Meet at the parking lot by the Hot Metal Bridge (enter the lot at the foot of Bates St and make a left) for a run down the trail then back on Carson Street where we will look for displays of the holiday kind.
Run to the Runners meet at the Commonplace - be ready to leave at 6:20AM. We will return there for coffee,
It was seasonably cold this morning for our traditional downtown holiday run. While the decorations were bright as always, they were almost outshone by the spectacular full moon which hung snow white in the dark blue sky as we began then faded to a misty gray in the dawn sky. This did not deter us from visiting all our regular places: the windows at the former Kaufman's, the creche in the Steel Plaza, the City Christmas trees. We added a few new sites, some of which sadly are temporary: Occupy Pittsburgh, the Civic Arena, Pittsburgh Freedom Corner which offered an expansive view of downtown and the Juvenile Court where Tom works.
Today's coffee banter covered beer for nausea, the history of Quinine, Gin and Tonics (you can see the connection there) and more I am sure.
