Wegmans Is Coming, Free Radon Tests & Another Hockey Heist
The local law firm Pond Lehocky replaced the enormous IC Light billboard on Mt. Washington, the grocery chain Wegmans finally confirmed they’re coming to Pittsburgh (and as a new neighbor to Pittsburgh-based Giant Eagle), and the Steelers’ season is done sooner than we hoped. Plus, there’s been another unusual hockey heist — this time targeting Penguins center Evgeni Malkin — more developing U.S. Steel sale drama, info on testing your home for radon for free, and a few fun events to take you into the long weekend.
