Four Mile Run was buried in a pipe a long time before Sol Gross buried it further. When the City stopped him, he sued them for taking away the use of his land. The suit went on for many, many years. At one point damages were set at an astronomical $6.5 million but that was overturned. Eventually it settled somehow. Now the City owns the land.

Never knew that about Four Mile Run. What a stinky thing. I’m glad it was stopped, but why is the criminal still free? I hate buried streams. So wrong!

You can still see Kingfishers in the back chanel at Washington’s Landing. And last week while rowing we saw a Great Blue Heron on the Allegheny River.

Even before I got to the p.s. I was going to post that I often see them at Duck Hollow. Beautiful birds that can hover over the river when spying a tasty morsel.
