Happy 2024, yinzers! We are so very grateful for all of you and for the community we've all created together. Here's to another year of kindness, generosity, and community!

Tressa was so happy to sit down with the Gazette 2.0's McKees Rocks 2023 Person of the Year, Sandy Saban. It just so happens Sandy is one of Tressa's Mother-In-Law's closest friends! Sandy is one of the most joyous, generous, and kind people Tressa has known, and after you listen in, you'll know exactly why.
