What we’re about

This is a group for those of us who are older, wiser and perhaps a little slower and stiffer than the young people who turn out for many of the other meetups. The goal is to provide a variety of activities—something for everyone—so we can make new friends and find adventures together. We are inclusive and tolerant of all beliefs and backgrounds. From movies, museums and meals to concerts and hikes, we'll find ways to connect and support one another. We also hope others will step up and join us in planning and organizing events. Let's celebrate our age and experience!

Fri, Aug 1, 2025, 11:30 AM EDTWalk in Frick Park + Café at the Frick
Café at the Frick, Pittsburgh, PA
First, at 11:30, we will take a walk through Frick Park, down Homewood Trail and back up on Tranquil Trail. There is a steeper hill going down, and a more gradual hill going back up. Wear comfortable walking shoes that can get dirty since it may rain the day before ... the hike is about 1 mile. Afterward, at about 12:45, we can enjoy lunch at the Café at the Frick on the Frick Museum grounds. Menu and Café Info. You may attend just the hike or just lunch or both. The weather should be good (forecast is partly sunny and 79°). If that changes to rain, I will cancel the hike and just offer the lunch.

We will meet at the entrance to the parking lot of The Frick museum on Reynolds street at 11:30 am. Parking in the lot is free and on the area streets as well.

Sun, Aug 3, 2025, 1:30 PM EDTFort Pitt Museum, with Marion our guide
Fort Pitt Museum, Pittsburgh, PA
Once again, we will have the fabulous Marion Hutchison as our tour guide!

Fort Pitt Museum is in Point State Park, in downtown Pittsburgh.

All on-street parking is free on Sundays. Aim to be there by 1:20, and give yourself time to find parking. The closest garage parking, on Commonwealth, is closed due to Pt. Park construction. The closest garage is on Liberty Ave - so you might as well find free on-street parking.

Ticket charge is only $8 for seniors, $10 for other adults. Feel free to bring a friend. If you want to bring your grandchildren, it is $6 for ages 6-17.

Our tour guide Marion Hutchison is a wonderful, informative, and entertaining guide. S I was amazed at our local history that Marion explained so well - including Western Pennsylvania’s pivotal role during the French & Indian War, the American Revolution, and more...

They have a new exhibit about the history of American Indians in the 1700's.

Tue, Aug 5, 2025, 6:00 PM EDTDinner at Mediterranean Grill in Squirrel Hill
Mediterranean Grill, Pittsburgh, PA
On-street parking is free after 6:00 pm, on Forbes Ave. Parking on side-streets is always free.

*They will give us separate checks if we pay be check. Please bring cash to pay for your meal.

This is on Forbes across from Chase Bank. Don't confuse it with the Mediterranean Cuisine Turkish restaurant a few doors closer to Carnegie Library.

The Mediterranean Grill is a family owned and operated business established in Pittsburgh’s East end in 1992. Eva, the proprietor, came from from Lebanon to the US in 1978, along with her husband, Said and children. Eva was inspired to use her passion for cooking as an instrument to create a career for herself and thus have the means by which to share authentic, homemade Lebanese dishes with the rest of Pittsburgh. Eva‘s brother, Elias, a chef by profession, immigrated to the US in 1991, the undertaking of bringing this inspiration into materialization began.

Here is the menu: https://medgrillpgh.com/
They close at 8 pm, so if you can look at the menu and have an idea what you want, that will speed up orders.
