May 30 Run/Walk: Meet at Commonplace Coffee on the North Side - 1501 Buena Vista St.

We'll start at Commonplace Coffee at the corner of Buena Vista and Jacksonia on the Northside, and traipse through the Mexican War Streets. Apparently the last time we were there was June of 2019, when we discovered afterwards that Gertrude Stein was born a few blocks away, so we can investigate. We'll also head up to Fineview, home of the mystically named corner of Compromise and Hemlock.  Bring a chair in case we sit in the cute park outside Commonplace. 

Last Sunday we neglectfully forgot to take photos, but we did some Squirrel Hill/Shadyside meandering, followed by a delightful comfy coffee klatch in Wendy's blooming garden. Blessed normalcy!

I can barely read my handwriting due to temporary right hand malfunction (typing here is SLOW), but I think we agreed that these are fun to watch:

Fun travel:
Let's not forget the idea to bring back happy hour at Over Eden
Another idea: pick one of 100 Burgh staircases for another run

May 23 Run: Meet at Beechwood and Wilkins Avenue

May 23 Run: Meet at Beechwood and Wilkins Avenue.  Wendy wants to host coffee in her back patio after the run and walk.

This past Sunday, we enjoyed a nice South Oakland/Schenley Park run and enjoyed our Dunkin at Schenley Plaza.  Endorsements include Thumbtack for finding contractors/professionals/experts, OnePass as a way to organize passwords, and Microsoft Lens app which is a scanner on your phone!

Have a great weekend, everyone.  Hope to see you Sunday!

May 16 Run: Meet at Schenley Plaza

Hi everyone-- subbing for Roye so another short note with meeting location for Sunday.

Runners and walkers meet at Schenley Plaza for what looks like beautiful warmer weather!

Bring your own coffee or get from Dunkin.  There's a Starbucks too, but I'm not sure about Sunday am hours.

Last Sunday was Mother's Day and due to the threat of rain, it was a small group.   But look at those beautiful faces!

May 9 Run: Meet at Frick Environmental Center, 2005 Beechwood Blvd

A quick note with the meet-up place only, as I'm temporarily subbing for Roye.

On Sunday, meet at the Frick Park Environmental Center at 2005 Beechwood Boulevard for our Mother's Day Run.  

Bring coffee!  There should be enough seating areas there so you may not need your chairs.
