Hash in the 'Hood
true trail
---
At chalk talk, special mark: "H", as for home invasion. At end of chalk talk, right from the GetGo, this trail was going to be in 'Hood Style: the hare scribbles an arrow and says trail starts here, with the arrow pointing to a fence. People start climbing and jumping over fence. Only half succeed. Many renounce and see there is an alternative route. Just Mark shows his military training style in getting over this urban warfare obstacle. Run is around a few blocks, with reclaimed residential lots by East Liberty Redevelopment Group, a non-profit that has been active in the 'hood, like, for example, convincing Whole Foods to set up shop here. We're following the FRBs, and all of a sudden, around a corner, three white guys, dressed in street clothes, are talking to a seated black man with his hands tied behind his back. We're right where the action is. A few more blasts of trombone sound, and we're almost back to the hare's house, in a house that the hare is renovating. First beer stop. Some paint ball shooting in the basement. The paint ammo is in a glass jar, and Purple Princess mistakes them for candy and chews one of them. After several turns in paint ball shooting, the pack is on back on trail. Sherpes leaves trombone, and switches to bicycle transportation. Marks lead to Black St, uphill to where there used to be a public housing project that got demolished a few years ago. We had a hash here not that long ago, it was hared by Windy Pops, a naive welsh PhD student who didn't care about the neighborhood crack houses. At the time, the local residents asked us "who U running away from?" when they saw us running. This time, no such curiosity: we're a known entity, they know us now... right adjacent to cemetery shiggy, a parked van with beverage tank... second beer stop. Pile of gravel is good overlook spot for a few. Num Nuts finds a bicycle in the shiggy. Pack is restless, on on into the cemetery, grassy fields, shiggy, woods and vines, trail is lost, and indecicive hashers don't want to get to close to fenced perimeter and never see marks that continue across the fence, so finally, technology on trail is used to voice-connect with the hare to obtain a resolution on where true trail is, and once relayed, the pack is back on the trail AND force-through the perimeter, crossing from the Land of the Dead into the Land of the Living. A check on the bottom of a dirt road and a false below that forces people on a steep slope to reach the street by crawling under a reticular urban obstacle, then shiggy on a corner, and emerging into a Extreme Makeover Home Edition went bad project overlooking the Lawrenceville Upper Ward. Beer stop #3. Some of pgh finest showed up asking us for credentials, at which someone responded "just a bunch of sweaty runners". On On back on trail, a false down below on city steps, back on top, a few criss-cross in residential streets, and a final beer stop in a residential driveway. From there is On-In, KGB borrowing Sherpes's Gary Fisher bike that carries the history of having been found while laying trail on the Hill District while laying trail in his inaugural hare trail. Back at base camp, we're relieved that our vehicles are still there, intact, no glass damage, apparently Mexi-Pad is well known in the 'Hood, and the boys took good care of our belongings. Or maybe it was Hung Like This fashion attire, with gold chain and bandana that "gelled" well with the locals. After munching tacos and sitting on barrels around what is not a campfire, but two kegs, Circle is opened and three new boots are shown how the Down-Down ritual is performed. Three pimps. Autohashers. Cyclists. Prodigals. Trombonists. Lost & Found collectors. Paint Ball mistaken for Candy. ... and an attempt was made to name Just ... but there was no karma, and it was delegated to a future date (but we know he likes to play with balls of fire, that's his Facebook picture)

Poon Lim Landing Day Hash
True Trail to last beer stop was 5.5 miles

Article on the Trib about the Landslide farming community
Article on the Post-Gazette
The farm house almost got evicted
beer stop map for Noah
that's the map that the hare drew for Noah who couldn't run and corrupted the hare for beer stop locations. Noah used that map, and got to the Snack Stop 30 minutes before everyone else, so early that he called the hare to say "when are ying getting here? I am seriously outnumbered"
Harry Squatter, without a physical map, but certainly with a mental map, got to Beer Stop 2 after talking with the hare in two short phone calls: the first to get him into the vicinity of the Birmingham Bridge and Fifth, and the second to find specific features that identified the beer stop area. What's is interesting is that Harry Squatter walked from Greenfield neighborhood on the Eliza Furnace Trail, and there were marks on it for the leg between BS 2 and BS 3. I think he saw them but ignored them.
Sex Pak, while in the vicinity of BS 2, got to the false on Second Avenue, but then, instead of returning to the last check, chose to get on the bicycle trail and walk back to Bates St. He saw flour marks on trail and felt he was back on track (but he did miss BS 2).
Bible Banger also found the Second Avenue false, believing the hare was going to use the bike trail, but unlike Sex Pak, she did return to the last check and evenutally to the area where Beer Stop 2 was, and joined the party already in progress.
Beer Stop 2 "aim-off" was a back check 8, off a ruined stone wall. Everyone except Mexi Pad looked sideways into the ruins. Mexi, for his curiosity of ruined buildings and addiction to fixing them, eventually spotted Harry Squatter that was standing on top of the slope beyond the ruins. He saw people walking by, but chose not to reveal himself. After all, he had a tank full will a gallon of East End Brewer Snow Melt fuel to slowly consume.
Noah, Buffalo Nut, Bito-Honey, HypnoTits and others, were sent ahead of the FRBs thanks to the hare short-cutting marks for them, but once they reached the back check 8, they chose not to return. They had enough. The FRBs pack 1 did return, and at the same time, FRBs pack 2 were approaching. They conferenced and determined which was the eight mark, and suddenly 10 hashers showed up at the beer stop location.
Whiff never found BS 2, apparently he chose the 7th mark as "back check 8", and took another trail from a Y intersection, found the red tent of a homeless guy, continued up the hill that eventually led him to the steps and victorian castle that was walked upon on the leg between Chatam College and Snack Stop. Whiff eventually found BS 2 and no hashers (we left) so he caught up with the pack by the time we were in the climbing stage halfway between BS 2 and BS 3.
According to a very short email from WMD, he and No Code, instead of descending to Chatam College from the Petersen event area, they chose high ground, and somehow found marks (I don't know how they did it, but very clever, because the hare didn't put any marks on sidewalks) and eventually reached the check under the Birgingham bridge. I don't think they found BS 2 or BS 3.
On Forbes, a young man approached the pack and asked if we were hashers. He identified himself as a student from Eire, and said he hashed there. We invited him to join in, but was busy with school work.
The first BS was supposed to be a Saloon on Atwood one block from Forbes, but apparently they open at 7, so Gooey Decimal, who was there first thanks for technology on trail getting advance tips from the hare, sent the pack to a second BS potential outlet, but that was closed too. Eventually, all these univ of Pitt graduates settled for a third choice, Peter's Pub, and an impromptu B mark was chalked in front of that fine establishment. 10 minutes later, the hare received a call from WMD, like "where the F are you", and soon he too was able to join the rest of the pack.
Golden Showers was never seen again after the first 15 minutes. He saw the checks that the hare re-chalked with arrows while the hare was sweeping, but apparently mis-interpreted the directionality of an arrow pointing from the Mary Schenley fountain to the back of the Katz business school, and went for a solo run towards the Cathedral of Learning never to be seen again.
At Mad Mex, the waiter at the bar was very very fast in getting food and beverages to people. Thanks to Golden Showers sweet-talk, the manager gave happy hour prices for chips and dips.
Sphinx, Reptile, Titty Boy pimped.
Reptile Dysfunction showed off his pets, safely stored inside a cotton sheet pillow case. The indian food store in Atwood had its owner and children walk out in terror to see the herpetologist demonstration, but, no need to worry, these aren't Indian cobras.
For circle down downs, we left Mad Mex at 7 PM and reached the Saloon that was closed earlier. It was still closed. Gooey Decimal again to the rescue of the Lost Hasher Crowd, and directed the pack to Spice Cafe, an underground and dark space below a indian restaurant.
Just Andy was almost named. He picked up a used CVS drugstore badge that the hare circled with flour, and he pinned his chest with it. For being the only one to do that meant something, maybe an urge to be named, as the badge name was erased. names being thrown: Cockstumer Service, Pin Me Name, No Stinking Badges. But there wasn't enough karma and once again, the naming was delegated for future time.
Just Jen was named. I think I heard "Jizabell".
Just ... was named. the exact spelling not sure, but phonetically was like "Kunt Fu Weisel".

'70s Downtown Full Moon
true trail
church downtown
baby moon running
The Free Fare Zone was established to promote the use of transit within Downtown Pittsburgh, encourage intramodal transfer and reduce boarding delays. The Free Fare Zone is defined by the following boundaries:
* The Allegheny River
* The Monongahela River
* Ross Sreet, Bigelow Square, Penn Station, Liberty Ave @ RR overpass and 11th St.
--
Heroes' Way:
As part of this project, a sidewalk along the East side of the Cathedral will be opened to Oliver Avenue constituting the only mid-block joinder of Oliver and Sixth Avenues and providing new linkage between the Duquesne Club area and the development of Piatt Place (in the former Lazarus building). The green space of the churchyard will also be open to the public during daylight hours. Also envisioned are musical concerts by children during lunch hours in warm weather. A "Heroes' Way" is planned for this sidewalk connection to Oliver Avenue with tributes to Pittsburgh contemporary heroes such as the firemen who died in fighting the Ebenezer Baptist Church fire and the crew and passengers of Flight 93.
