More Food Trucks in City Parks? Plus, 'Hot' Neighborhoods & Cell Phone Ban
Good news for food truck lovers! The city just made it easier for mobile vendors to set up shop. Host Megan Harris and executive producer Mallory Falk share why new rules could open the door for taco trucks, mobile pizza ovens, and more in your favorite city park. Plus, they dig into new reports about Pittsburgh's hottest housing markets and richest neighborhoods, explain why it's not entirely a good thing that we lead the nation in home inheritance, and discuss a proposed cell phone ban in Pittsburgh public schools.
