22 APR 2025 · Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 22. We start our day with a quick update on the weather. Expect a chilly morning with clouds and a few scattered showers still lingering from last night’s cold front, especially north of Route 422 and the Turnpike. Roads could be slick in those spots, so take it easy on your morning commute. By midday, we’ll get some sun poking through, with highs reaching the upper 40s. It looks like spring’s taking its time to settle in, but we should see a gradual warming trend toward the weekend.
Our top news this morning is a developing story out of East Liberty. Just before 1 a.m., police responded to reports of gunfire near North Euclid Avenue and East Liberty Boulevard. A 16-year-old boy suffered a graze wound to the head but is in stable condition at the hospital. Police recovered shell casings on Borland Street, and a nearby home was hit by bullets. Fortunately, no other injuries were reported. The investigation is ongoing, with officers working to obtain video footage, but so far, no arrests have been made. Public safety remains a priority, and anyone with information should contact city police.
In business news, we’re seeing a little turbulence in the local job market. The latest industrial real estate report shows Pittsburgh’s industrial sector took a slight downturn in the first quarter, despite several new leases being signed in the region. With shifting tariffs and economic pressure, some companies are treading carefully, but there are still opportunities as new spaces open up around town. Meanwhile, local farmers are encouraging us all to shop regional, supporting neighbors and keeping our dollars close to home, especially with food costs still unsettled by global events.
On the real estate front, while the industrial numbers are a bit softer, residential neighborhoods remain steady. No major developments announced overnight, but the steady demand for homes near downtown and along the rivers continues to shape our cityscape.
For our community calendar, the Pittsburgh Technology Council welcomes new members this Thursday at their Lawrenceville office. If you’re new to the tech scene, this is a great networking opportunity. Also, registration has just opened for the 2025 Great Race, our beloved fall run through the city, so check that out if you’re looking for fitness goals.
Turning to sports, all eyes are on the high school baseball diamond today. Pine-Richland hosts Shaler in a battle for first place in Section 3-5A. Shaler leads with a perfect section record, but Pine-Richland is right behind with just one loss this season and plenty of momentum. Local talent shines, with New Castle’s Keara Mangieri making headlines for hitting three homers in a single game this week.
On a lighter note, the U.S. Steel eaglet is growing fast, and the community is preparing to name the new arrival—always a favorite springtime tradition here.
That’s a wrap for today’s local updates. This has been Pittsburgh Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

19 APR 2025 · Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Saturday, April 19, 2025.
We start with breaking news out of Shadyside, where a tragic incident inside a UPMC parking garage left one woman dead on Thursday afternoon. Police have not released further details, but the investigation is ongoing, and we’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available. Meanwhile, there are no major public safety alerts for our city this morning, though recent reports of shots fired into a Pittsburgh home have authorities remaining vigilant and reminding us all to keep an eye out for our neighbors.
In statewide news with local impact, Pennsylvania is responding to a measles outbreak with public health teams stepping up vaccination efforts, and city schools are cooperating with officials to keep our kids safe and healthy. Speaking of our schools, local students are heading into finals season, and one elementary school on the North Side is celebrating after its robotics team clinched first place in a regional competition this week, drawing praise from district leaders.
On the weather front, our recent unseasonable warmth continues. Yesterday, we saw highs in the low 80s, feeling more like Memorial Day than Easter weekend. Today, we expect mostly sunny skies with afternoon highs again near 80. If you’re headed outdoors, remember to stay hydrated, and if you plan to stay out into the evening, pack a light jacket as temps will dip into the upper 50s.
Turning to city hall, council members are in discussions about new zoning rules that could affect short-term rentals citywide, especially around the Strip District and Lawrenceville. Local residents are being asked for input at upcoming town halls. These decisions could reshape neighborhoods and influence everything from rent prices to parking.
On the jobs front, Pittsburgh’s unemployment rate remains steady, hovering around four percent. Local manufacturing is seeing some new hires, and tech firms downtown are still seeking engineers and project managers. In real estate, the median home price in Allegheny County stands just under 250,000 dollars, up slightly from last month, with the East End and Mount Washington seeing the biggest gains in demand.
It’s a packed weekend for events. Today at Schenley Plaza, the 50501 Movement and Stand Up for Science will host an Earth Day rally from one to three in the afternoon, drawing together activists, researchers, and families for speeches and music. Over in the Cultural District, the Three Rivers Beer Week just wrapped up, shining a light on our local craft breweries, though some are feeling the squeeze from new tariffs. Still, the turnout offered a reminder of how much Pittsburghers cherish our homegrown beers.
On the sports front, the Pirates are back at PNC Park facing the Reds tonight. The Penguins are gearing up for a crucial game tomorrow as they battle for a playoff spot. And the Pitt Panthers’ spring practice is drawing crowds, with optimism in the air for a strong season ahead.
A quick feel-good story to close: Hosanna House in Wilkinsburg has kicked off its spring cleaning and improvement drive, engaging hundreds of volunteers to help prepare for summer camps that will serve thousands of local kids.

17 APR 2025 · Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Thursday, April 17, 2025.
As we get our day started, we want to let drivers know about big changes near Forbes Avenue and Braddock Avenue. Beginning this morning, the city is rolling out a new traffic pattern at this busy intersection. Inbound lanes on Forbes will be reduced to one as outbound lanes shift north. There are now upgraded traffic signals, a dedicated bus lane, and extended bike paths, all part of a larger effort to improve safety for all of us who use this route every day. So, if you travel through that area, give yourself a few extra minutes and pay attention to the new setup.
Turning to the weather, it’s a beautiful morning with temperatures headed for the mid-60s. Skies will be bright with just a few passing clouds, making it perfect for getting outside or checking out events around town. The nice stretch of weather should hold through the weekend.
In city news, the overtime budgets for several city departments are running thin earlier than expected this year, which could mean reduced availability for some non-essential services as spring rolls on. City Hall is working on solutions, but we may see some changes in service hours or response times.
For a taste of tradition, today is the grand reopening of Gus and YiaYia’s ice ball stand in Allegheny Commons Park. Mike Spanos is keeping the legacy alive after the passing of longtime owner Gus Kalaris. The orange cart will be serving from 11:30 to 6, and the Parks Conservancy is planting a tree nearby to honor Gus’s contributions to the North Side community.
On the real estate front, more homeowners are turning to local companies to sell quickly and avoid foreclosure, with hundreds helped just this year. If you’re looking to make a move, keep an eye out for some creative solutions in our market.
For those seeking work, several area employers are actively hiring this week as spring brings new opportunities. From service industry roles downtown to openings at local healthcare providers and tech firms, job seekers are finding more options than in recent months.
Let’s take a look at community happenings. This weekend, there’s a full lineup on the cultural calendar. The musical “Some Like It Hot” is drawing crowds, a Bowie tribute is set for Friday, and the Phipps spring flower show wraps up Sunday. For families, there’s an Eggcellent Celebration, and the Pittsburgh Gun Show returns to the Monroeville Convention Center next weekend.
On the sports front, the Avonworth baseball team continues its hot streak, racking up impressive double-digit wins. Also, Penguins defenseman Kris Letang underwent a successful procedure and is expected back next season.
In public safety, police responded to gunshots fired into a home in Marshall-Shadeland overnight. No injuries were reported, and the investigation is ongoing. At the airport, TSA stopped a Sewickley man carrying a loaded handgun and 30 rounds in his bag. He faces a stiff penalty and a reminder to double-check before traveling.
And as a feel-good story, the National Aviary just welcomed a new Andean condor, bringing hope for species conservation and delight for visitors of all ages.

City Council President Dan Lavelle is leading the charge to boost benefits for workers, a move that could affect thousands of families across the region.
In a tragic development from over the weekend, a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 376 westbound resulted in two fatalities and two injuries. Traffic in that area has returned to normal, but our thoughts are with the families and victims impacted by the accident.

Separately, detectives are investigating a late-night shooting in Lincoln-Lemington-Belmar, where a man was hospitalized in critical condition. Authorities are working closely with the District Attorney’s office to determine next steps.
On a lighter note, the Pittsburgh Pirates thrilled fans last night with an offensive explosion in their win against the Nationals, setting season highs in both runs and hits.
