Zombies Take Over Tiny Town & Nursing Home Workers Win Big

It’s the Friday news roundup! This week, the City Cast team is talking about how city officials are tackling what they call an open-air drug market in Downtown; why hundreds of nursing home workers went on strike across the state; and how the Carnegie Science Center is paying homage to George Romero with a mini “Night of the Living Dead” model. As always, our Friday shows are powered by great local journalism. This week, check out: Andy Sheehan with KDKA on the “open-air drug market”: https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/pittsburgh-drug-dealing-homeless-encampments-fort-duquesne-boulevard/ Stephen Caruso in Spotlight PA on the lead-up to the nursing home worker strike: https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2022/09/pa-nursing-home-strike-taxpayer-money-transparency/ Sarah Boden with WESA on nursing home workers’ new contracts: https://www.wesa.fm/health-science-tech/2022-09-13/after-striking-for-a-week-plus-workers-at-22-nursing-homes-have-a-contract Joshua Axelrod in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on the George Romero tribute: https://www.post-gazette.com/ae/movies/2022/09/13/carnegie-science-center-miniature-railroad-village-night-of-the-living-dead-evans-city/stories/202209130006  Our own Francesca Dabecco with places to get pumpkins & find fall fests in the City Cast Pittsburgh newsletter: https://us14.campaign-archive.com/?u=47857f2c492a1dda05a4762b9&id=7b39e3a496 Our newsletter is fresh daily at 6 a.m. Sign up here.
