Being an in between weather person, (not too hot-not too cold), I find this time of the year exquisitely exciting. September kicks off with the death of summer as the leaves begin to fall & create a backdrop for October. What's there not to love? You've got Halloween, The World Series, Football, bouquets of unsharpened pencils, hot cider, vibrant colors of orange & red bleeding together and that unmistakable smell of the hint of winter lingering around the corner.
This blog represents all the fun things you can do to reconnect with the city and yourself.
Kelly Drive
Try taking a walk with yourself, you'll be surprised what kind of fun shenanigans you come up with. The people watching in itself is enough to get me out of the house. We've got quite the characters in Philly. I personally like to give folks stories as I watch them jog or sit and have a picnic. It's amusing. If you get to Kelly Drive right before the sunsets, you'll have a handful of professional-esque photos that you don't have to pay a bundle for. You also get the satisfaction of taking the shot yourself.
Jefferson Square Park
You can count on this park having events nearly every weekend. From dusk showings of classic films to Flea Markets with gems around every turn. There's also fun projects for kids every Thursday evening! Talk about a walk in the park. There are even Archeological digs!!
The Piazza @ Schmidts
What a great experience for folks of all ages. You've got a concrete park that accommodates with benches and large umbrellas, great for dog walking and mingling. Window shopping has never been so fun. It's a little city within itself. There are cute little bars and B.Y.O.'s at every turn. Boutiques of clothing, music & art literally surrounds you. I recommend this area for reading, writing... I've even busted out my paints & brushes at a sitting here. There seems to be an event going on almost everyday. Whether you wanna watch the Phillies game or an old black & white film. This place offers everything.
If you're looking for something a little different, give philly.com a try. Everything you need to know for a date with the city is there.
With the soft breeze rolling in, you should take this chance to explore a little while the weather still bearable. Sunsets, hoppy beer and some art gazing is all you need to fall in love with the city. Won't you try it?
