Donate $85–”Philadelphian” Tote Bag
What are you doing with a tote bag that says “New Yorker” when you’re a Philadelphian? Let’s fix that.
Donate $100– EXCLUSIVE “Broad Street Boogie” Tour of South Philly
Saturday, February 7 @ 1pm
Love South Philly? Love adaptive reuse and old signs? Join Michael Bixler, editorial director of Hidden City Philadelphia, on a stroll down South Broad Street. He will give a then-and-now history lesson on obscure buildings and locations along the way and point out some of South Philly’s coolest old signs. The walk begins outside of the mid-century modern headquarters of the Order Sons of Italy in America (now Programs Employing People and PEP Bowl bowling alley) and ends under the Boot and Saddle sign and on a barstool at Solar Myth. It’s going to be a great opportunity to slow down with others and see a familiar stretch of the city with fresh eyes. (Note: If the February weather is too punishing, attendees will be surveyed about later dates.)
