This week on the City Paper podcast, host Alex Gordon talks to filmmaker John Cameron Mitchell ahead of his visit to Pittsburgh for Reel Q’s “Night of 1,000 Hedwigs.” Our panel discusses the recent violence in Wilkinsburg, and editor Charlie Deitch talks about his family’s brush with gun violence. And, staying in Wilkinsburg, columnist Celine Roberts visits a hopeful spot of economic redevelopment – Leona’s Ice Cream Sandwiches, operating in the former Smith’s Bakery.
