It’s the Friday news roundup! City Cast contributor Meg St-Esprit joins the team to talk about how AI is changing the local real estate market – and what it was like to take a virtual reality tour of an iconic Pittsburgh mansion. We also discuss shifting norms around funerals and burials as the Pittsburgh region becomes less religious, and the city’s latest push to hire enough lifeguards to open our pools this summer. We always cite our sources: Read Meg’s reporting about the rise in non-religious funerals in PublicSource. Check out her story about how technology is changing the homebuying process in Pittsburgh Magazine. The City of Pittsburgh is officially recruiting lifeguards for the summer.
