December 22 run: Start at Phipps Conservatory Oakland, plus Christmas run: Starbucks Forbes and Shady (7:30 am start)
Last Sunday we did the annual downtown Christmas tour. The tree at the point shone brightly against the dusky morning sky. We ornamented the giant ornament and were dwarfed by the giant figures of the creche, and the tree at the City-County building (now featuring a video showing the raising and decorating of said tree!). No Hanukah menorahs in sight might actually be better than those PVC pipe versions of yesteryears. We trespassed onto the courthouse yard to view “where the Christmas tree used to be” and passed the old Kaufmanns’ department store where the Christmas windows “used to be”. It was delightful to have Sarah Wallace back for her first of two holiday downtown runs of the day. In the elegance of the William Penn Hotel lobby, napkin topics (including the true meaning of Okay Boomer and Wendy’s well-maintained rhomboids) were plentiful, but were not actually recorded on a napkin.
This Sunday we're starting at Phipps Conservatory for a visit through Oakland. Also don't forget the default holiday Christmas run at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday at 61C.
Happy Holidays Everyone!
