It’s the Friday news roundup! It’s Light Up Night weekend in Pittsburgh, and we’re sharing all the things we’re excited to see, including a new themed light show on the Sister Bridges and an interactive art exhibit in Mellon Square. Pittsburgh Public Schools won’t close any district locations yet, and parents are hopeful an alternate plan could win out over a harsher one proposed this fall by consultants. Local businesses are offering free wedding services for queer couples who want to get married before Trump’s inauguration. Plus, cannabis legalization will have to wait for another legislative session, and there’s a new local Christmas ornament honoring Century III Mall that we’re very excited to add to our collection.
If you know of any other local businesses or wedding service providers offering their skills or spaces for free, we’d love to add them to our list. Call or text us at 412-212-8893.
