May 24 Run/Walk: Meet at Biddle's Escape, 401 Biddle Ave., Wilkinsburg

Besides the Run and the Walk, there is also the Bike, so we cheer for our 2-wheeled sisters on their trek starting Sunday to parts known and unknown.  We await your report!  For the rest of us, we'll meet at Biddle's, 7 a.m., maybe bring an umbrella.

Last week in our maiden voyage to West View, apparently once the site of an amusement park that rivalled Kennywood, we saw a Lithuanian cemetery, a range of City Steps, and Gretchen's childhood home.  Coffee at West View Brew was adorable, featuring a uniquely toothsome blueberry scone-muffin. In other news:

  • Save the date!  Buffalo Rose at the Arts Festival, Thursday June 11 at 7:30 at the new Arts Landing downtown.  Let's make it an RG tradition - 
  • It's rhubarb time, so head on down to the Rhubarb Festival in Intercourse PA! Oops, we missed it, (May 15) - let's try to get there next year.  But there's still lots more to do in Intercourse. 
  • Watch the terrific schmaltzy escape film Remarkably Bright Creatures.
  • Bobbi's church, the Unity Center of Pittsburgh, sounds like a balm for the soul in these times.
  • Usually like-minded, we differ strongly on self check-out.  (The one in supermarkets).
