What makes a good neighbor? On Thursday, I went to McKeesport's 52nd annual "Good Neighbor Day" festival to interview participants about their groups and organizations, and also ask them to define the phrase "good neighbor."

You'll hear from representatives of the McKeesport Lions Club, the McKeesport Trail Commission, the McKeesport Area High School teen parentlng program, McKeesport Youth C.A.S.T., Mon-Yough Community Services, UPMC McKeesport, FamilyLinks, the Jewish Healthcare Foundation of Pittsburgh, and more.

"Two Rivers, 30 Minutes" airs at 9:30 a.m. Fridays on WEDO (810) and 8 a.m. Sundays on WZUM (1550).

ADVERTISEMENT: Support for "Two Rivers, 30 Minutes" comes in part from the McKeesport Hospital Foundation. Since 1976, the foundation has addressed key concerns that affect our good health, as well as our education, social needs, recreation, and safety and security. The foundation partners with UPMC McKeesport and other agencies to eliminate barriers to all services for all residents of the Mon Valley.
