| New Entertainment Spot Coming To North Shore | Mic Drop will feature a robust craft cocktail program, “bandeoke,” dueling pianos, live performances, and curated DJ experiences. The new nightlife spot is created by Legacy Hospitality Partners, which also runs the nearby Shorty’s, SugarBird, and soon-to-open Highball Social Club. [Legacy] | | Bridge Demo & Replacement To Be Livestreamed | PennDOT will use hundreds of explosives to demolish the Commercial Street Bridge then slide a new bridge into its place — and you can watch the whole thing on a livestream. The agency hasn't set a date and time for the explosion, but the Parkway East closes tonight at 9 p.m. and will be shut down for 25 days. [Commonwealth of PA / TribLive] | | | Thousands of Pennsylvanians Lose SNAP | Since the passage of "One Big Beautiful Bill Act” a year ago, PA’s SNAP enrollment has dropped by about 11%. Roughly 98,000 people have lost food assistance because of new federal eligibility and work requirements. Anti-hunger advocates worry additional changes under the bill, which have yet to take effect, could also lead to more food insecurity.

Here’s what “The Pitt” got right and wrong about the Burgh is Season 1 and Season 2. Season 3 is set to premiere in January 2027. [City Cast Pittsburgh] |
