So many decisions could have been bad!

December 19 Run or Walk: Meet at Butler and Fisk in Lawrenceville

The place to meet on Sunday is Convive Coffee, 4032 Butler St. for a Lawrenceville run. There is a hope that, after the depressing dearth of Christmas windows downtown last week, there may be some creative spirit surviving on Butler St.  (We did find one great one though - in photo, Beth is contemplating wearing this outfit to a Xmas party.)

We did get to visit the new I-579 Cap Park - aka Frankie Pace Park, a brilliantly creative way to literally bury the highway that famously cut off the Hill from Downtown, and bring Black Pittsburgh into focus.  Also - who knew the Federal Courthouse had a facade?  And what gabion  baskets are? Walkers watched the sun rise over the Mon on the Duquesne U. campus - runners on the Roberto Clemente Bridge saw it over the Allegheny.

Coffee at Market Square Starbucks (jumping at 8 am on a Sunday!) brought up:

  • Perla's Appliances for your next dishwasher, etc.
  • Everlane clothes
  • Reduce COVID exposure at movie theaters by going at early bird time (i.e. 4 pm at the Waterfront.)  Then watch: Belfast or C'mon C'mon.
  • Also watch: Wait for your laugh (Rose Marie documentary.)
  • Listen to audiobook: Ron Howard, The Boys
  • Or read it, along with the Katie Couric autobiography
  • Go ahead, spit in that bottle and find your roots at Ancestry.com or Myheritage.com.
