The PA Fall Foliage report says that the trees get more stunning every day now, so let's savor while we can - this time in Schenley Park from the Wendy Bennett trailhead - here's a map. Then we'll probably head for 61C for coffee.
Last week - yet another delightful sojourn under the grand chandelier at the William Penn - actually several of them (see photos for our personalized tour of the ballroom - thank you Jeff Diamond, Security Supervisor!) Also we were among the first to traverse the spanking new Mon Wharf Trail that finally makes a smooth ride/run/walk all along the Mon to the fountain. (Does anyone recall when we ended up running on the off-ramp from the highway?) But there was also heartache from the sight of growing homeless encampments on the route. These are intense times.
Discussion covered:
- Yet more heartache from the news of the passing of Roland Ford - king of line dancing and inspiration to thousands - truly the Best of the Burgh as it says about him here (and scroll to see our representative.)
- Pittsburgh has been known for centuries as the true center of the universe. Not a joke.
- You can come up with more enlightenments by nature journaling as taught by the Sisters of St. Joseph.
- Our fair city also provided the nation's first EMT service by Black first responders in the Hill, as well as the invention of CPR by Pitt's Dr. Safar.
- Not to mention, Lawrence Welk and his bubble machine, right here in this building:
