Have you checked out the #PittsburghBands hashtag on Twitter?
If you were naming a band that could only be found in Pittsburgh, what would you call it?

The bovine spectacle occurs just days after motorists spotted a pig on the Parkway West.
In the beginning ... there was the Pig on the Parkway. Now, there are cows "procreating," shall we say, on Route 28. It's been one heckuva week around the 'Burgh. On Friday morning, motorists got a spectacle of the bovine variety when a cow and a bull—oblivious to the highway traffic—decided to do the wild thing in a construction zone on Route 28. Pennsylvania State police dealt with traffic congestion caused by the amorous pair "having relations in the road" at the intersection of Routes 28/66 and Route 85 in Rayburn Township, near Kittanning, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. Mark O'Neil, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau near Harrisburg, told WTAE that it was his understanding that the cow and bull may have been having "…

Special Olympics fundraiser doubles in size, donations.
Though it’s only the second year that teams from the Pittsburgh area have braved the cold waters of the Ohio River for the Special Olympics Polar Plunge, the event has managed to double in attendance, donations and perhaps even enthusiasm. Though the water was reported to be 39 degrees, the sun shone brightly over Heinz Field on Sunday. “You couldn’t have asked for a prettier day,” said Sandra Bradshaw, of Bethel Park. Crowds gathered early at the stadium in anticipation of the plunge that began at noon. Of those attending, about 1,300 were on teams that jumped into the Ohio River from the Heinz Field boat launch to raise money for the Special Olympics.
