Judith Nelson+FollowPNC Park teams up with Animal FriendsBaseball fans at PNC Park got more than just a game this weekend—every ticket helped support Animal Friends, a local animal welfare group. Not only did part of each ticket sale go directly to the organization, but fans also received $5 to spend at the concession stands or team store. It’s a win-win: enjoy a night out, cheer on the Pirates, and help animals in need all at once. This kind of community partnership really shows how sports can make a difference beyond the field. Anyone else love seeing local causes get this kind of spotlight? #Sports #Pittsburgh #AnimalFriends10Share
charles39+FollowNas and the PSO light up Heinz HallNas brought hip-hop history to life in Pittsburgh, teaming up with the Symphony Orchestra for a one-of-a-kind "Illmatic" experience.

AZ even joined him on stage, and the energy was off the charts. The mix of orchestral power and raw rap felt fresh and electric, showing how hip-hop can evolve in unexpected ways. If you were there, what moment hit you hardest? And if not, would you want to see more rap-orchestra mashups in the city? #Entertainment #Music #Pittsburgh00Share

Danielle White+FollowPittsburgh Airport’s bold move toward green fuelPittsburgh International Airport is about to shake up air travel by building a massive facility to make sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) right on its own grounds. This means planes could soon fill up with fuel made from renewable sources—like bio-based feedstocks and even sewage sludge—cutting carbon emissions by at least 65% compared to regular jet fuel. With plans to produce over 100 million gallons a year, PIT could set a new standard for airports everywhere. Imagine flying out of Pittsburgh knowing your trip is helping the planet!

When cities prioritize community needs, everyone wins—so keep an eye on local housing policies! #RealEstate #AffordableHousing #Pittsburgh00Share
