I can't stop watching the footage I shot Saturday inside U.S. Steel's historic Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock. As part of its 150th anniversary celebration, U.S. Steel gave journalists incredibly rare access to film a tour of the mill, Andrew Carnegie's first. @KDKA story ⬇️

I asked Visit Pittsburgh CEO Jerad Bachar if, when looking toward post-NFL Draft big events, there's something they/the city can do messaging-wise to help set expectations at a realistic level. "Absolutely. I think that communication piece is critical." cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/new…

Gamrat: "Someone said to me, 'Why would those politicians do that?' Well, because they were spending public money. If you're going to spend public money, you have to justify it, and you have to justify it by touting all the wonderful benefits."

Draft Deep Dive: Did Pittsburgh's NFL Draft live up to the hype? The CEO of Visit Pittsburgh & analyst from a local think tank disagree. In our @KDKA TV story & in-depth article, we examined new attendance data, hotel occupancy figures, & challenges local biz faced.

A 5-year-old was airlifted to a hospital after the raft they were riding in overturned yesterday in rapids along the Youghiogheny River in Ohiopyle State Park, sending up to 7 people into the water. A massive rescue effort was launched. Our @KDKA story last night ⬇️.

@JazzePinkman Based on this - the backdrop will largely be an apartment building.

The MLB in Salt Lake will be one of the coolest locations in the league. The backdrop is gonna go crazy
