 Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Monday, November 24th, and we’re jumping right in with the weekend’s biggest headlines.

Downtown was electric on Saturday night as thousands packed the city for Light Up Night, but the festive glow was interrupted by a series of fights around Wood Street, Forbes Avenue, and Market Square. Pittsburgh police responded swiftly, issuing 18 non-traffic citations and arresting three people. They kept the peace as crowds lingered after midnight, and while most of us enjoyed the fireworks and tree lightings, it was clear public safety teams were working hard behind the scenes. For families attending the event, like Julie Lloyd’s crew, it was a first chance in years to take in the bridges and sparkling holiday displays and reminisce about proposals under the lights. Unusually, the popular holiday market was not inside Market Square this year due to continuing construction, which contributed to some of the crowd control challenges. City officials promise more updates as they plan for the next big downtown celebration.

If you’re heading out today, bundle up. Unseasonably chilly air is rolling in, with clouds and a chance of stray showers making things brisk by the rivers. No major snow is expected yet, but you’ll want a jacket if you have early appointments. Looking ahead, temperatures are set to dip further tonight, so it’s hot drinks season for sure.

Elsewhere in the city, a tense police chase unfolded Saturday night on Chester Avenue in the North Side, after a ShotSpotter alert drew officers to the scene. The high-speed pursuit ended with two suspects in custody and one still at large after their vehicle crashed into a home on North Charles Street. Thankfully, no residents were hurt in the incident. In Middle Hill, a bullet struck an occupied home on Perry Street Sunday evening. Police are investigating, but again, no injuries were reported.

Turning to real estate, the market has been steady. Edgewood saw a notable transaction, with Ryan Wilk selling property for around a hundred thousand dollars. This keeps up the trend of modest but consistent movement on Pittsburgh’s east side. If you’re job hunting, several local companies are quietly adding staff, especially in healthcare and logistics—positions are open now for drivers, lab techs, and warehouse clerks. Check local listings as holiday demand ramps up.

On the sports front, a tough outing for the Steelers, who lost 31 to 28 against the Bears this weekend. Analysts are picking apart the defense and late turnovers, but there’s plenty of heart left in the season. High school highlights include the Allderdice Dragons basketball team kicking off with a strong win at their home gym and a big robotics tournament at Pittsburgh Science and Technology Academy, where local teams made regional headlines.

Arts and entertainment get a boost this week, with the Pittsburgh Symphony hosting their annual holiday pops concerts starting Wednesday night at Heinz Hall. Meanwhile, Squirrel Hill’s new bookstore opens a cozy nook for author signings and children’s storytelling, just in time for the Thanksgiving rush.

For a dose of good news, dozens of volunteers teamed up in the South Side to hand-pack Thanksgiving meal kits for families in need. Their goal: deliver more than two hundred dinners by Thursday morning.

And as we wrap up, don’t forget the city’s ongoing mayoral race is heating up, with candidate forums set for later this week. These meetings are a great chance for us to ask questions about development, public safety, and transportation—issues that shape our daily life.
