Another Sunday, another new coffee house: we'll discover the new Arabica Robusta (prize for best name) in Homestead (map), and explore that quirky, historic locale, home apparently of the "most famous event in labor history," Also a former church that is now a Dragon's Den, and an old bank given over to axe-throwing.
Last Sunday in Oakmont we skirted the Allegheny in the dawn light, and then encountered the most unusual cafe emporium in RG history. We were not quite prepared for the Oakmont Bakery. But we decoded the kiosks and responded appropriately when numbers were called. We found a table away from the melee inside, and managed to accumulate some fine pastries without day-glo frosting. For some reason, the "expresso drink" list didn't contain an expresso, but the coffee worked its charm anyway.
- Resistance activities of the week -
- Protest Citizens Bank (here are ways and more info.) for funding immigrant prisons. At least sign the petition.
- Put this on your calendar: the next national NO KINGS rally - Oct. 18, 12:30, City-County Bldg. There are some preliminary ones, too - this one is this Sunday in Oakland. But on Oct. 18, we need everyone in the streets.
- Things to do in DC (besides avoiding masked federal agents): the National Building Museum, the Postal Museum, and Ford's Theater.
- the new VW Electric Camper - it's not at Woodstock anymore
- Chiboust wedding cake - was it fair to assign someone to make this for 70 people?
- Listen to podcasts: The Rest is History; Throughline
- Our Senator Dave McCormick lives in Squirrel Hill - who knew? His real home has been in CT.
- For RG devotees of the Boden Sample Sale - it's Oct. 4 at the Convention Center.
