We are pleased to announce that we have recruited a new editor to take over IheartPGH – this will be an exciting new chapter for both IheartPGH and our new editor who will begin blogging this summer and take over IheartPGH full time in 2014.

Please welcome Luke Ravenstahl as the newest contributor to IheartPGH.  Luke brings a wealth of knowledge about Pittsburgh and local government to the position.  We are looking forward to reading his posts about exciting developments in Pittsburgh, the inner workings of local government and hopefully, a few restaurant reviews, too. You can follow @LukeLovesPGH on Twitter for updates.

We asked Luke for a statement about his new position and his press secretary responded with the following “I am  looking forward to joining the IheartPGH team and I think this will be an excellent way for me to continue to promote the City of Pittsburgh! I’d like to wish everyone in the city of Pittsburgh a happy April Fools Day, please celebrate responsibly.”
