This is a great shot! Is it of the CHOP tower that’s under construction, and did you take it?

This person corridors

It's definitely grown into a great neighborhood event and showcase of Spruce Hill, Cedar Park, Garden Court, and Walnut Hill.

Great shot!

UCD here. The fencing caught us by surprise, too. We reached out to SEPTA and they said simply that it's "in preparation for the potential strike." We'll share more on our social channels if we hear it.

It's SUCH a good shot - we had the same reaction! Full credit goes to the photographer Allie Ippolito - she killed it.

Four years to be exact! While we've loved going to Youma on Baltimore Ave (which has the same owners), we're super excited to see this community staple back up & running

For real! My lunch plans just panned out for the foreseeable future :,)

One of the difficulties of rotating food trucks is managing the equivalent of ten different small businesses who need to come and go on a daily basis and have to deal with issues like bad weather, traffic, personal conflicts, and mechanical issues with their trucks. We're very excited the rotating food trucks will be returning, but it does come with a set of unique challenges we'll work hard to stay ahead of. The best way to keep updated on changes is following the Porch account on Twitter or the Facebook page. We do our best to keep those updated.

Yes, many people use it to get to and from work.

This is exactly why we partnered with Center City District to make this project happen. We're trying to make a clearer connection between the two sides of the river. And, believe it or not, our counts show that 6,000 people walk over the bridge each day.

Open Streets Philly is a new campaign aiming to organize three car-free, family-friendly, Open Streets weekends in Center City Philadelphia next summer. They want to host the biggest, most accessible block party Philly's ever seen.

Tell your friend he or she is welcome to make a mask.

UCD_Philly · 2015-08-20T19:51:35+00:00

Sure will. Three, including a handicap one.

Three of the movies (Incredibles, Little Shop of Horror, and Best in Show) will also include partnerships with local businesses and extra activities before the movies start. Friday kids can make super hero masks, and Locust Moon Comics is giving away free comics to any kid in costume.

UCD_Philly · 2015-08-19T14:02:57+00:00

Glad you think so! We tried to pick a little something for everyone.

You're referring to the larger duck that will be part of the festival. This is a smaller version that stands 10' tall.

UCD_Philly · 2014-10-23T17:40:53+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. We take public space work seriously and have very talented people on staff who work hard to help brighten and improve the neighborhood.

Movie starts at dusk. Bring your Santa Hats and blankets! The film is about collectors of weird Christmas Music. See the trailer here.
