On Sunday, we'll meet at the entrance to CMU's Baker Hall, 4825 Frew Street (map) as our Janes invite us post-run to their professorial lair for a Big Book Giveaway! There will be a post-run breakfast and free books (mainly literary fiction) selected over years to delight and enlighten their students, and now us. There should be parking on Frew Street, but if not, there's more in front of Phipps.
Last week we delved into deep Shadyside and did a reconnaissance of the spanking new Market District emporium in E. Liberty. It looks pretty good, especially the beer. Some highlights from our 2! coffee confabs this week follow.
But first, as this week's Resistance Activity, a reminder to be part of the "We Ain't Buying It" boycott of Amazon, Home Depot, and Target from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday. Explained here and organized by Indivisible, No Kings, 50501, etc. Boycotts work.
Other stuff we like:
- Pearl Nail Salon continues its appeal with added benefit of Mormer ladies in the house.
- Nouveau Designer Consignment in Aspinwall for the special occasions. But enter the shoe store next door at your financial peril.
- Save the date for the upcoming Bhangra in the Burgh which will be wild.
- We remembered the brilliant Sally Kalson, PG columnist and human being par excellence. (See below for a classic piece unearthed by Wendy comparing the original Squirrel Hill Giant Eagle to a vagina.)
- Sharon, Aimee, and Wendy shared tips on finding money in the street (Wilkins & Wightman corner is good) and how to preserve karma on finding it.
- Watch movies: Strictly Ballroom; Loving.
- If you're planning a trip to Canada soon, make sure you've figured out what you need to cross the border - passport card, real ID, Global Entry, ??
- Not endorsed: "taking care of shit" fatigue.
