Have you got an opinion on the subject? Of course, you do; you’re a Philadelphian. And you know what you can do with that opinion? Take a survey of your thoughts, courtesy of the CCRA Historic Preservation Committee. Now is the time to be heard. You can thank us later. The survey closes on April 9.

Check out some of the pictures in the neighborhood. Maybe inspiration will hit you. If you do create a window box, we would love to see your creation. Send your pics to Travis Oliver and he'll post them on our social media sites.

Hopping a Flight at Long Last? Great. Here are the TSA’s COVID Rules: Pent-up demand for air travel? Show of hands? Thought so. While it figures to be sublime just jetting off to anywhere, the last thing you want is to be tripped up by a "gotcha" at the airport. The rules aren’t the same as pre-COVID. Know before you go: TSA & Covid.

Just because the Eagles crashed this season doesn’t mean that local area birds need to meet the same fate, as beginning April 1 several prominent Philadelphia buildings will go dark from midnight until 6 a.m. as part of the national “Lights Out” initiative to prevent migratory birds from colliding into buildings due to disorienting light pollution.

“By participating in the Lights Out event, Brandywine is committed to turning off all unnecessary exterior lighting during these migratory periods and do our utmost to shut off interior lighting and close window shades to minimize the light disruption to the bird population as it passes over Philadelphia.”

The PHS Pop Up Garden at South Street opens for the season this Thursday, April 1. Step into this newly planted urban oasis filled with greenery and colorful flowers. Comfy, new, socially distanced seating and a full menu will make this your go-to spot for an outing with your friends and family!
