summer in the city

well, it's been a while since i've posted and as i've mentioned before, i think this is kind of illustrative of what happens once the semester is in full swing. all of a sudden, everything is a tornado of confusion and people are just trying to keep up. this semester, i wanted to write more about practitioner inquiry, but didn't get the chance.

what i do want to talk about in this blog though is reasons to stay in philly over the summer. it would be hard for me to argue against philly since i actually live here, and while stuff happens in the city all year round, the summer is just the best time to be a philadelphian. there's lots to do and most of it doesn't cost a lot: center city sips -- weekly extra-discounted happy hours at select restaurants in center city; concerts in the park -- rittenhouse's summer outdoor concert series; weekend walking through fairmount park; shows and dance parties -- http://www.philebrity.com/listings/; and just tons more.

if i could though (and if i weren't a full-time worker), i would opt to spend each day reading in a different cafe or park around the city. just this saturday, my husband and i spent time in logan square, clark park, and the penn turtle pond. we also had coffee and eats at cafe lift, the greenline cafe, and the belgian cafe. bottom line: why leave when you can stay?
