Good morning, Pittsburgh.

After years of decline, Pittsburgh added over 2,900 residents since 2023 and now grows faster than its once booming suburbs — a reversal that signals renewed local strength.

A PennDOT truck was hit during little removal on I‑279 southbound near the Mt. Nebo exit on Saturday morning — part of Parkway North was shut down for about an hour before one lane reopened by 8:30 a.m. while Pennsylvania State Police investigated the incident.

Most of southbound I-279 was closed on May 17th at 8:10 a.m.—a crash involving a PennDOT vehicle triggered the shutdown near Pittsburgh.

VaultArt Studio in Bloomfield kicked off a busy season with nine in-house shows featuring work by artists with disabilities.

The gallery is open from April to December—providing a new platform for local creative talent.

Three Pittsburgh-area educators have been named finalists for the 2026 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year award, including Pittsburgh Public teacher Katherine Blandino-Nienhuis—further details about the selection process are expected to be released later.

Former Patriots defensive lineman Lawrence Guy is a free agent who wants to sign with the Steelers—he said on Good Morning Football that he loves their team and expects to add veteran strength to a deep defense.

The Steelers will use DK Metcalf as their main receiver after trading George Pickens to the Cowboys last week+ team film study shows that coaches are finding ways to help him improve for upcoming games.

Fans gathered on Friday night at Highmark Stadium to see the Riveters play their first game, which ended in a 0-0 draw against the Cleveland Force.

Community members are excited by the addition of women’s soccer — the Riveters will host their next home game on May 30.

During the Steelers’ Week 8 game against the Packers in 2023, tickets averaged $454+ driven by fan interest linked to Aaron Rodgers’ anticipated return, and reports noted he was set to sign with Pittsburgh.
