This time we'll start at the Mellon Park parking lot off of Fifth Ave. at Beechwood Blvd. I'm calling it since we're postponing the official Wilkinsburg run until next week - and we can go in various directions from there. I'm partial to the Penn Ave. "let's see what's new this time" run, but will go anywhere. Coffee can be at
Coffee Tree Roasters (family-owned) in Bakery Square just on the other side of the baseball field. We can reminisce about our February run there with Erika Strassburger and lift our coffee cups to her subsequent victory!
So last week we traversed the promised 3 bridges, which gave us constant glowing water views as you can see in Aimee's photo. Let it be known that the walkers were basically just as fast as the runners. Another intelligence-packed coffee hour at Starbucks followed: so let's call this a dossier. Endorsements below also include previously skipped ones from when I was too lazy to put them in.
- Hunt Stained Glass - seen on W. Carson with weird statues on top, but check out what's inside.
- Happy Hour at the William Penn - why haven't we set a date??
- Cioppino's restaurant: maybe you'll get to hear Gretchen's daughter Margot sing!
- Stephen Colbert suits up to exercise with RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg)
- Maruca little bags - the right size
- Family reunions - but plan them first with the group
- Steep&Cheap shopping site - says it all
- The "tape running in back of your head" of all the things that need to get done at home that apparently only women have
- Steroids - very rarely, but kind of great when you need them
- Movies: A Quiet Place; Isle of Dogs
- TV Series: Seven Seconds; One Day at a Time (remade with Cuban-Americans, with an amazing Rita Moreno)
- Books: Exit West by Mohsin Hamid. Also, by popular demand, Munmun by Jesse Andrews (full disclosure, I'm his Mom. Come hear his talk at the White Whale bookstore!)
