Back to EpisodesPicklesburgh Gossip, Pricey Homes & Lanternflies Return
Published 8 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Anthrocon smashed records over the weekend, while Picklesburgh's in hot (or briny) water over using AI for its artwork. City Council squashed a proposal to let neighborhoods decide whether they want inclusionary zoning, and Pittsburgh International Airport is looking for volunteers to test out the new terminal. Host Megan Harris and executive producer Mallory Falk dive into these stories, plus share some of Pittsburgh's recent wins (national recognition!) and losses (the return of spotted lanternflies).
Sign up here to test drive the new airport terminal, and report spotted lanternfly sightings here.
