i was actually near the municipal office/getgo in the area when all of the news crews were there covering this. my company represents the city of mckeesport in engineering matters, so me and one of the field guys were on site doing something else at the time. we were actually told the story by one of the municipal reps - and at the time they still thought it was a real "member" - you should have seen the look on her face.
doesn't really surprise me, though, even if it had been real. mckeesport is home to some very weird shit on a regular basis.
