Walk of Fame, Higher Water Bills & New Fetterman Books
The owners of Pittsburgh Mills are getting some fresh comeuppance with nearly $2 million in new fines, and boat owners clogging up the North Shore have yet to face any consequences. The first group of notable Pittsburghers are getting their due on the Pittsburgh Walk of Fame, and we’re sharing what you need to know about your water bill probably going up. Plus, y’all have had a lot of thoughts about Cleveburgh.
