Nov. 7 Run and Walk: Meet at 61B (the one on Braddock in Regent Square) for an autumn trek through Frick Park

 Thanks to Elaine for this post:

Next week’s run will meet at the 61B Cafe, 1108 S. Braddock, for a fall foliage forage at Frick Park. Don’t forget to change your clocks back (do we still have clocks that require this or do most of our clocks do this themselves?) at 2am on Sunday Nov. 7. Then go back to bed so you can get up at 6 for the run!

The North Side run/walk was splendid, with the usual ceasing of rainfall along the way. Audrey was a main attraction and, as the sun rose, we enjoyed many visual treats:  the beautiful architecture of Allegheny West and the Mexican War Streets, intentional and unintentional spookiness along East Ohio Street, the peaceful paths and fountains of Allegheny Commons, and the lovely new restaurant 40 North and City of Asylum Bookstore at Alphabet City. Coffee at CCAC Starbucks was notable. The running group decibel level remained well below that of the adjacent table of “regulars”… escaping notice of the loudness police.

• Podcast: Murdaugh Murders: great story, but riddled with an annoying vocal fry.
• The Libby App (probably a repeat) links to the library to download and listen or read audio and ebooks for free. Great for long car rides.
• The most kosher restaurant in Rockland, New York turns out to be at a Walmart…
