... storming the Capitol, the country is on fire, and I'm writing a review for Flagstaff Hill on/for TripAdvisor. Somebody on CNN just called it the Bonfire of Insanities going on right now. I was here on Flagstaff Hill this morning though. I did my walk in Schenley Park today and came through this area. The hill has a somewhat nice view of the city, but I'm not sure what is so significant about it that it should be listed as an attraction on TripAdvisor. You would think there would be a flag pole on top of the hill but I didn't see one. They do have a flag pole at the bottom with a plaque monument to the 150th anniversary of the US flag which happened in 1927 so I guess that has something to do with it. I was walking on the grass on the hill when I soon discovered I was in a sea of goose maybe duck feces all around. Long neck birds they are; I'm not sure what they're good for. Anyway, I felt disgusted by walking in all this stuff and left real quick. By the time I got home, not much seems important anymore.
MoreTook my bike on a long tour of Pittsburgh and one of the places I stopped was between CMU and Phipps conservatory. It's a large park on the top of a hill with a great view of the Conservatory, the Cathedral of learning and parts of Pittsburgh. It's got lots of space for kids to run and it's dog friendly. I stopped to have a snack, sitting on the grass and enjoyed the view.
