Nov 8 Run: Pam Murray's House - 2200 Beechwood Blvd

Pam Murray graciously offered to lead a run through Frick Park while we still have morning light and perhaps some fall color. In addition she has offered to host after-run coffee - what a deal! Pam lives at 2200 Beechwood Blvd - close to where Darlington comes into Beechwood, not far from Colfax School. She lives on the "up-side" of the street.

I was glad that we had a big group to re-visit the Strip/River run a few of us did a while ago because it certainly is one of the classics. It showcases so many of Pittsburgh's appealing features: interesting new housing (the Cork Factory), emerging and established tree-lined river paths, the serene river itself, the bridges and skyline, hidden water features (the Convention center) and ending with wonderful coffee and pastries at a Pittsburgh institution complete with men with Italian accents.All of this on a cool Fall morning - what could be better?!
