Pop City was launched in March 2006 on a budget of $200,000.[3] The costs were defrayed by pledges from the Urban Redevelopment Authority, The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, and the Allegheny Conference on Community Development.[1]
The publication held 39,000 subscribers and a team of two dozen stringers.[5] Though Eve Picker was the first publisher,[1] Tracy Certo ran the publication for eight years. She would later found the spiritual successor NEXTPittsburgh.[6][7]
