So many decisions could have been bad!

August 21 Run/Walk: Meet at Bakery Square (best parking is Mellon Park lot off of Fifth at Beechwood)

We'll meet at Bakery Square, with several route, coffee, and outside sitting options, and we'll discover if they still show sports on the giant screen at 8 am.   If you park in the Mellon Park lot, just walk across the baseball field to the crosswalk over Penn to Bakery Square.  It briefly occurred to me that we could get coffee at the new Amazon - I mean Whole - Foods instead, but on recent investigation, that place feels like a huge boondoggle.  Let's discuss.

Our visit to Downtown and the Hill was inspiring!  Charming new homes, expansive views, the renovated August Wilson House, the site of Max's Dad's childhood home, The CAP I-579 park where Beth explained the water flow designs, etc.  Other topics:

  • The Art Commission is meeting about designs for the Fern Hollow Bridge/Trail on Wed. Aug 24 in the afternoon - zoom link and timing here if you're interested.
  • Find out how to make a pollinator garden on 8/27 at 7 pm in North Park.
  • Word on Pittsburgh basements: "if they don't have odor control, they smell bad."
  • Word on panhandlers: how to respond with kindness and good sense? The Pope has an idea.
