Walking Sights

Saturday afternoon, Norm and I took a walk on part of the new St. Vincent Greenway trail that runs through parts of the university campus, on both the north and south side. It is a bike trail but also handy for pedestrians like us. One of our sightings was the new baseball field, under construction behind the old Normandy Hospital, which is being slowly dismantled with care, since it was full of asbestos when the university bought the property.

Another changing sign of the times is this corner at 7940 Natural Bridge, the former location of the student newspaper. The newspaper is now in the student center, and this high profile corner is now a rest stop on the bike/hiking trail. An interpretive display, benches and a trash receptacle reside here now.

Our walks should be more frequent, now that the weather is cooler. We go to water aerobics on Tuesdays and Thursdays, low-impact dry land aerobics on Monday (Norm) and Wednesday (both), and I also go to Tai Chi Quigong on Mondays and Fridays. Even with all that, we are often shocked at how easy it is to get "out of shape" if we miss even a week.

You mean they have desecreated the holy ground at 7940 Natural Bridge and finally erected a new structure?

Does the "interpretive" stuff mention The Current at all?
