Everyone loves Costco (especially the pants) so let's meet there and head to the GAP trail, to be followed by coffee outside of Starbucks/Panera. Sadly, the eagles have moved their nest elsewhere - probably sick of the paparazzi, as probably Sen. Fetterman is too, though he may be in the vicinity. This time we can run, walk or bike - a new feature!
Last week we auditioned the new Ineffable cafe next to the eye-opening Enson Market (apparently briefly to the Health Dept.). There was decent ambiance, good coffee, bad pastry, but excellent company. We ranged widely around Homewood and Pt. Breeze, featuring Howard's Community Garden (plus available compost bins), Westinghouse Park, the Brilliant Line, Homewood Library, the Bowling Green, and Frick Museum. All in a sliver of our Fair City! Much was endorsed:
- The Brillliant Line pedestrian/cycling trail from Aspinwall to Homewood ("and beyond") is underway.
- Read: books by James McBride, esp. the Heaven and Earth Grocery Store.
- Watch: The Horse Whisperer with Robert Redford (actually ANY movie with Robert Redford) and also Scarlett Johansson at 13.
- The Lawrenceville Art Crawl is this Saturday 1-9 pm.
- We remembered Josie and the Pussycats - movie (2001), TV series (70's) and comic book (60's). Only a few admitted to recalling that last one.
- Anna Li, amazing young founder of Korion Health, and a daughter of immigrants, who says "Why can't medicine be cute?"
- Howard's Garden, at Sterrett School, a community jewel, deserves a look at its gofundme page.
- Protest: Nat'l Rage Against the Trump Machine on Saturday at 11 - closest one is Forbes/Braddock.
