| What Else Pittsburgh's Talking About |
| 🧪 Appalachian Hydrogen Hub Opens | The $925 million ARCH2 hub held its grand opening in Morgantown. It’s billed as a climate solution, since hydrogen emits zero carbon dioxide, but locals are discouraged by the lack of transparency. [Allegheny Front] | | | | 🦠 Links Between Covid & Climate Change | Covid cases are on the rise, and unfortunately for Allegheny County residents, respiratory viruses are worsened by poor air quality. Pitt’s Dr. Maureen Lichtveld is studying how our region is impacted by industry, warming temperatures, and airborne illnesses. [PublicSource] | | | 🚧 Broad Street Revamp Begins | A $1.2 million refresh of the .3-acre plaza at Highland and Broad in East Liberty is underway. The new, fully-accessible square will include native, drought-resistant plants, moveable furniture, and space for small events and concerts. [NEXTpittsburgh] | | 📝 Renowned Poetry Event To Return | After a 15-year hiatus, there’s a new season of the International Poetry Forum in Pittsburgh, starting with a reading by founder Samuel Hazo, Pennsylvania’s first poet laureate, on Sept. 15 at the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall.

Most Pittsburgh pools are now only open on the weekends. | | Here’s your reminder that ice cream season IS NOT OVER 🍦 Get a treat from these shops in the ‘burbs, grab a dairy-free cone at some of my recommended spots, or blend the seasons with Page’s fall flavors available on Sept. 8 🍁 | | And if you were sad about Dave & Andy’s closing, there’s good news: It’s reopening Sept. 7! | | ⛱️ Stay cool! |
