😱😱😱

Maybe Inside Pittsburgh should follow @inside_LA_’s lead and do a bad parking segment.

Let me just put my blinkers on and park in the bike lane, on a street that is already under construction, while I go into a building down the block for a bit. 🙄

Grab the tissues for this story.

A Florida woman whose dog went missing 12 year ago was found recently in Carnegie — about 1,000 miles away from where the dog first went missing!!

The woman and her dog were reunited today at the @HARSavesLives.

“And, to me at least, that is what made Blass special. During broadcasts, Blass always seemed like he was having fun.”

“He joined the Pirates as an announcer in 1983. For many Pirate fans, myself included, his continued optimism and jovial personality in the booth made the games fun, even when the on-field product wasn’t very good,” David writes.

4 stabbings did occur Downtown this Aug. But coverage spiked following a July letter from Cultural Trust that set a narrative a crime was already here.

Each stabbing got coverage and mentioned the letter, but why didn’t we have the same coverage in 2016? https://t.co/3sREV3XwFM

Chronicling summer’s Downtown PGH “crime wave” that actually wasn’t.

For example, in Aug 2016 there were 2x as many assaults & 7x as many robberies in Downtown as this Aug. But in Aug 2016 there were virtually no local stories about a crime problem https://t.co/3sREV3XwFM
