The Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show brings in visitors to downtown
Those looking into finding something new for their home can stop by the Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show in Downtown Pittsburgh.
Sarah Loomis and her family wanted to be among the first to get in Friday as they love coming to the Home and Garden Show.
"The beautiful kitchens, the house, the backyards, everything," Loomis said.
Behind them were a ton of people eager to dream. Some knew the aisles by hand.
"I just love browsing around looking at everything, buying stuff that I don't need," Ken Williams, of Midland, PA, said.
Some who attended were novices.
"I've never been here before so I don't know what to expect," Anika Thomas of Pittsburgh said.
This show features more than just novice experience as it's the 43rd year for America's largest home show.
"We didn't fill it initially," Executive Director Mark Moore said. "We had to grow into it, but we're there."
There's certainly enough around to inundate you. There are fireplaces, windows, and even a chance to channel your inner Steph Curry with outdoor basketball hoops.
"Even things you didn't even know you needed, that once you get here you find out oh my gosh, I never even knew that existed, and people end up walking out with it," Moore said.
Moore is expecting more than 300,000 people over the next ten days of the event.
"Sales so far online have been going well," he said.
A lot of people will gaze at the landscaping, light fixtures and bedrooms as some are serious about making a big splash.
"The people who really are gonna sit down and do the deal, they come through and see it on a weekend," Moore said. "But they'll come back during the weekdays."
For Loomis, she's using her visit on Friday as inspiration.
"You get a ton of ideas, we're big DIYers," she said. "So we get a ton of ideas and stuff."
The Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show will continue through March 16 and will be $12 for adults, $4 for kids 6-12 and free for kids under 6. Tickets that are bought online will be $10 for adults, and the event hours will be different each day, more information can be found on the website.

Bruce Willis' Wife Issues Statement Regarding Speculation Surrounding Her Husband's Health
Emma Heming Willis has sent a clear message to fans — and to the media. "To Whom It May Concern: If you ever come across a story that begins with "sources close to the family say...," do yourself a favor and stop reading," Heming Willis wrote on her Instagram Stories on July 26. "And to any outlet that runs with those kinds of stories, do better. Giving a platform to anonymous speculation is not only careless, it's harmful. Onward," she added. Heming Willis' statement comes on the heels of reports that her husband, actor Bruce Willis, is no longer able to speak or walk. A number of unconfirmed reports surfaced this week suggesting that the Die Hard star's health has declined. Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023. The condition affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain and can affect a person's personality, behavior and language, according to the Mayo Clinic. Willis has a strong support system, which consists of his wife, whom he married in 2009, his ex-wife, Demi Moore, and his five daughters. Over the past couple of years, the whole family has done their best to keep Willis' spirits high. There have been a number of times that his family, especially his older daughters, have shared updates on their father, but they tend to keep it simple, affording their dad the ability to live his life privately. The family has not shared any significant updates on Willis' condition since revealing his Willis' Wife Issues Statement Regarding Speculation Surrounding Her Husband's Health first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 26, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword

Is Steam Deck 2 secretly the next-gen PlayStation handheld? Valve and Sony's rumored partnership could make it happen, and I'm all for it
Rumors of Valve's most-wanted Steam Deck 2 are heating up, with the next-gen gaming handheld tipped to be in the works. But there's another conversation that's caught my attention — and it involves a rumored partnership between Sony and Valve. Gaming handhelds are picking up steam, with Microsoft teaming up with Asus to deliver a ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X this year, the Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS acting as a spiritual successor to the Steam Deck and the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme in the MSI Claw A8 expected to pack some serious power. Oh, and not to mention the Nintendo Switch 2. Then there's Sony with its PlayStation Portal. Streaming PS5 games on what is basically a DualSense controller with a screen slapped in the middle has its merits, but it's not exactly the next-gen PlayStation handheld fans have been waiting for. But what if the rumored Steam Deck 2 could act as the next PlayStation handheld? Well, considering speculation surrounding a subtle but clear Sony and Valve partnership (as per YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead), it isn't out of the realm of possibility. In fact, considering Sony's support of its own first-party titles on Steam already, the Steam Deck 2 could be Sony's answer to a next-gen PlayStation handheld. There's now a good selection of the latest PlayStation-first games on PC, with God of War Ragnarök, Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Helldivers 2, Returnal, Spider-Man and the recent Stellar Blade making their way over to Steam. Much of this is thanks to Sony's own Nixxes Software, who take on porting PS games to PC (and masterfully, too). The developers were behind bringing The Last of Us Part II to PC, and it was Naughty Dog who told me that TLOU Part II is "perfect" for Steam Deck. And yes, it is Steam Deck verified, with the developers prioritizing this to make sure Deck owners could play this graphically demanding game on the go. But that's not the only title that's been verified, and you'll find nearly all PS games are fit to be played on Steam Deck — and it shows Sony's support. Of course, Sony would want its games to work well on PC, as a terribly optimized game wouldn't go down well. But it's clear PlayStation offers big support for its games on Valve's Steam Deck, and on Steam in general, since it's the only other platform that delivers PlayStation exclusives. With this in mind, having a more powerful Steam Deck 2 to play the latest PlayStation titles would be hugely beneficial, and it makes Valve's rumored gaming handheld somewhat of a de facto next-gen PlayStation handheld. Plus, with the now-leaked AMD "Magnus" Zen 6 APU tipped to power the rumored PS6, and possibly a form of this chip on the Steam Deck 2 or Valve's rumored Steam Box, there's a lot of crossover to allow PlayStation games to run more easily on Steam platforms. For now, this is all just wishful thinking, but there have been murmurs of a next PlayStation handheld coming. And apparently, it's set to launch alongside the PS6. I'm all for a Steam Deck 2 being the way to play PS titles, but if Sony has another PS Vita up its sleeve that can run games natively, then I'll welcome it with open arms. Rumor has it that it may even support AI upscaling tech, similar to the PS5 Pro's PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution). As noted by leaker KeplerL2, the next PlayStation handheld is expected to arrive with 16GB of DDR5X RAM, a third of the base PS5's memory bandwidth (4MB of L2 cache but with 16 MB of MALL cache) and will be powered by an AMD chip. That's yet another nod to AMD's upcoming chipsets. Now, there's no official word on Sony bringing out another handheld, and we may not end up seeing one after all. But if that's the case, perhaps the Steam Deck 2 could fill its shoes instead. And with Valve making sure its next hardware release offers a big enough performance leap (via The Verge), playing PlayStation games on a Steam Deck 2 is sure to be a treat.
