February 6 Run/Walk: Meet at 61B cafe on S. Braddock, Regent Square for a Frick Park Recon

We need to see this for ourselves: what has changed in Frick Park since the astounding Fern Hollow Bridge collapse.  So we'll meet at 61B Cafe (1108 S. Braddock in Regent Square) and go from there.  Though likelihood of ice could change the plan - bring your Yaktrax or put chains on your footwear if possible. 

Last week we braved the weather to traverse the South Side and visit our 'Burgh-ish Highline, covered in snow, and bright red hearts - a proposal?  Hope someone said yes, or at least maybe.  Red - as in the airborne bus - was the color of the week, and here I'm going to quote my journalist daughter: "Everyone on board survived, and then the bus itself was removed from the wreckage by crane and held aloft against a pink winter evening sky. It was lowered safely to land, where it was deemed 'somewhat operational.' The bus is a symbol of resilience!"  

So was RG, as we gingerly returned to Coffee Inside, and endorsed:

• The New York Times Cooking site (I know, you have to pay, but worth it) and, for one thing, the cornmeal poundcake, and the comments.
• Using your grandmother's silverware
• Skating!  Schenley Park, North and South Park, the new one at The Armory, and if you can get to Ottawa, the glorious 5-mile Rideau Canal.
• Listen to podcast: A couple walks into a house.
