Nebby News

Hey Pittsburgh! Yinzy here with Nebby News Now, your quick local pulse from the Burgh. Here is the context behind the stories worth your attention this week. First up, Pitt Panthers rise to No. 25 in college football rankings with 5-0 season so far. The Pitt Panthers football team has entered the AP Top 25 rankings at No. Voters heard Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi loud and clear after he complained of being left out of the AP Top 25. The 5-0 Panthers entered the poll this week for the first time this season, coming in at No. Next up, Schenley Park in Pittsburgh receives Allegheny RAD regional parks funding.

The Allegheny Regional Asset District, a major funder of the Pittsburgh region’s parks, libraries and arts and culture groups, announced its preliminary 2027 budget on Tuesday. The budget includes $135.3 million in operating grants, with the distribution of millions of dollars more in capital grants still to be determined. Pending those capital grants, the budget contained few surprises. And for our final story, Casa San José new community center ribbon cutting and grand opening.
