It’s a heated election in a divided town, but in Springdale neighbors still say, ‘Love you’

For a few minutes around lunchtime Tuesday, much of the political spectrum met outside an Allegheny Valley polling place. There was disagreement — and neighborly kindness. Kailyn Wood arrived first and sat down at a picnic table to do some last-minute research on her phone. What did the Home Rule Charter referendum do? She scrolled through news articles for a couple minutes until Jim Dietz walked up with his dog, Stewart.

Pittsburgh City Paper launches program to turn old newspaper distribution boxes into public art

Pittsburgh City Paper has launched its “Adopt a Box” program, converting former newspaper distribution boxes into public art pieces across local neighborhoods. Many of the boxes had been discarded after the publication temporarily suspended operations at the start of the year.
