Jan 19 Run: Meet at Ineffable Ca Phe, Penn Ave between 40th and 39th

We're going to explore Bloomfield next Sunday - where we haven't been since 2018 when we first crossed the Bloomfield Bridge - much to see!  We'll start at the Vietnamese-inspired Ineffable, at 3920 Penn Ave. across from the haunted Frank Clack Health Center, once toured with our scientist Beth, so we know it's true.

Last week we made the long trek to the Penitentiary - a dark and atmospheric route along the Ohio on the trail - appropriately creepy.  But the CCAC Starbucks, unlikely as it may seem, was a comfort. 

Endorsed:

• TV:  Escape at Dannemora - appropriately, and also Anne with a E - adorable, and has a 19th C. orphanage in it too.  Also Season 3 of Mrs. Maisel - another era but still historic
• Charles Dickens made a visit to the Pen!
• There was some talk of an episode of Mindhunter being filmed there, but on further review, it looks like it was the "neo-Gothic prison compound of West Virginia State Penitentiary"
• More 19th C.:  the pattern for Beth's Shawl in Little Women
• Movies:  The Two Popes, and Searching for Sugar Man.
