September 26 Run or Walk: Meet at Biddle's Escape on corner of Biddle and Trenton

Let's meet at Biddle's:  it's out of the way of the Great Race route, is in an adorable neighborhood, and has a comfy outdoor space.  For the Great Racers:  you go, girls, and don't forget Pam has invited all to start out at her house at 2200 Beechwood. 

Last week's weather was fine and some of us did check out the hidden mansions off of Shady.  One of them was discarding on its curb a complete Ethan Allen bed frame in PERFECT condition (estimated new cost $2000!)  AOC is right on.  Also - good idea to check out Highmont Rd. curbs from time to time.

Lots to discuss and endorse:

• Speaking of advertising slightly-used items, David's hand-lettered yard sale sign was the best ever seen.  Want one? 
• 2nd hand good stuff: Plato's Closet and Kid to Kid.
• The Bob Newhart Comedy Album from 1960
• Custom-made earplugs
• The Renfest!  Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival, better than ever, chomp on a Giant Turkey Leg, watch a Joust, hear the Washing Well Wenches. Game of Thrones in real time.
• Fern Hollow Bicycles and repair shop - you don't have to wait weeks to get it done.  
• Watch The French Dispatch, The Dressmaker
