We know about the yummy confections at Five Points, but they also have Espresso a Mano coffee and some seating, so we'll give that a try this week. It's at 6520 Wilkins, corner of Severn, street parking all around. We can walk around a neighborhood poetry installation, wander through the famous graves in Homewood Cemetery (including the Princess, my favorite), see the marvelous mosaics made by Max, etc.
Last week we visited the Strip environs once again, and rounded the 3 Rivers, wondering: why they didn't turn on the fountain?! Or the fabulous water walkway under the Convention Center?! These were sorely missed, but at least at La Prima #2 we celebrated the return of Springtime and outdoor convos. What we learned:
- You can use Maps on your iPhone to locate your car.
- Verona has a great pickleball court.
- Everyone seems to have HOKA running shoes. Why?
- Buying a new mattress, a baffling ordeal: Saatva? Costco? The Original Mattress Factory? These seem to be worth considering.
- Whom to elect soon as Allegheny County Executive: another baffling ordeal - so watch this recent debate.
- After you wake up from that, you could also watch Pretty Baby.
- Listen: to the mellifluous Small Hours trio at the Pittsburgh Winery, April 30 at 3:30 pm.
