University of Pittsburgh scientists announced that they have discovered a view of the city of Pittsburgh not previously photographed.

“There are thousands of photos snapped of the city each day, it was painstakingly researched to make sure nobody else captured this particular view,” said Ben Ledermon.

Ledermon, the head researcher on the project noted that this discovery is their first discovery in over three years.

“We had several close calls, usually we would find out it had been captured hundreds of times on Instagram,” added Ledermon.

The group was in disbelief in their discovery. They wanted to bring it to the public as soon as possible but decided to err on the side of caution. They cited other views quickly becoming tourist attractions much to the dismay of neighbors.

“I already have 5 photos ready to throw up on Facebook, personally. To know this and not being able to tell my loved ones is a heavy burden to bear,’ said Rachel Miller.

When pressed for details, the group confirmed that this new view is located in the western reaches of the City of Pittsburgh.

The group is undecided when they will release the location for the masses, but they do have a rollout plan.

“Well let that Dave DiCello get the first shot of the new view. He takes some nice pictures of the city,” concluded Miller.

For the first time since their inception in 2014, Open Streets Pittsburgh is holding an event for city drivers.

The first of what Open Streets Pittsburgh hopes to be an annual event, Open Sidewalks Pittsburgh will take place this Sunday from 8am to 1:30pm.

The route, named the Doughboy to Downtown, will run from Market Square, hook onto Penn Avenue, and eventually make its way up Butler Avenue in Lawrenceville.

Cars are welcome on the whole route, while larger vehicles such as trucks are advised to stay on the wider sidewalks of Downtown and the Strip District.

Vehicles such as buses, tractor trailers, or Hummers are not permitted on the sidewalks.

This event is the first of its kind in the world.

On a normal Sunday, a driver caught trying to drive their vehicle on a sidewalk would be reprimanded by the authorities.

Various activities will be held at various points of the course, including car yoga, car maintenance, and much more.

In case of emergencies, tow trucks will be available.

In a statement, Open Streets Pittsburgh said, "we understand that the drivers of Pittsburgh might have felt left out of our previous events, so it was our chance to show appreciation to them, too."

The group expects 10,000 drivers to hit the sidewalks this Sunday.

Businesses along the route are expecting plenty of customers from the increase in traffic.

If all goes well, Open Streets Pittsburgh will hope to hold more events next year.

Ideas such as "Bike the Busways" and "Cars Cruising the Riverfront Trails" are in the planning stages for 2018.

Pittsburgh Public Schools to rename school for President Trump

Pittsburgh Mifflin Pre K-8, located in the Lincoln Place section of the city, will become Pittsburgh Trump at the conclusion of the 2016-17 school year.

The school board approved this measure unanimously along with renovations to bring the building up to the standards of the Trump brand.

It will be the second institution of learning to have the name, the first being Trump University.

This is nothing new for the Pittsburgh Public School district.

In 2009, the school district renamed the Florence Reizenstein Middle School for then President Barack Obama. Since 2012, Pittsburgh Obama moved to the former Peabody High School building.

The decision came after a group of disenfranchised students, parents, and teachers complained that it is only fair since Obama got a school named for him.

A press release the district read, “We want all students to feel included. We feel that Pittsburgh Mifflin would be the perfect place to display the Trump name.”

The district did extend an invitation to President Trump, who at press time has not responded.

According to areavibes.com, Lincoln Place is over 95 percent Caucasian, while zero percent African-American.

The Pittsburgh Public School website says the district is composed of 53 percent of African-American students.

“Any student, or teachers uncomfortable with this change will be allowed to transfer to another school of their choosing,” stated the press release.

This decision is expected to cause controversy within the school district.
