A Run Up Memory Lane
No strolls down memory lane for these gals...we did a traditional eight mile loop that we used to always do in Shadyside. We met at "the corner" and then headed up Beechwood, through Squirrel Hill and back down Wilkins. Notable occurrences from the run - a comment on that blue car with corrugated aluminum on all the windows - "Has that car EVER moved?" (Answer - I don't think since we've all lived in Pgh that it has moved.) Also, we witnessed the aftermath of a hit and run accident on Murray. We are pretty sure no one was injured, but a car sideswiped at least three cars and a bike (chained to a parking meter) and pushed a jeep onto the sidewalk, enough that it broke the store front window it was next to. We witnessed the firetruck coming to the scene a few moments later (unfortunate occurrence, but good distraction for making it up the Murray Avenue hill).

Hi! It was great reading through your post about our old loop. It brought back a lot of memories and I could picture the scenery. Yes, that hideous car. I think it's comical how they have kept it covered. I don't know how it is really protected from the weather...that's scary about the hit and run! Totally crazy. Definitely a good distraction up the tortuous Murray Ave. Hill! I miss that route. :)
