What's CITY Talking About?
🚑 Narcan Dispensers for Pgh Universities
Chatham and Pitt will soon get dispensers for the overdose prevention drug naloxone (aka Narcan), thanks to the Allegheny County Health Department. There’s an increased need on campuses; county data from 2023 shows 20% of people hospitalized for overdoses were under 25. The dispensers, or cabinets, will look a little different from the county’s first three Narcan vending machines, two of which have been broken or removed. [Next Generation Newsroom]
- ✅ Learn more about the county’s overdose prevention efforts, plus other news you might’ve missed this week — like the HUGE Downtown renovation plan and what happened with police chief Larry Scirotto — on today’s Friday news roundup. [🎧 City Cast Pittsburgh]


👀 Wiz Khalifa Lists His Pgh-Area Home
The 4,400-square-foot house, which sits on 2.8 wooded acres in Washington County, is listed for $1.29 million. Check out the features in this five-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom house: floor-to-ceiling windows, a gourmet kitchen, Brazilian Koa hardwood floor — and a very “Wiz-esque” fire pit. [Pittsburgh Magazine]
🏒 Pgh’s One Step Closer to a Women’s Hockey Team
The Professional Women’s Hockey League is preparing to add two new teams during the 2025-26 season, and Pittsburgh is a top contender. Games could take place at PPG Paints Arena or the Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry and broadcast on Sportsnet Pittsburgh. The league is sending proposal requests to markets next week.
