Yinz Are Good shares the *good* news going on out there and celebrates the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors, the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make the world a better place?”
We recently received an email saying, in part, “I’m reaching out to introduce you to two Pittsburghers who I think are a perfect fit for Yinz Are Good: Carla Arnold, who is 67 years old, and Tricia Patsilevas, who is 38 years old. Carla and Tricia are North Side neighbors who first met while volunteering in their community garden and have since built a friendship full of laughter, generosity, and adventure…They’re one of the Pittsburgh-based pairs featured in Picture This, a new Age-Friendly Greater Pittsburgh campaign, celebrating the power of aging in community.” Well, yinzers, this is right up our alley...
So Tressa made her way to the North Side to chat with Carla and Tricia to learn more about their intergenerational friendship and how they’re building community. Then Tressa headed to Squirrel Hill for a delightful chat with Laura Poskin, the Executive Director of Age-Friendly Greater Pittsburgh.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
