The Mon Valley is rich with stories to tell, and storytellers will share their personal tales at “Tube City Writers Live: An Evening of Stories from the Mon Valley.”

The program will be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Tube City Center, 409 Walnut St., McKeesport.

A multi-use, co-working space in the former Daily News building, the Tube City Center keeps the former newspaper building open in a vital part of the community.

Trib Total Media donated the building to the city in late 2017, about two years after it stopped production of the McKeesport Daily News.
