March 15 Run/Walk: Redstart Coffee is in the Detective Building on N. Euclid Ave.
We learned about the Anvil and Anchor Coffee Bar, where we met on Sunday, because Aimee's colleague's cat had to get chemo nearby and the colleague needed a place to sit and wait. And thus we sat, and some of us tasted a sliver of donut, though donuts have no food value whatsoever, and worse, it was reported, "make your teeth gritty."
But the coffee shop was spacious and empty and there was more than enough room for the small group of us who arrived at what was really 6:00 AM. Ben Avon has many fine old houses and points of interest. Here, long ago, Gretchen's mother taught elementary school. Runners got to do a little trail run through Vinegar Hollow. http://hollowoak.org/our-conservation-areas/vinegar-hollow/.
Ben Avon is also the site of the Emsworth Locks and Dam. Emsworth Locks and Dam
The Borough's name comes from Scottish Gaelic and means "hill on the water." It's pronounced Ben - Ah-vuhn, which according to AI, rhymes with "pen oven." You might try that out and see if anyone understands you.
Endorsements and advice:
Time for that colonoscopy? Try Magee or St. Margaret's, instead of Shadyside, where the prep is "insane."
Propofol is the drug of choice for colonoscopies. It is not endorsed for recreational purposes.
When in need of a public toilet, hotels are a good option. This assumes a hotel is nearby. Penn Mac has a restroom for the truly desperate - maybe. In short, we agreed that the dearth of public facilities is yet another issue that needs to be addressed.
