Jeff Goldblum's Chest, Theater Mergers & ICE vs. Summer Lee

Listen Later

Good news, bad news: three major cultural institutions — Pittsburgh Public Theater, City Theatre, and Pittsburgh CLO — are considering a merger to stay open and the historic Hollywood Theater in Dormont is about to reopen. U.S. Rep. Summer Lee was turned away from our region's largest ICE detention center even though it’s literally part of her job, and we’re talking about Pittsburgh wins and losses, from new life for a closed RiteAid to the satirical outlet The Onion taking aim at the Pirates.
