explore my city

Particularly art resources—Philly has a crazy amount of stuff for artists. No joke. Some of these are:

Philadelphia Sketch Club

Plastic Club

These are two places where you can sketch for three hours for 5-9 dollars a pop. That is cheap—especially if you have a professional nude model!

Fleisher Art Memorial
I know of no other place that will give you a 75% discount on a 300 dollar professional art course. And the facilities are great.

And First Friday’s truly rock.

I really love this city.

I loved it. I did not know the Rosenbach at all. Great way to explore the city.

And I am just loving Philly. Could see myself living here in the long term, or at least for a few years. I love knowing I am in an interesting city I can also handle.

Went out on May Day to Old City. Not exactly new in terms of exploring, but at least new since I got here. Got drenched, but loved it. I love Old City.

Now I am in Philadelphia. I used to live here before, so the city is not precisely new. But, for the first time ever, I went walking by the Schuykill river, which I never did the four years I was here. It is pretty amazing! I really loved it. I feel exercising (walking and hopefully biking) will make me explore the city more.

For the first time in six months, since I got back here. Everything is so rundown, but still managed to hit a few spots I know and enjoy—largely because I was escaping my home, because of this.

Even got to see an art show somewhat unexpectedly.

Next time though, I will be exploring areas of the city I have less of an idea about, and have not gone to on my own.
