It’s the Friday news roundup! Freelancer and City Cast contributor Meg St-Esprit joins City Cast’s Megan Harris and Mallory Falk to talk about increased tourism in the Strip District and Downtown and a new state law that could lead to more armed security guards in schools. Plus, they share their astonishment over how much trash is in our rivers and learn about a famous Pittsburgh architect whose mid-century modern dream homes are on the market (for enormous price tags).
We always cite our sources:
• A recent Allegheny River dredge dug up 50,000 pounds of car parts (triblive.com/l...) - possibly from a long-gone Downtown parking lot.
• The Strip District will possibly double the number of visits (www.pittsburgh...) over the next couple years.
• A new bill tied to the state budget (www.inquirer.c...) requires one security officer per district to be trained and licensed to carry a gun, but the district can decide whether or not to have the officer bring it into the school.
• Wondering what else is part of this year’s PA state budget? Check out our interview (pittsburgh.cit...) with City Cast Philly host Trenae Nuri and Spotlight PA reporter Stephen Caruso.
• The Catholic schools in the Diocese of Pittsburgh hired six armed guards (triblive.com/l...) and a few security officers this year.
• A Shadyside house by the famous architect and brief protege of Frank Lloyd Wright (www.pittsburgh...) , Tasso Katselas, is up for sale.
