July 31 Run/Walk: Meet at Biddle's Escape, corner of Biddle and Trenton in Wilkinsburg

Meet at Biddle's Escape, where there is an outdoor patio AND an indoor bathroom, and coffee too.  Plus nearby are some delectable treats at Madeleine's if you can deal with the line.  On our route we can try to peek at the monster cranes and gigantic beams now creating the New Fern Hollow Bridge.  Progress is being made somewhere!

Last week's turnout was impressive, maybe more so than the vintage cars that populate Schenley Park every year.  Some malcontents (like me) wondered why we don't show off electric cars with equal hoopla.  We crowded around the 61C outdoor table to endorse:

• Our visit to the studio of acclaimed local artist Ron Donoughe soon - here's a Doodle poll to help figure out the best date and time.
• Grilled fennel
• Quantum Theatre's The Cherry Orchard, outdoors on Hazelwood Green - superb!  But move fast - only until this Sunday.
• Buffalo Rose is back! This Sunday night at the Blues & Roots Festival
• Thriller to watch: The Girl from Oslo
• Classics to watch:  Legally Blonde, MASH
• Ummm, not classic:  FBoy Island
• Read: Get Up and Ride - real talk about the GAP trail
• Pedal Pittsburgh on 8/28 - will RG have a team?
• Pittsburgh Major Taylor Cycling Club has weekly rides
• And even more for your bike (or scooter, or feet) - Open Streets tomorrow, Saturday for a change.
