August 15 Run or Walk: Meet at corner of Sarah St. and 27th St. on the South Side

We'll meet at the corner of Sarah St. and 27th St. on the South Side, and then decide where to have coffee: Cup-Ka-Joe's or Big Dog.  Cup-Ka's has more outdoor seating, but the Dog is a favorite.  We'll vote - democracy! And we'll run or walk somewhere too.

Last week we took a tour of East Liberty's charms, including the Borland Garden and a block of Historic District row houses (pictured) that I cannot now locate on any map (Brigadoon? Hogwarts Express?)  And where did you go, runners?  Are we entering another dimension?

Back on earth we reviewed:

Ohio:  home of Metroparks and Warblers

Yoga: Monday at noon and Saturday at 10 in Schenley Plaza

The Detective Building renovation

Don't ever go:  Chuck E. Cheese, apparently kosher? 

Draw: with Posca acrylic markers (David Coulson's favorite)

Love art in the Hudson Valley: Dia Beacon, and many more
