Lapsed historian, Philadelphia, too many rescue pets, sports
Bonus: a lot of them have a women's team in conjunction!! Just had my son in Pittsburgh on a quick college tour and students get major ticket discounts around town and he didn't recognize the soccer club logos. Told him their stadium was super cool and has a train that runs along the touch line
Visited the other half of PA with my son yesterday, took in Pirates/Cubs at PNC Park! Cool things: - they shut down Clemente bridge and street next to stadium for pedestrians - bins of jalapeños in the hotdog fixins bar, great on nachos! - fatheads hazy IPA on tap -fun game til 10th
FYI Philadelphians: the Calder Gardens and Museum are Free in July (!) to Philadelphia residents. My family went yesterday, and it's a stunning little jewel-box of a museum on the Parkway. caldergardens.org
Fingers crossed this is a quick fix and you feel better, soon! Here's Sassy in a box
Ok, 1) we have a dog named Pepper that looks like Jyn (who also snores); 2) we have a cat named Jyn!!
Happy Valentine's Day! Here's my favorite Life in Hell comic ❤️ (this is framed in our house)
Oh man, too many of these stories anymore, Im so sorry for your loss. What I believe is a downy woodpecker in my yard (since then, spotted once more; and a few weeks ago, with a male!)
Most Famous alum from my HS! Amazing that Philly is mentioned, who would've predicted (younger than me, crossed paths with my younger brother though)
I'm currently out West with my daughter, but my husband sent me this yesterday. For those unfamiliar with this look, he knows his tennis ball is in that patch of snow, somewhere.
If you havent read it yet, Erica Dunbar (used to be local? Maybe still?)'s book about Ona Judge is remarkable. Also a great example of the *promise and hope* contained in the Declaration of Independence and ensuing Constitution for all, regardless of time/status!
The Salt River. When I was there, it was a dry bed that only filled rarely during a bad storm. Now it's filled permanently and is a destination "lake."

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and a pic of the band. Mesa Amphitheatre; Adam Ant (the opener was a new band with only one popular song: INXS 😂)
I chose this as my favorite team based solely on team name/logo, look at my xmas present (my god, that jacket, will need a moment to choose myself)
