Happy Valentine's Day, Pittsburgh
Dating in Pittsburgh is hard enough — and getting on the apps is like, a whole other thing. What pictures do you post? What should you say? Are like, mask selfies ok? There’s a lot to figure out, but not to worry—Pittsburgh City Paper arts and culture writer Dani Janae is here to help you get all the dates. Plus, an estimated 11,000 love locks will be cut off the Clemente Bridge today in advance of restoration work. We've got a tribute to all the Pittsburghers who locked their love and threw away (or lost!) the key.
Read Dani's piece here, and Pittsburgh Magazine's piece about the love locks here.
