Look, if you happen to be a religious person, say a prayer. If you’re not, then just keep him and his family in your thoughts, and think of all the good things this good man has done – not just for this city and its residents, but for everyone in his life that he has touched in some way.

set to premiere on september 26th is CBS’s new show ‘smith.’ why do you care, you might ask? well, at least the first episode of this show was filmed in pittsburgh. the trailer, which you can watch here, shows master theif ray liotta and his team busting into the mellon institute to steal a priceless work of art, then escaping by zooming along highways and the monongahela river. awesome! every little bit counts.
