I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

All New Oval Debuts July 20
Philadelphia, PA

SUMMER AT THE OVAL+ TO RE-ENVISION USES FOR
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PARKWAY
Large-Scale Installations by PORT Urbanism Complement Ever-Popular Entertainment, Recreation, Food, & Beer Garden

Philadelphia, PA – Fairmount Park Conservancy and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation will host the fifth summer of The Oval with expanded programming this year called The Oval+ (Plus) presented by PNC. The Oval+ features an expanded footprint and unique installations in addition to the ever-popular movie and music nights, food trucks, beer garden, and family-friendly activities. The partners have engaged a cutting-edge design firm, PORT Urbanism of Philadelphia and Chicago, to develop an installation that will inspire people to envision future, potential uses for the Benjamin Franklin Parkway beyond Eakins Oval.

Taking the theme of “What’s your Parkway, Philly?” this year’s Oval+ creates focal points on the Parkway from the Philadelphia Museum of Art to Logan Circle – for connecting with nature; enjoying art, culture, and play; or gathering for public dialogue about the future of the Parkway. Three immersive open-air “rooms” explore these current and future aspects of the Parkway and its open spaces. One “room” invites visitors to explore the lost and hidden Fairmount Park. Another celebrates the familiar and not-so-familiar aspects of Philadelphia culture and recreation. And the third space, centered on a giant ground mural of the city, invites locals and visitors to literally draw onto the city what they imagine their Parkway to be. The new ground mural, designed by PORT Urbanism and painted by Mural Arts Philadelphia, will complement the installations at the Oval.

At night, the installations – some extending to 24 feet in height – will be illuminated from within, creating a glowing effect. Other elements include a dynamic maze which will wind through the trees and a stage to accommodate a changing schedule of public events large and small. Also, to continue the theme, nearby Aviator Park and the newly renovated Shakespeare Park further down the Parkway will be the site of additional Oval+ installations and activities from collaborating organizations like the Franklin Institute and Free Library of Philadelphia.

The Oval+ runs from July 20-August 20, Wednesdays through Sundays. Highlights include:
·       The Oval Beer Garden serving hot food, craft brews, wine, and cocktails
·       Wellness Wednesdays with power yoga classes by Yoga Habit and kickboxing from CKO
·       Arts & Culture Thursdays featuring hip-hop classes and DJ dance parties
·       Food & Flicks Fridays showing free popular movies at dusk
·       Game Day Saturdays presenting Quizzo and music jam sessions in the Beer garden
·       Family Fun Sundays with Let’s Rock Recess, a kids’ DJ dance party in the Beer Garden
·       Games like mini-golf, cornhole, ping-pong, and giant chess and checkers

Secrets and Seawalls is an evening of dance in two distinct acts. Inspired by storms and disruption, Melissa Riker, in collaboration with architect Lee H. Skolnick, FAIA, uses methods of dance and architecture to explore vulnerability, power, and how each are revealed. Dancers whisper across an expanse; stealing and sharing secrets in a shifting, immersive environment. The piece is spurred by questions: Does power exist in the structures we create? In the way we withhold information? Or, is it in the vulnerability revealed before the storm? The work premiered along the beach at Fort Tilden in Gateway National Park, The Rockaways in 2015.

Producer Eric Krebs announces the latest in performance science - That Chemistry Show. Written and performed by Borislaw BilashThat Chemistry Show will begin performances on July 22.

A candle that moves water, a paper cup that won't burn, a firefly without fire. An atomic flash, weaponized sugar, a hydrogen bomb. Genie in a bottle, secret writing, elephant toothpaste...Yes!

We invited Borislaw to show us the best “wow” demonstrations that he had – and WOW! -  we were mightily entertained. If one science show is good, two would be even better. So, That Chemistry Show was born.”
