Today was one of the first Saturday’s that I realized that Fall/Winter is here. When the weather is warmer, I tried to spend some time each weekend in a kayak or on a paddleboard. Today was spent indoors watching a movie.
If you haven’t had a chance to check out Pittsburgh from the river – you are missing out. To get almost anywhere in Pittsburgh, you’ve got to drive next to or across a river (sometimes two). But it isn’t as east to get onto the river.
I just received an email about a delicious-sounding dinner party that will set sail on the Allegheny river this Thursday. The folks from Urbanist Guide to Pittsburgh and Avenue B are teaming up to bring the dinner to the river. I’m happy to see more people planning events that happen on the water.
