Bad news this week for recreational cannabis fans, but good news for Steel Curtain stans. Kennywood's newest steel coaster will open Memorial Day weekend, driverless trucks made in Pittsburgh are hitting Texas highways, there's more pothole drama at Pittsburgh Mills mall, and the Pittsburgh Zoo has unveiled its giraffe enclosure renovations. Plus, we're talking about why a few state bills — cannabis, school vouchers, early voting — can't get off the ground, and whether we all have Max's hit series "The Pitt" to thank for a big renovation at AGH.

Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato gave her quarterly address to County Council, and while there's a lot of uncertainty around funding, there are also things to celebrate. Like more bathrooms in the parks! But if you see any downed birds, be mindful of bird flu and please don't touch. Biden's outgoing pardons are back in the news — including one granted to a judge convicted in the ‘Kids for Cash' scandal — and we're taking a dive into autopen lore. Plus, we're recapping Pennsylvania's special elections, celebrating the start of the Pirates new season and fewer potholes at Pittsburgh Mills, and it's time to apply to be a lifeguard for both city and county pools.

It's the Friday news roundup! Even though it's been over 90 degrees every day this week, only a fraction of the city's water fountains are on, and we're blown away by why. One of Pittsburgh's most beloved fall attractions isn't opening this year, and we've got an update on the push to legalize recreational cannabis in Pennsylvania. We always cite our sources: Pittsburgh has over 200 water fountains, but only 35 of them are turned on because there's only one plumber who works for the city. Pittsburgh City Council passed legislation so that the city could work with the county, Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, and school districts to hire other plumbers and pay them overtime. ScareHouse isn't opening for Halloween this year because of pandemic-related financial challenges and vacancies at Pittsburgh Mills. Residents of Second Avenue Commons who were displaced by a fire are temporarily relocating to Reedsdale Center on the North Side and other sites like Light of Life. It will be months before the Downtown shelter reopens. Two shelter residents got married at a Juneteenth celebration. Rep. Emily Kinkead, whose district encompasses some of Allegheny County, shared plans to introduce and co-sponsor a bill to legalize cannabis in Pennsylvania, but it doesn't seem like it'll get passed with this year's budget. This weekend is the groundbreaking for a memorial to the eleven worshippers killed in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. Instead of sticking shovels in the ground, participants will smash small glass houses.
