatives, all united around the message of democratic values and the importance of worker rights. If you’re heading downtown, expect detours and give yourself extra time.Now for a quick pulse on our real estate market. With interest climbing from the city’s new homebuyer program, more than a dozen city homes went under contract last week, with average sale prices just above two hundred forty thousand dollars. In Pittsburgh’s vibrant job market, healthcare and tech firms remain top employers, and Point Park University announced plans to expand programming, which should bring new jobs to the Golden Triangle.Moving to community highlights, today’s annual Track and Treat event unfolds from noon to four at the Bud Harris Cycling Track in Highland Park. Kids can race their bikes in costume, collect treats, and take part in safety clinics—come out and join the fun. Meanwhile, registration just opened for the city’s popular gingerbread house competition, so dust off those baking skills if you want to participate this season.Let’s not forget school pride. Local high school football programs put on a show last night. Central Catholic held off North Allegheny in a tense matchup at Graham Field, staying undefeated and making the city proud. Several Pittsburgh public schools were also recognized this week for their academic improvement scores, a bright spot in our educational community.New business activity is also picking up in downtown Pittsburgh. Developers submitted applications this week for state funding to revive several vacant properties, including the storied Gulf Tower and the site of the old Pittsburgh Press building. If approved, these projects are expected to bring hundreds of jobs and new retail options to the city core.Before we go, here’s a feel-good story for your Saturday. Residents in Natrona Heights are working together to replant pawpaw trees, hoping to restore the population of the rare zebra swallowtail butterfly along the Allegheny River. It’s a pure Pittsburgh effort, blending community spirit, environmental restoration, and a dash of hometown pride.As always, public safety remains a priority. Outside Northview Heights, city police report a quiet night with few major incidents elsewhere. Still, we remind everyone to stay aware as you head out to weekend events, especially near rally locations and busy intersections.Thank you for tuning in to Pittsburgh Local Pulse.
