Beth is taking us around Millvale! We'll meet at Lincoln's P&G Diner, 232 North Ave. (map) Through her connections at the Allegheny Land Trust, she has the inside scoop on the new Girty's Woods park, and also other great things Millvale:
The Millvale run/walk can cover the highlights of this fun little place - two breweries, a knitting store, a community garden, a pocket park, the Riverfront Park, how to access their new 155-acre green space “Girty’s Woods” and wait, there’s more! The St. Nicholas Catholic Church where you can see the Maxo Vanka murals when the church is open.
The run on Mothers' Day was just right - cool-ish and sunny, passing through rarely seen South Oakland streets and reaching Our Lady of the Parkway, aka the Queen of Peace (with all our hopes and prayers for that) at the Shrine of the Blessed Mother, which RG first visited in 2008. Much annoying talk from myself and others about how we liked it better before (it's less unique now.) But still the same inspiring sanctuary high above the interstate. Read the history!
- Emergency rooms: Magee! Excellent care, not crowded, kind staff. Who knew? They take men now too.
- Heart health - women need to read this.
- Skincare: What are we doing? Not much. Should we follow Elizabeth Warren's advice and stop washing and use Pond's? But so many chemicals. My grandmother's Nivea had formaldehyde. Maybe Andalou Naturals? Probably doesn't help. We are gorgeous anyway.
- Voting in the primary on Tuesday! So much rides on this. Info here.
