It’s the Friday news roundup! US Steel has reached a historic settlement in a lawsuit brought by Allegheny County and environmental groups. We found out what happened with the proposed volcano at a South Side restaurant. We discuss federal dollars coming to Pittsburgh and how flooding impacted our unhoused neighbors. And it’s Gertrude Stein’s 150th birthday.
We always cite our sources:
- Celebrate our groundhog overlord with some Phil Phacts.
- Yes, a South Side restaurant redesign proposal included a volcano. (but volcano or not, it serves one of our favorite mac and cheeses in Pittsburgh.)
- Learn about the settlement reached with US Steel. A study from 2021 looked at how nearby residents were impacted by the 2018 fire. WESA and the AP got into the specifics.
- You can read US Steel and PennEnvironment’s statements.
- The Trib covered the flooding of the Mon Wharf and the closure of the encampment. You can help some of the unhoused folks impacted.
- Scared of landslides? Us too! We talked about it on the pod.
- Explore the complicated life and legacy of Pittsburgh native Gertrude Stein.
