Editorial: Gainey’s ‘Downtown is doing well’ assessment ignores realism of Pittsburgh’s bigger picture
Everything is just fine in Downtown Pittsburgh. That’s what Mayor Ed Gainey said Tuesday in a forum at Point Park University. “Our Downtown is doing well,” he said.

Valley grad Jordan Kirkwood settles in quickly with Saint Vincent women’s soccer teamVideo
Jordan Kirkwood has a tattoo on her right knee. It’s a set of open skeleton jaws that engulfs her kneecap. There’s no real meaning behind it, the Valley grad said. She just thought it looked cool.
