Between 44th and 43rd Streets, Lawrenceville. Steve and I were driving back from dinner. Took a different route. Saw this street sign. Took a loop around the block so I could roll down the window and shoot. Love being a passenger. Here is an article about Fractional Street Addresses
An AGH (Allegheny General Hospital) Heart Transplant ran the Pittsburgh Marathon last Sunday. I thought about him today and I went back tonight and found his photograph. I took it just before Mile 20.
Absolutely incredible, isn’t it?
Wishing him all the best!
According to the article below from WTAE he had the transplant just 17 months ago

Pittsburgh Marathon is officially DICK’S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon- Here is a Pittsburgh Post -Gazette Article about PGH MarathonMay 2018!
I missed photographing the early wheelchair participants and the first and fastest runners who’d already run by. Got down the hill a little later this year.
Running to “remember Uncle Buddy” was touching.
Finding friends
The Volunteers and the workers who make the day possible.
My favorite shot of the day. This husband is running backwards, coaching his wife on to the finish. Just before Mile Marker 20. LOVE

Here’s the Post-Gazette article by Patricia Sheridan that my friend sent the other morning. Last week V and I toured the Pittsburgh Magazine’s Ultimate House penthouse and two of the condos in the fully restored and renovated old furniture showroom and warehouse Empire on Liberty.
All proceeds were given to Children’s Hospital Free Care Fund.
Just today, I realized I bought a carpet in 1989 at the former Roth Carpet Showroom which is now the available first floor retail space.

Wednesday evening, I came out of the restaurant to this scene.
Liberty Avenue and 36th Street. All surrounding roads were closed due to night paving.
Had to walk a few blocks to Penn Avenue so Steve could pick me up.
Dandelions are good for the bees. My friend heard it in the radio- leave the dandelions in your lawn! Saw these two lawns next door to one another at a duplex in Bloomfield. The Weekly Photo Challenge created by Krista Stevens is prolific.

While working on the upcoming (July 2018) People at Work show, I found this favorite in the archives. The Gridiron Grill at Heinz Field.
The only requirement was your photo had to be a square. Check!
Gilly’s been posting squares all month so I’m coming into the challenge at the end here on the 25th day. But I had a circle in a square and it was Gilly who was posting in response to BeckyB of Winchester’s March challenge.

Mend Way. Bloomfield. Right near West Penn Hospital. The one block alley/road between Millvale Avenue and Gross Street. I looked down while walking to my car.
All these textures!
Gravel, bricks, sand, dirt, concrete,dried leaves, my leather boot, cigarette butts and the shadows of the chain link fence.
There are many “Ways” in our city. I looked at the list of Street Names and wondered what determined the definition. Merriam-Webster says “Definition of way. 1 a : a thoroughfare for travel or transportation from place to place. b : an opening for passage.”
