It’s the Friday news roundup! Heinz Field is back in the Burgh (or just barely north of it), there’s a beautifully local backstory behind the @pgh_scanner Twitter account, and Chomper may be out of the Kiski, but the Steel City still has a wild and wonderful history with stray reptiles.

- Francesca wrote all about Pgh’s fascination with alligators for the Hey Pittsburgh newsletter
- City Paper wrote about @pgh_scanner and how it got started
