Trying the Heinz Ketchup Smoothie, Museum Upgrades & More Rental Bikes

Smoothie King and Heinz's ketchup smoothie collaboration is now available in Pittsburgh! We're trying it today, along with City Cast friends across the country. Plus, we're talking about all the upgrades at our museums, cultural institutions, and outdoor spaces. Pittsburgh's bringing in new zoo animals, swapping out Andrew Carnegie's name to honor modern-day philanthropists, and looking forward to more bike rentals and POGOH stations.
