A local teacher was left out of America’s latest prisoner swap with Russia, but his family isn’t giving up. Seven vending machines filled with free Narcan are popping up across the county, and Pittsburgh’s alcohol-free scene is more vibrant than ever. Plus, how a certain mayor added to the VP announcement drama.
We always cite our sources:
- The mayor of Philadelphia posted a video last week calling for people to support “vice president Josh Shapiro,” but one source said this isn’t a formal announcement about Harris’ running mate.
- Oakmont resident Marc Fogel was left out of the US’ prisoner swap with Russia, and he shared how he’s feeling with his family.
- Vending machines filled with free Narcan are popping up around Allegheny County, and Prevention Point offers more harm reduction resources and instructions on how to administer Narcan.
- Looking for more alcohol-free spaces in the city? Stage AE recently introduced its sober sanctuary, and the Open Road is moving to Garfield.
