Sick Pigeon--urgent!
by Pamela Barentine 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

I am posting this for a dear friend who said she saw a pigeon sitting on the grass on N. St. Clair Street. It is injured, but alive. It is on the left-hand side as you go north on N. St. Clair, between the sidewalk and the curb. The same block as At the Park, between Bryant Street and the alley behind At the Park. It is still alive and moves its head. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting this pigeon some medical help? Also: my friend already tried calling Animal Rescue, who said they could not come out to pick up the pigeon. Any other ideas? Thanks, Pamela

Air pollution and new app
by Joanne Scoulos 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Pollution in Allegheny County still poses a significant threat, making the air we breathe dirty and people in our communities sick. Foul odors outside may indicate a serious pollution problem in your area. Smell PGH is a new app that allows you you to report foul odors directly to the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) so they can better monitor and act on these incidents of bad smelling air. Be part of cleaning up the air in our neighborhoods. Download the app and learn more at: smellpgh.org
