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!

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.

Shovel your neighbor’s walks if they can’t (or don’t), offer to shovel for folks who can. Ice is a dangerous nuisance and the best way we can prevent Ice from taking hold is by working together to prevent Ice from gaining a toehold.

Know your neighbors and shovel with them.

First off, yes, it’s going to snow. Saturday evening to Monday. Going to be cold too.

If you’re not ready (food, coffee, ice melt, shovels, beer, what have you), get supplies TODAY.

Second – DO NOT DRIVE. Really. Leave the roads open for emergencies. Park your car (if you have one). Leave it.

Third – Think twice before ordering delivery. Those folks shouldn’t be out on the roads either. Text me. I’ll come over and make you a grilled cheese.

Fourth – Everything on this list is likely to be cancelled so check the website before venturing out. We will post cancellations if we get them.
