March 1 Run: Meet at Waterfront Place and 21st St. in the Strip

We're meeting at Waterfront Place and 21st Street in the Strip (map) and explore, what else, the waterfront.  Perhaps head over to River Ave. and Washington's Landing?  Or to Pt. State Park and maybe Station Square?  Bridges will be crossed.  Coffee at La Prima. We will locate a reasonable bathroom in advance.

Last week we climbed no hills but visited two cathedrals, both offering balm to the soul.  Hurray for St. Paul Cathedral for having open doors to anyone seeking an uplifting exquisite space at 7:30 am on Sunday, and even more hurrays for the many concerned Pitt students who are occupying the Cathedral of Learning  24-7 to pressure the Board of Trustees to divest from fossil fuels.  #OccupyCathy!
