Batman Returns, a Bike Lane Compromise & Goodbye Abandoned Boats
Pittsburgh officially has its own Walk of Fame and Michael Keaton showed up to celebrate. (Too bad his name was spelled wrong on his plaque!) Host Megan Harris was there for the ceremony and shares the highlights, including a touching moment from Fred Rogers' children. She, executive producer Mallory Falk, and producer Sophia Lo also discuss a compromise over the Penn Avenue bike lane, a new plan to get rid of abandoned boats along the North Shore, and why the Pens gave up exclusive development rights to the Lower Hill.
