Good morning, Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh is preparing for the NFL Draft when community leaders and local groups launched the immaculate collection to clean up highways, neighborhoods, and the Three Rivers.

The drive began yesterday with a ceremonial trash toss and will include cleaning 100 miles of highways, planting trees, and hosting a trash toss challenge on social media—efforts that will keep our city looking its best.

Tuesday, a nearly century‐old apartment building on Forward Avenue in Squirrel Hill caught fire, taking more than four hours for firefighters to control and leaving tenants like Matthew Stock with only their basic items while the American Red Cross set up a shelter at Magee Recreation Center—city officials are coordinating relief as the building is slated for demolition.

Kennywood's Phantom Fall Fest will begin Friday night at 6 p.m. with four scare zones, six haunted houses, and a new haunt—Detached—that guides guests through a haunted toy shop.

The festival runs with family daytime activities and themed rides and food until November 1.

On Sept. 9, a Pennsylvania Lottery ticket sold at CoGo's on West Run Road in West Homestead matched all six numbers to win a $4.45 million jackpot.

The winning ticket holder has one year to claim the prize and the store will get a $10,000 bonus — lottery officials confirmed.

The Pittsburgh International Airport announced on Wednesday that it is adding a second public dress rehearsal for the new terminal—one test run is set for September 20—and will email instructions to participants and announce the new date in the coming weeks.

Audits by Pittsburgh and Allegheny County controllers found that the 911 call center had longer response times and did not have enough workers while EMS often took more than eight minutes on urgent calls.

They recommended boosting the staff to 275 and improving first responders' wellness programs—overtime remains high and delays continue.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will hear a challenge to the nearly 60-year-old Act 111 law today—this law stops courts from reviewing police discipline and may affect Pittsburgh and other cities.

Critics say the law allows officers accused of serious misconduct to return to work while supporters argue it prevents judicial overreach.

After a tough start in the 34—32 win over the Jets on Sunday, Steelers coaches studied film on Keeanu Benton’s assignment discipline and run defense problems.

They will use the insights to adjust strategies for better performance in upcoming games.

No. 7 Pitt defeated No. 3 Kentucky in straight sets at the Shriner’s Children’s Showdown in Fort Worth—each game ending 25-19, 25-22 and 25-23.

The Panthers will travel to Dayton on Friday to face Wright State on ESPN.

Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (9) was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after he kicked a 60-yard game-winning field goal and a 56-yard score (he was perfect on extra points), marking the fifth time he has earned the honor.
