Episode Details

Brian Carothers talks with Chrissy Bates and Andrew Bannock, the horror fans behind the Save Monroeville Mall campaign. They explain why George Romero’s famous Dawn of the Dead location matters far beyond Pittsburgh and why they believe redevelopment should preserve its cinematic history.

The conversation covers Walmart, historic-landmark efforts, calls to Pennsylvania officials and what supporters can do before the mall becomes another memory. Zombies versus blue-light savings. Pittsburgh has chosen a side.
