Food Stamps, Black Neighborhoods, And The Elusive Legal Roadie

Today on City Cast Pittsburgh’s Friday roundup, Megan, Francesca, and Morgan sit down to discuss how structural racism impacts dementia; why food stamp enrollment numbers are on the rise, and whether you’ll ever be able to walk around with open alcohol containers in Pennsylvania.  As always, the Friday roundup is powered by local journalism.
