Where Religion, History and Art Meet in Philadelphia

Christ Neighborhood Church is located in the perfect nook for a historical building to grow vines and rest for centuries unseen. Just half a block from second and Market st., Christ Neighborhood would be a great spot for “adventurous” tourists to sneak back and take photos of, but this location is not an abandoned spot in the historical neighborhood and it is not primarily snatching up tourists. The building, renovated in 2010, serves as a host to experimental artists and churchgoers alike: a conglomerate of daily Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, contemporary performances and holy practice in an office space meets American foundation building.

First Friday is a Philly thing. It’s just one of those things, you know? But, after the 5 – 9 p.m. event  in old city, there is plenty do to before either: A. clogging up the expensive old city bars or, B. calling it quits for the night.

Yes, Old City will stay open to accommodate your drinking needs, so fear not if you don’t feel like walking, like, 8 blocks to a different part of the city. Just know that lodged in between the Locust, Walnut, 11th and 12th street, there is a small dive bar that opens its doors to all communities once a month.

A Delayed Opening Was Already Too Much

Lynn McNulty usually gets to school at 7 a.m., but had to change her routine according to the delayed opening at the Hun School in Princeton, NJ. Like so many, McNulty relies on the Penn. Turnpike to get to work, but the devastating accident on the morning of Valentine’s day essentially froze her commute to work.

After emergency responders took control and initial damages were assessed, the pile-up became more of an inconvenience to those who weren’t in immediate danger, surrounded by immobile vehicles and minor collisions. “Two cars right next to me collided,” recalls McNulty. “There were little pocket accidents.”
