SUMMARY:Death & Life at Mt. Moriah Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Mount Moriah is the largest cemetery in Pennsylvania\, and home to some of our city’s finest grave architecture.\n\n\nMount Moriah is the largest cemetery in Pennsylvania\, and home to some of our city’s finest grave architecture. Trees and vines have engulfed the gravestones in some areas\, giving the place the atmosphere of a lost city in the jungle. Almost every style of tomb can be found here\, from Egyptian Revival to Art Nouveau. Guests will learn about the role of cemeteries as a place for leisure in the Victorian era\, as well as the influence of the Freemasons. Part wilderness and part sculpture-garden\, this city of the dead is by turns eerie and poignant. Join Hidden City as we peel back the canopy and reveal the wonders below. \n \nIMPORTANT DETAILS \nWe’ll meet at the main gate\, where Kingsessing dead-ends at 62nd Street.***If you’re using Google Maps type in 6191 Kingsessing Avenue*** \nThis tour requires significant walking\, so practical shoes and water are a must. There are plenty of ticks\, especially as the weather warms\, so we recommend long pants\, socks\, and most of all a careful check of oneself after the tour is over. \nTour guide John Vidumsky has been exploring abandoned spaces for as long as he can remember. He has an MA in history from Temple University\, where he studied 20th-century Russian history. John was Hidden City’s first intern! \nHidden City Members\, remember to use your promo codes for discounts! \nQuestions\, concerns\, conundrums? Contact Hidden City project coordinator Alyssa Shea at ashea@hiddencityphila.org.

SUMMARY:Adopt-a-Tree Tree Planting Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us with your family to adopt and plant trees at Riverbend. \nFall is a wonderful time to plant trees just before it turns colder in the winter months. Planting trees at the preserve helps to provide habitat to local wildlife\, combat climate change and helps to maintain our local water supply as the trees we plant keep runoff from heading to the Schuylkill River watershed. \nRegistration is required as spaces are limited. This event is open to all ages. Please bring your own water and work gloves to the event. \nThis is a Riverbend PAY WHAT YOU WISH Event: \nThe true cost to Riverbend to offer this educational event to the public is $35 per family. We recognize that for some families\, this is unaffordable. Therefore\, we invite you to choose the price you wish to pay for this event. In doing so\, you help make environmental education accessible to ALL children\, regardless of their family’s financial situation.

Bring your camera! \nStart: Porch at 30th St Station. Please arrive 10 minutes early to check-in. \nFinish: Chestnut Hill West Station \nDistance: 13-26mi – the 1/2 marathon route is different than the 26 miles.The group starts together and then spits up.  \nWhere to find us: Outside south side of station \nOptional endpoints:– East Falls Station\, Highland Station and numerous other mass transit options \nTerrain: paved\, gravel\, grass \nTransit: Amtrak\, Megabus\, NJTransit AC and NJTransit/Septa connections to 30th Street Station \nReturn: SEPTA train \nParking: Many nearby garages and lots. Try 3101 Market St or Cira South Garage \nDifficulty: Average / Advanced \nCategory: nature\, history\, urban\, scenic \nCoordinator: Charles Updike\, 916-225-0569 \n \nAn Autumn Walk in the Park\n26.2 miles (or 13.1 miles) from 30th St Station to Chestnut Hill through Fairmount Park and the Wissahickon Valley.\nWalk the entire breadth of the city through the largest landscaped city park in the world\, Fairmount Park\, with the autumn colors at their peak along the Schuylkill River Trail and Forbidden Drive along the Wissahickon Creek. \nIn the early 19th century\, the Wissahickon was a hub for small industry\, due to its steady water flow for powering mills. When industry moved downtown\, the area was preserved to protect the water supply for the region\, producing an environment that became world renowned for its beauty and inspired the works of Walt Whitman\, John Greenleaf Whittier\, Edgar Allen Poe\, Christopher Morley\, and Currier and Ives. Forbidden Drive is so named for its prohibition of all motor vehicles. The Wissahickon Valley has a stillness untouched by time\, strange for one of the world’s larger cities\, and is surely Philadelphia’s best kept secret\, offering as appealing a walking route as is available for a hundred miles around. \n“The Wissahickon is of so remarkable a loveliness that\, were it flowing in England\, it would be the theme of every bard.” — Poe \n \n“Some of my happiest hours have been spent there\, some of my freest hours.” — Whitman \nOur journey begins at 30th Street Station\, with convenient connections to Septa\, NJ Transit\, Amtrak and Megabus. The walk ends in the tony main-street neighborhood of Chestnut Hill\, where we shall meet for eats and libations\, with two train stations available to carry us back to 30th Street. Easy gravel and paved terrain\, with very few road crossings after one leaves Center City. Two snack bars with nearby bathrooms assist along the way. \n \nThe half-marathon route is a shortest-distance trek along the Schuylkill and Wissahickon. The full route provides a broad and meandering treatment of all of the many highlights of sprawling Fairmount Park\, along with visits to the places of debate and worship of our founding fathers\, the site of the 1876 Centennial Exposition\, the world’s tallest masonry building\, dozens of works of public art\, and the nation’s most pioneering and pedestrian-friendly cemetery\, replete with graves of countless war heroes\, inventors\, tycoons and even local icons like Harry Kalas and Rocky’s Adrian Balboa. \nVisit FreeWalkers.org for more walks like this!\n \nMap of walking route\nMARATHON WALK Highlights\n\nUniversity of Pennsylvania\nSchuylkill Banks Boardwalk\nRittenhouse Square\nWashington Square\nIndependence Hall\nCarpenters Hall\nSpruce Street Harbor Park\nPenns Landing\nChrist Church\nCity Hall\nLogan Circle\nBen Franklin Parkway\nArt Museum steps\nFairmount Waterworks\nBoathouse Row\nKelly Drive\nMemorial Hall\nJapanese House and Garden\nBelmont Plateau\nStrawberry Mansion Bridge\nLaurel Hill Cemetery\nFalls Bridge\nWissahickon Creek\nBattle of Germantown\nForbidden Drive\nValley Green Inn\nMagarge Dam\nCovered bridge\nChestnut Hill\n\nHALF-MARATHON Highlights\n\nFairmount Waterworks\nBoathouse Row\nKelly Drive\nFalls Bridge\nWissahickon Creek\nBattle of Germantown\nForbidden Drive\nValley Green Inn\nMagarge Dam\nCovered bridge\nChestnut Hill\n\nVisit freewalkers.org for ongoing event info: http://freewalkers.org/events \n \nPartners:The East Coast Greenway Alliance is a non-profit organization developing a public multi-use 3\,000 mile trail from Canada to Key West through New Jersey and New York.

SUMMARY:November Featured Collections Opening Reception at Paradigm Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for First Friday to celebrate new releases from over 8 artists  and view/collect on all gallery floors.\n\n\nParadigm Gallery + Studio is pleased to present three distinct collections championing craft and reinvention for CraftNOW 2024. Artists Ulla-Stina Wikander\, Yoonmi Nam\, and Andrew Jeffrey Wright have spent many years honing in on their respective crafts that incorporate the use and repetition of found materials. In a time where new objects are constantly produced with diminishing relevance and single-use purpose\, we uplift unique methods of upcycling in art that recontextualizes material to expand on larger ideas of craftsmanship\, methods of production\, and the functionality of objects. Each artist creates artwork through layering of old and new construction\, bringing new life to past pieces and not letting matter go to waste. Featured Collections: Ulla-Stina Wikander\, Yoonmi Nam\, & Andrew Jeffrey Wright will be on view on the first floor of the Paradigm Arts Building (12 N 3rd St) from November through December 1\, 2024\, with a public opening reception on Friday\, November 1 from 6:00-8:00 pm. \nPlease join us for the first in-person look at our newest collections: \nUlla-Stina Wikander: Communication \nYoonmi Nam: Generally Meant to Be Discarded \nAndrew Jeffrey Wright: Super Rare series \nRead the press release here: \nhttps://www.paradigmarts.org/blogs/news/featured-collections-ulla-stina-wikander-yoonmi-nam-and-andrew-jeffrey-wright \nAlso on display for First Friday: \nShawn Theodore: A Race of Angels \nRead the press release here: \nhttps://www.paradigmarts.org/blogs/news/shawn-theodore-a-race-of-angels \nKyle Montgomery: Crystal Mary series \nNazeer Sabree: TRF-98 series \nAndré Schulze: Pixelated Paintings \n+ \na variety of curated books and limited edition prints ready to be taken home and gifted for the holiday season. \n \nAll artwork will be available for purchase.
