September 15 Run: Braddock, PA! Braddock Ave. and 13th St. (map link in message)


Meeting/parking place is "grassy area on the left hand side of Braddock Ave. and 13th St." in Braddock PA.  Here's a Google Map.  Write in to the group email if you need a ride or directions and someone will surely provide it.  Please try not to miss this one - it promises to be memorable.   Michele is the moving force for this amazing and special run - here is her description (edited to not reveal some surprises.)  THANK YOU MICHELE!

This just keeps getting crazier and crazier!  
1.  We are running through the streets of Braddock - crazy!
2.  There is a woman in town filming a documentary about the community and how it is struggling to survive AND is interested in us coming there and might want to follow us around a bit!  HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!?!?
3. Unique after-run feature to be revealed later!

We will do short out and back along the Edgar Thompson Works.  It is quite a place to see!  I think I have us about 4.5 miles...  We might be stopping along the way though to admire some of the unbelievable architecture!   Did I say this was going to be CRAZY!?

so if anyone wants to make a "thank you" gift donation, they can bring their clothing donations OR 
a pack of diapers. They are better than gold at the free store.   HOWEVER no one should IN ANY WAY feel obligated to donate.

That is the run down on the run!  I'm expecting more details about the documentary.  I'll pass any important 
Info onto you!

See you Sunday!
