You better think twice before grabbing your cell phone on PA roads. New distracted driving rules take effect in June, and you could face $200 in fees if you get caught texting or talking — even while stopped at a red light. City Cast Pittsburgh’s Megan Harris & Sophia Lo share some new news about the mayoral election (turnout wasn’t all bad?); why the South Side was transformed into an 1800s movie set (and how you can get involved); why Dick’s Sporting Goods is on a spending spree (sneakers and Skenes!); and how to get an Uber Eats coupon just for ordering Heinz.
