Yinz Are Good shares the *good* news going on out there and celebrates the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors, the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make the world a better place?”

We recently received an email saying, in part, “I’m reaching out to introduce you to two Pittsburghers who I think are a perfect fit for Yinz Are Good: Carla Arnold, who is 67 years old, and Tricia Patsilevas, who is 38 years old. Carla and Tricia are North Side neighbors who first met while volunteering in their community garden and have since built a friendship full of laughter, generosity, and adventure…They’re one of the Pittsburgh-based pairs featured in Picture This, a new Age-Friendly Greater Pittsburgh campaign, celebrating the power of aging in community.” Well, yinzers, this is right up our alley... 

So Tressa made her way to the North Side to chat with Carla and Tricia to learn more about their intergenerational friendship and how they’re building community. Then Tressa headed to Squirrel Hill for a delightful chat with Laura Poskin, the Executive Director of Age-Friendly Greater Pittsburgh.
