Another neighborhood shot. This is the newly opened Race Street Pier. It was designed by Field Operations who worked on New York’s High Line. The new park is awesome. We sat by the edge for what seemed like ages; watching the boats sail by. New morning coffee spot.
Read MoreThanks to my pal Maryann Devine for turning me on to this video. Lot’s of Philadelphia Arts & Culture in one place. The Opera Company gets with flash mobs and performs at Reading Terminal Market. Other established arts organizations need to get out and bring art and performance to everyday places.
Great job Opera Company of Philadelphia!
Read MoreWandered by into this little shop. Some very nice arrangements. I hear they are new in old city. Looking forward to getting some flowers for the table there. I just felt very welcomed by the facade. I’ll be back.
Read MoreYesterday we met Chris. He’s the maintenance guy. He’s young energetic and he helped us with the Comcast survey guy. The Comcast guy was Michael. He’s a private contractor to Comcast of course. (Let’s not go into that story right now.) There is Mike the dogwalker who we met when he walked the dog from across the street; it’s his girlfriends business. There is Claude who does some work for the landlord; didn’t meet him just talked on the phone. Finally talked to Lynne who is going to clean the place before we move in.
It has begun.
Meeting new folks in a new neighborhood.
Read MoreTook this on a walk last week. The weather just seems to keep calling out for the evergreen. Love the tile house number!
Read MoreGot a few pics at the Reception. Thought I’d do a bit of cross-posting. Wanna know more about my art check out my studio journal. Enjoy.
Read MorePutting each drawer in took careful aim.
Task complete. What a great job.
Craig was an amazingly hard worker while helping us move. I think the rewards of going to the cafe for crepes and coffee was part of the motivation to get things done. Still, we had fun moving this piece of furniture and he put in each drawer by himself. He was very pleased when he completed the task. And helped me hang the George Nelson clock too; making sure it was straight.
We could still use some of his help.
Maybe I’ll give him a call.
Craig T thinks that Morning Glory is an awesome place to relax and have a good meal.
He had a terrific sandwich with potatoes and homemade catsup.
It has been a really fun visit in Philadelphia so far.
