from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast
It’s the Friday news roundup! The team is discussing plans to close the Downtown homeless shelter on Smithfield Street and the push to make part of Lake Erie a national marine sanctuary — because it has so many shipwrecks. Plus, we travel back in time to celebrate a radical Pittsburgh painter who shares a birthday with a member of our team. We love to cite our sources! Kiley Koscinski with WESA has done great reporting on the Smithfield Street shelter closure. Learn more about the proposal to designate Lake Erie as a national marine sanctuary. Check out the Hey Pittsburgh feature on the trailblazing painter Mary Cassatt. Take our survey!
