New Day, Still Cold, We Enter The Land Of Eternal Sneckdown, Keep Hope Warm and Alive
Looks like it’s going to be cold for a while. Check in on neighbors. Keep shoveling the debris out of sidewalks.
As hard as it is, get out of the house each day if you can. Walk around the block. Stare at the sky. Curse the weather if you must.
Spring is right around the corner.

Posters are Art
We are very very proud of our thrice annual posters, each a new work of art by a Philly artist, each one a gem. See for yourself!
https://roxyunk.org/posters-are-art/
Physical information in a neighborhood is a good proxy for walkability and community health. If there are enough eyes on the street to make flyers and posters worth hanging, that’s a good sign.
