Airport Glow Up, Mayoral Money & Pittsburgh in the Puppy Bowl

If you can’t bring yourself to watch the actual Super Bowl this weekend (pour one out for the Steelers!), you can at least catch some four-legged Pittsburghers in another big game. The mayoral race is looking tight — at least when it comes to fundraising. And there’s some good news from the state legislature for Pennsylvanians with food allergies. Plus, the City Cast Pittsburgh team got a special sneak peak of the new terminal at the Pittsburgh International Airport.
