Building at least 141 years old to be demolished after fire
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities say a multistory building on Pittsburgh’s South Side built at least 141 years ago will be demolished on safety grounds after a massive fire and partial collapse. Pittsburgh Public Safety officials said in a Twitter post Tuesday that the structure is “considered structurally unsound” after the collapse. Fire crews fought for hours Monday to contain the blaze reported at about 2:30 p.m. that sent flames and smoke poured from the building. At one point, the side of the building facing 11th street collapsed, showering the streets with bricks, glass and other materials. No one was injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

(New York, New York) Quaker Oats is releasing a new name and logo for its “Aunt Jemima” products, finally retiring what is considered by many as a racist stereotypical image that has adorned its pancake mixes and syrups for decades.
The product had a caricature of a Black woman stemming from what many say represented slavery for many years. Aunt Jemima will be replaced on the products packaging with the Pearl Milling Company name and logo according to parent company PepsiCo.
The new brand is scheduled to launch in June, one year after the company announced the change. Aunt Jemima was one of several food brands — including Uncle Ben’s, Cream of Wheat and Mrs. Butterworth’s — to announce redesigns as protests against systemic racism erupted across the United States this past summer.
