Check out his work at dashcam.bike We always cite our sources: Latrobe is now in the Banana Hall of Fame! Hear Monroeville Mayor Nick Gresock joyously telling us the convention center had been saved. The city paused its spay and neuter program last month, and it’s back, but there’s a catch. For now, it’s only for feral cats. Officials paused because they say suburbanites were faking city addresses. The South Hills is finally getting snow removal help with a new public works facility. Allegheny County Council voted 9-3 against passing a ceasefire resolution. Back in October, they passed a resolution “condemning Hamas and supporting justice and safety for the Israeli and Palestinian people.” Here’s the viral moment from Councilman Bob Macey.
