Michael Sally's Great Race Recap in Boring Pittsburgh
This 2011 City of Pittsburgh Great Race Recap is brought to you by #BurghVerified runner @MichaelSally. He ran the 10K race, which started at 9:30am in Frick Park at Beechwood Boulevard. The course is 6.2 miles and takes runners down Forbes Avenue, through CMU, across Oakland, into Downtown, and finally ending at Point State Park. It’s interesting to note that within that distance, there are three major parks and five universities. By the way, there was also a 5K race that started at Atwood and Fifth at 8am.
Keep in mind that the pics/video were taken with a cell phone… while running. Observe the timestamps to see how long it takes to get to one side of town to the other by foot. Follow @MichaelSally for a good time! Continue reading + Discuss

Levin Furniture, Bangkok Balcony, Littles Shoes Fire on Forbes Avenue
There was a fire in the storefront of Levin’s Sleep Center this morning which caused the entire block of Forbes Avenue between Shady and Murray to be shut down. The smoke from the burning mattresses (and whatever else they sold there) caused damage to Littles Shoes and Bangkok Balcony upstairs. Even hours later, the lingering odor from the smoke was intoxicating and reeked of poisonous fumes. The Thai restaurant will be closed for a little while, and the shoes on that side of the shoe store will need replaced. Maybe they’ll have a big sale to dump all their damaged shoes – or they can donate them.
