Fitz's New Gig, HBO & How to Get Pgh as Your Spotify 'Sound Town'
Why lead one county when you can influence 10? Outgoing County Executive Rich Fitzgerald announced his new gig with the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, which means he won’t be going far. We’re talking about what the SPC actually does, plus how it plans to spend $35 million through 2045. HBO’s latest period drama “The Gilded Age” is adapting the Homestead strike in this week’s episode, and with everyone posting their Spotify Wrapped, we wondered what it would take to get Pittsburgh as your sound town.
