I went to Akron Monday night for a dinner -- the Akron chapter of the Browns Backers Worldwide fan club was having an awards ceremony for some of the players. Anyway, I get back to Pittsburgh to go home, and I'm on Blvd. of the Allies in Schenley Park. I get to the turnoff for the Schenley Park Bridge (that goes into CMU's campus) and there's a cop there blocking the road.
OK, so I'll go around. I cross the bridge, turn onto Schenley Drive to go through the golf course, and have to dodge to the other side of the road to avoid a downed tree. Then I get onto Serpentine Drive to finish the loop and get back to where I originally wanted to be. Again, tree in the road.
I made it home OK (and the power had stayed on the whole time), but I had to wonder: What on Earth did the cops have everyone detouring around, if the detour itself had two roadblocks?
