🐝 “My goal is to have one [tiny market] in ev 🐝 “My goal is to have one [tiny market] in every borough of Philly,” says Yasmeen Brown of Bee's Tiny Market, "especially focusing on providing affordable access to healthy food in areas that are considered food deserts. And the stores will follow the same model: small, accessible corner stores. 🐝 “We want it to be in the neighborhood,” she says. “That’s our niche.” She wants it to be a place that kids can come by themselves and feel safe, adding that they do not sell tobacco products. “Every part of Philly should have that kind of safe place.” Click our link in bio to read all about @beestinymarket in our latest post! #blackownedbusiness #blackownedbusinesses minorityownedbrand #minorityownedbrands #fooddesert #healthyfood #communityeducation

🏘️ Dear Lois, what does restoration mean to 🏘️ Dear Lois, what does restoration mean to you? 🏘️ Before restoring anything, it’s important to examine what can stay as-is and what needs to be repaired, replaced or given a good scrubbing. It’s also important to have a strong end-vision. It takes belief to bring something back to life. To build it up, to improve and strengthen it. If you can’t envision it, how can it come to fruition?

🌿 "A city in decay offers the naturalist unlimi 🌿 "A city in decay offers the naturalist unlimited opportunities, while a city on the rise takes them away. I have seen several of these spots developed into proper park spaces, opening them up to the general public in a way I can’t argue with, even if it takes away what felt like private spots. Solitude is an unjustifiable luxury in the urban outdoors, even if I still pursue it." 🌿 Click our link in bio to read @phillybillynature reflect on how the urban wilderness has changed and how he’s changed as well in our featured piece. #ENVIRONMENT #URBANNATURE #URBANNATURALIST #URBANOUTDOORS #URBANWILDERNESS

🏢💚 When Scott Kelly and Jennifer Rezeli laun 🏢💚 When Scott Kelly and Jennifer Rezeli launched their Manayunk-based design firm @revisionarch in 2003 they were pioneers in green building design. The world has changed since then. 💚🏢 Previously Kelly felt he had to be “stealthy” about including sustainable elements in his architectural designs. These days he revels in the freedom to go deeper, exploring with clients how buildings can actively promote healthy environments, happier communities, social equity and accessible beauty.
