The Duquesne Light Tree of Lights at Point State Park will be no more.
This is the story I'm working on today.
The State Park and Duquesne Light say they came to a mutual agreement to end this Pittsburgh tradition that dates back to 1988.

Here's a bit from the press release:
Since 1988, DLC and Point State Park have partnered together every year to light the 80-foot “Tree of Lights.” This year, they made the mutual decision to retire the aging tree to help preserve the historical grounds of Fort Duquesne. The tree will be accessible to the public until Jan. 7, 2021.
