Exploding Bridge, Explosive Poops & Pittsburgh's Newest Pool
About this episode
The episode discusses recent health concerns in Allegheny County, local infrastructure events, and community updates in Pittsburgh.
It's been an explosive week for Pittsburgh. Executive producer Mallory Falk, producer Sophia Lo, and contributor and City Paper managing editor Colin Williams share what to know about the cyclosporasis cases in Allegheny County, the cooked veggie dishes you should be eating instead of summer salads, and what to do if you think you might have this parasitic infection. Plus, we discuss whether the Commercial Street Bridge demolition looked as cool as we expected and whether the traffic disruptions live up to the doomsday predictions. Finally, we talk about another taproom closure, a new pool opening, and leadership changes at the Allegheny County Jail and Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire. And if you've been hooked on the Commercial Street Bridge livestream, tune in for our members-only segment, where we recommend a few more Pittsburgh-area livestreams worth checking out.
