It’s the Friday news roundup! A new study found Pennsylvanians eat dinner surprisingly early so we asked yinz what time you eat. Big layoffs and a store expansion put a spotlight on Dick’s Sporting Goods this week. Plus, Duquesne City School District could get its high school back — which may bode well for other schools still struggling financially from our unconstitutional funding formula.
