  • 4th of July Celebrations, Storms, and Local News Roundup
    2025/07/03
    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Thursday, July 3, 2025. We are heading into a holiday weekend with excitement building all across the city. If you’re downtown, you’ll notice the North Shore gearing up early for one of our area’s signature Fourth of July celebrations. The city’s festivities kick off at 4 p.m. today with music and kid-friendly fun on the Great Lawn. Food trucks are already rolling up along North Shore Drive. Remember, this year’s fireworks won’t be at Point State Park due to ongoing construction. Instead, look to the North Shore for the main display, set to light up the sky at 9:35 p.m. tomorrow night. Brentwood is already lining up chairs along Brownsville Road for their annual parade, and campgrounds across western Pennsylvania are filling up quickly for the weekend.

    A quick look at the weather today—a classic Pittsburgh summer pattern sets in. We’ve got warm temps, high humidity, and hit-or-miss afternoon storms in the forecast. If you’re heading to outdoor events or fireworks, keep an eye on the sky and be prepared for sudden downpours. This stormy pattern is likely to continue through the Fourth, so plan accordingly.

    Turning to breaking news, there’s been an arrest overnight—Mitchell Johnson faces new charges including aggravated assault and resisting arrest. In safer news, a fire in Green Tree yesterday left three injured, including a firefighter, but all are expected to recover. Our police blotter notes three burglary suspects facing charges after a break-in at a vape shop in Brentwood. Authorities are also investigating a heartbreaking case in Fayette County after the death of a dog left outdoors.

    At city hall, the latest council meetings focus on development that will shape our neighborhoods. A bill approving expansion for the Neighborhood Academy in the 10th Ward sailed through after public testimony highlighted the need for more educational options for families. And council is advancing changes to increase the amount of paid sick leave employees can accumulate, a move applauded by workers’ advocates.

    In business news, Giant Eagle is adjusting after acquiring prescription files from nearly 80 Rite Aid locations. Customers may experience longer waits at pharmacies as the transition takes place. Over in East Liberty and Bakery Square, zoning changes coming soon could open the door for more mixed-use development, bringing new job opportunities and housing options.

    Pittsburgh’s job market is steady. Unemployment hovers just below 4 percent, with strong demand for healthcare workers and skilled trades. Real estate remains tight. The median home price in the city now sits just above $270,000. Inventory is low, with open houses drawing plenty of interest, especially in neighborhoods like Lawrenceville and Point Breeze.

    On the sports front, the Pirates are hot, just completing a three-game sweep of the Cardinals. Mitch Keller recorded his second straight win, and our pitchers have notched 31 consecutive scoreless innings—something we haven’t seen in a decade.

    For families, don’t miss Avalon’s Community Day coming up Sunday, July 6, with its own fireworks show at Avalon Community Park. And a special shoutout to students at the Neighborhood Academy on North Aiken Avenue, who are celebrating news of their school’s upcoming expansion.

    To wrap up, our feel-good story: on the banks of a local beaver dam, first responders rescued a stranded dog, returning the pup safely home to its grateful family.

  • Penguins Trade Up, Horcoff Shines; Juneteenth Celebrations, Rubber Duck Return to Pittsburgh
    2025/06/28
    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Saturday, June 28th, 2025. We wake up to some breaking sports excitement: the Penguins have made headlines overnight by trading their 31st and 59th draft picks to the Los Angeles Kings, moving up to secure Michigan standout Will Horcoff as the 24th overall pick. Horcoff stands at six-foot-five and his mix of size and skill has fans buzzing about the team’s future up front.

    Turning to local news, police are investigating an early morning shooting on Churchland Street. A man was hospitalized after being found with a gunshot wound to the head. There’s also been a recent carjacking near East Liberty involving five teenagers and a chase, which ended in several arrests. In Downtown, a convenience store employee is recovering after being stabbed while preventing a theft. Local authorities remind us to remain vigilant while they step up neighborhood patrols.

    City Hall met this week and finalized an extension for the city’s wellness portal contract, allocating an additional eighty thousand dollars and ensuring expanded health services for municipal workers. Council also approved a plan revision affecting zoning in several neighborhoods, signaling more community input is coming soon.

    Weather will play a big role in our weekend plans. We can expect a mix of clouds and sun with scattered afternoon storms, so keep an umbrella handy if you’re heading to Oakmont for the U.S. Open, where the world’s best golfers are taking on a course that’s already living up to its reputation for challenge.

    There’s a festive feeling around the city as we continue the monthlong Juneteenth celebration with events downtown and in the Hill District, highlighting African American heritage and bringing families together with live music, food, and art. Also back, the World’s Largest Rubber Duck has returned to our rivers, drawing crowds and plenty of smiles. On the music front, the South Side is gearing up for a weekend of local bands and outdoor performances from Market Square up to the North Shore.

    In real estate, median home prices in the city have leveled off, hovering near three hundred thousand dollars, and new listings in neighborhoods like Lawrenceville and Bloomfield are drawing steady interest. Meanwhile, job opportunities remain strong as several tech firms announce expansions in Bakery Square, adding dozens of positions in IT, support, and administration.

    A quick shout-out to our Pittsburgh Public Schools: the district received a generous fifty thousand dollar donation from Pat McAfee, Wiz Khalifa, and Snoop Dogg to support student enrichment programs. And for a feel-good moment, three abandoned puppies rescued near the Five Star Trail are recovering and expected to be up for adoption soon, thanks to the tireless work of local volunteers.

    Looking ahead, community events abound: don’t miss the farmers market in Squirrel Hill Sunday morning, and be sure to check out tonight’s open-air movie in Schenley Plaza.
