Pothole Villain Returns, Walmart Eyes Bloomfield & Book Deli Debuts

Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description

Walmart wants to turn the former Bloomfield Rite Aid into a delivery hub, the Steelers are replacing a ton of seats at Acrisure Stadium (and making some interesting aesthetic choices in the process), and the notorious owner of Pittsburgh Mills mall is taking over a Downtown centerpiece. Host Megan Harris and executive producer Mallory Falk break down the latest development news, with help from contributor and City Paper managing editor Colin Williams.


Then former newsletter editor Francesca Dabecco joins the show for a new segment rounding up the events we're most excited to check out this week, from a tattoo mini-convention to a new store that sells books by the pound.
