Just A Shot Away
We happily and luckily received vaccine 2.0 on Wednesday.
How appropriate, "having a shot" on St. Patrick's Day.
We then celebrated with a cold one, giving new meaning to the phrase "a shot and a beer."
Like we say in the old country: L’Chaim!

ICYMI: We're Vaccinating; Now What? |
Now that the vaccine is rolling out, what do we do next? Can we visit our loved ones? Can we return to the gym? Can we go shopping? What can we do? Dr. Sandra Brooks from Thomas Jefferson Hospitals and Dr. Jay Kostman from Philadelphia FIGHT joined us to answer all of our questions. We received much-needed answers to help us understand what we can do once we're vaccinated. |

Pandemic Silver Lining: Drive-Ins are Back! |
Social distancing notwithstanding, many folks are not comfortable at an indoor movie theater. But an outdoor movie theater?
That was the thinking of the Philadelphia Film Society, hence the PFS Drive-in at the Navy Yard, which can accommodate up to 180 cars to enjoy films on the venue’s two screens which are fastened to stacked shipping containers.

Not Perennial: All-Different, Much Bigger Phila Flower Show for 2021 |
Under normal circumstances, the Flower Show is held in early March indoors at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Not. This. Year. In 2021, the largest, longest-running horticulture event will not be indoors but outdoors, at FDR Park, and not in the beginning of March but in June, June 5 through 13, specifically.
If nothing else, it will be bigger. How much? 15 acres, which is a 45% increase in size over the norm.
