Here's a map. There are picnic tables! And if a couple of people bring a chair and some coffee or other drinkable, maybe a treat too, that should work. Checking COVID-era entries it seems that in May of 2020 we were meeting on zoom 😢, but by May of 2021 we were finding outside seating and coffee to go. So we tip our baseball caps to the past and enjoy the predicted gorgeous weather!
Last week, we were outside too, on the Biddle's porch after a tour through that handsome end of Wilkinsburg and a fantastically verdant Frick Park. We discovered later that one of the Biddle neighbors was arrested in an energetic FBI raid a day earlier for broadcasting particularly savage death threats. Craziness is in the air, people. We are trying to stay sane by concentrating on:
- how to repel deer and bunnies by spraying a mix of 50% water and 50% half & half.
- reading wondrous books, which we could start bringing to our coffee hour to trade. One mentioned: Station 11. One not mentioned: Outlander (ha!) And celebrating the wondrous writers in our group.
- And celebrating birthdays - this time Elena's - and more to come soon!
- Save the date! Saturday, June 6, 10 a.m. in front of the Citizen's Bank branch, 1801 Murray Ave. in Squirrel Hill. Citizens Bank finances the private prison operator GEO Group that runs the Moshannon Valley Processing Center, the largest ICE detention site in the Northeast, and a few hours from Pittsburgh. On that day, people will be protesting at Citizens branches all across the country. More info. here.
- Help to shut down Moshannon! There is a movement to contact the 3 Clearfield County Commisioners, who will be voting about renewing their contract with GEO Group. You can email
- John Sobel (R) jsobel@clearfieldcountypa.gov
- Tim Winters (R) twinters@clearfieldcountypa.gov
- David Glass (D) dglass@clearfieldcountypa.gov (you can thank Mr. Glass because he has agreed to vote to end the contract)
- More info. here.
