What: Pittsburgh Monthly Fur Meet! (Schenley Plaza) With summer upon us, we should take advantage of the warm weather and longer evenings and try an capture an out of doors venue where we can not only sit, relax and enjoy the free WiFi, but also play a little. Schenley Plaza allows for a covered sitting area, as well as grassy areas for throwing frisbees and the Quad area which has been popular with those playing lazer tag. Food and drinks are available just up the road at the 7-11 on Forbes Avenue, or at the many eateries another block down the road. Schenley Plaza is a part of the City Parks Conservatory. Fursuits, ears and tails are welcome, just use your judgment when dealing with the public. Pets, and their responsible owners, are also welcome at Schenley Plaza. In the event of rain, we will return to our old home at the Panera Bread on the Blvd of the Allies in Oakland. The meet is what you make of it, so come on out and have some fun with fellow Pittsburgh Area furs! Don't forget to bring and show off your con badges if you have them! It at least helps us know who you are on the inside. Hope to see you there! Swift Fox |
Do you know what busses run by Schenley? In all likelihood, I'm gonna have to take the bus there and then again back to Job Corps...which means I won't be able to stay as long as I'd like...it'll be a pain, but at least I have a bus pass. Is there any possibility I might be able to bum a ride off of someone?

The Port Authority website has a Trip Planner on the Home Page where you can put where you are and where you need to go and it'll give you the buses that'll get you there. You want to get off at Forbes or Fifth and Bigelow Blvd.
If you Google Forbes Ave. and Bigelow Blvd. you'll see Schenley Plaza right there.

I might actually try to make this if I can. Now, I'm not familiar with this plaza and I gotta ask, are we gonna be doing a lot of walking or anything that involves a lot of moving around? Reason is I have a fractured ankle and I can't go walking around a lot on crutches. I mean if it's not a whole lot of walking it's cool and should be no prob. If the plaza has wheel chairs that would be even cooler. Just please let me know those details cuz I really would like to come if I can and able to.
Schenley Plaza used to be a large parking lot in the middle of the University of Pittsburgh campus. Several years ago the city parks reclaimed the space and turned it into a urban park.
The only walking you'd need to do is from where you park your car to a place to sit at a table under the big tent.
Sorry I wasn't able to be in attendance at this last meet there. I hope you were able to go and had an enjoyable evening.
I +watched you on FA.
