Pittsburgh Pride has marched for decades, but this is the first year the parade crosses the river. Sunday at noon it steps off at Liberty and 11th, heads down to Sixth, and walks the Roberto Clemente Bridge across the Allegheny to the North Side.

The theme this year is Existence is Resistance. The route makes the case on its own.

Pittsburgh ranks near the top for park access — and the report shows who’s still left out.

The Trust for Public Land’s 2026 ParkScore put Pittsburgh 15th in the country (up from 17th), with 93% of residents within a 10-minute walk of a park — against a 57% national average.

But it isn’t shared evenly: low-income neighborhoods have 29% less park space per person, and neighborhoods of color have 47% less than predominantly white ones. A great citywide number can still hide a map where the green pools in some zip codes and thins in others.

Bedford Dwellings Phase II — Hill District. The next wave of townhomes in the long rebuild wraps this summer, swapping some of the city’s oldest public-housing stock for new for-rent and for-sale units. One of the most consequential neighborhood resets in Pittsburgh right now. (URA)

City’s Edge — 1400 Stevenson & Colwell. A new residential project on Uptown’s edge is tracking toward a fall opening, knitting Uptown to Downtown as the BRT corridor matures. (NEXTpittsburgh)

The Esplanade — North Side riverfront. Piatt’s big riverfront play is in site-work mode after a winter groundbreaking. Doors are a 2028 story, but the land is moving now. (Pittsburgh Magazine)

FOR THE BUYER — Calmest board in months. Rates eased, homes sit longer, almost nothing sells over asking. That’s leverage. Ask for the repairs, ask for the credit.

FOR THE SELLER — Buyers aren’t in a hurry, so a stale price gets punished. Price to the comps, not last summer’s headlines, and your house still moves.

FOR THE RENTER — $1,483/mo (P&I) on a $245K home with 5% down. What are you paying in rent right now? If those are within shouting distance, let’s run the real math.

🍜 Mancini’s Turns 100, Heinz Turns 157, Same Weekend

The Heinz History Center is throwing a joint birthday, and the way they’re honoring it is an eight-foot Heinz bottle sculpted out of bread. Owner Nick unveils it Friday at 10 a.m. There is no city on Earth where that sentence makes more sense.

Another sinkhole update this week, because of course. At this point they’re less “emergency” and more “recurring character.” You don’t ask if — you ask which street, and when’s it your turn.

🎨 The Warhol Wall at the Airport Is Gone

That stretch of Warhol wall art at PIT got pulled in the new-terminal churn. Small thing, but it stung — it was the “oh right, we made him” reminder before baggage claim.

🚗 The Eternal Mystery of the Blocked License Plate

A driver was spotted with his plate strategically obscured, reigniting the city’s favorite debate: real PPA-dodging hack, or a guy asking for a ticket and a tow? The comments never reach consensus.
