A Sense of Where We Are
In our neighborhood at least, things seem to have settled down a bit, most notably due to the twin arrivals of vaccines and Spring. Seems a good time to exhale(!) and take a look around.
And so what do we see?
As always, the lay of the land Philadelphia constitutes a unique blend of past, present and future, often side-by-side if not on top of one another.
Architecturally alone, the colonial past lives cheek-by-jowl with the very modern present and the future yet to come. (Think the Laurel across the Square from homes built in the 1700’s.)
And so while even on a good day it can all be a bit headspinning, would we really want it any other way? Nah. Certainly not in this neighborhood. It’s too much damn fun.

Leftovers No More. Check Out “Too Good To Go” |
No doubt you’ve found yourself musing “I wonder what happens to all the food left over at a restaurant when it closes for the evening”. Unfortunately, it is typically thrown away.
