Your Daily Guide

Hey, neighbor! Iโ€™ve got a special send for you today. By now, youโ€™ve probably heard of City Cast Neighbors โ€” our membership program that supports my teamโ€™s work on this newsletter, as well as our daily podcast and social accounts. It also comes with a lot of great perks! One of them is a weekly email rounding up our top local event picks, and I figured a summer Friday was a great day to give you a sneak peek.

Every week, Neighbors receive the events listed below and use it to kickstart their weekโ€™s plans. These events arenโ€™t scraped by bots: my colleagues and I thoughtfully curate them, so thereโ€™s something for everyone โ€” from live music shows to volunteering opportunities. Scan through and I bet youโ€™ll see a bunch of things you want to attend. If you want to get this email every week, become a Neighbor today.

Names You Know, Now in Pittsburgh

Matisse. Renoir. Degas. Morisot. Cรฉzanne. Boudin. This summer, explore the avant-garde movements that turned names into legends. Featuring iconic works, ranging widely in style, French Moderns captures the creative energy that made France the center of the modern art world. Now open at The Frick Art Museum.

The weekly email also always includes a personal recommendation or greeting from me or one of my colleagues. For example, Iโ€™m inclined to tell you about todayโ€™s episode of โ€œYour City Could Be Better,โ€ City Castโ€™s national podcast. Our CEO David Plotz sat down with the hosts of the City Cast DC and City Cast Seattle podcasts to talk through city-life conundrums. They asked us writers and producers across the network to send in dilemmas weโ€™ve faced, and I was really surprised by how much commonality there was!

Weโ€™re really all just out here wondering if itโ€™s OK to throw dog poop in strangersโ€™ trash bins. Who knew? Anyway, itโ€™s a really fun episode, and you should check it out โ€” on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. Ok, on to the events! โฌ‡๏ธ
