Rock to the Future Debuts Holiday Concert in Fishtown

150069_119482501447207_100001563735981_142528_1591447_nGetting your homework done is a little easier with the incentive of rocking out on a guitar after.

Earlier this year we mentioned Rock to the Future, an afterschool program that one of our clients, Jessica McKay, began to provide students the opportunity to learn a musical instrument while getting homework assistance. Now we’re happy to report that the homework is getting done and the rocking out is not far behind.

Students from Rock to the Future will play their first annual holiday concert on December 18, 2010 at the Atonement Lutheran Church, 1542 East Montgomery Ave., Philadelphia, Pa., at 6:00 p.m. for the community. A $5.00 donation is suggested and refreshments will be served.

“We invite the community to come out and support our students for their first concert,” said McKay. “We’re looking forward to a great evening for the whole family. The students will play a variety of holiday songs, covers from the Beatles and some original music.”

Founded in 2010, Rock to the Future, is the only program of its kind in the city, which combines an afterschool music education and youth development program, at no cost to students. It is open to Philadelphia students between the ages 9-14. The program focuses on incorporating music education with academics to create success in school and in life by improving cognitive thinking, learning capacity, socialization skills, self-esteem and creative thinking. Students learn to play an instrument – their choice of guitar, bass guitar, drums, vocals or keyboards – and also receive homework help. Students attend the program every day after school at the Atonement Lutheran Church in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia. During the course of the year, the students will work together to write new, original music and attend free educational and musical seminars and workshops. All donations support Rock to the Future.

For more information, contact McKay at 610.416.6742  jessica@phillyrock.org.

Everybody Loves Swag…in Northern Liberties

img_1472-1024x768

We immediately fell in love upon entering Swag, a gift shop next to Cantina Dos Segundos in Northern Liberties. The shop began selling gifts, showcasing locally made items, and featuring Philadelphia artists on Black Friday and was full of curious passersby this weekend. Blue walls set the backdrop for the colorful, fun-ctional wares, with collapsible colanders and ramen bowls for the kitchen guru on your holiday gift list, to eco-friendly totes, gift bags, and sweet treat extras for the last-minute birthday gift or a thoughtful just-because.

Swag has a section for Philly-made crafts, and the back wall of the store is currently showing off artwork from two talented Philadelphia art students, ages 12 and 14.

The unique items and appealing layout of the store make Swag a vibrant addition to 2nd Street – and we can certainly see a Swag bag or two in our future.

Winter Designer’s Tip: Ruffle Those Feathers!

small-feather-treesWhat are the design experts over at Busybee Homestore & Design Center feeling this winter? Feathers, Feathers, and more Feathers.

When they showed us what they had in mind for holiday decor this December, we had to agree: ‘Tis the season for ruffling some feathers with fun embellishment and texture instead of the usual ho-hum decorations.

Dreamy, feathery ornaments will add both whimsy and natural elegance to your holiday. The neutral colors will work with almost any room and are a refreshing change from all of the bright reds/greens and flashy silvers/golds that many of us turn to.

 

 

feather-balls

At Busybee Homestore and Design Center, you can find Glass Feather ornaments (small – $7 extra large $22) and Feather Balls ($8) for your tree and mantle, Ostrich Feather Plumes ($9), and a Feather Headdress from Cameroon ($550). Feather Trees from Roost are a beautiful tree alternative (Busybee stocks both Roost Trees and Tabletop White Feather Trees, small-medium-large $13-$30). The feather trees are collapsible and store easily in your closet. Visit the shop at 734 South Street for your holiday decor needs before you start trimming that tree!

Natural Cure for the Common Cold: Straight from the Wellness Expert in Northern Liberties

Sick manWe asked Karen Rossignol of Urban Roots Wellness Center (our featured neighbor this month!) for a Wellness Tip.”This recipe is for anyone who feels that they may be getting a cold and a must for anyone who is feeling it go into their chest, ” Rossignol promises.

Got that achy, run down feeling, congested, coughing, or feeling like pretty soon you will be? Here is a recipe that is not only tasty but will kick that bug right out of the ballpark. With immune boosting ingredients that you can find at the local store…

Rossignol’s Cold Cure:

1 to 3 large garlic cloves

Piece of ginger root, skinned and grated – 1/2 thumb size

Juice of 1/2 lemon or more to taste

Some cayenne

Tomato juice or V-8

Blend together. Take three times a day for one or two days. It will loosen the mucus and bring it up and out of your body.

Find these health incensing ingredients at some of our favorite local stores such as the Palm Tree Market, The Almanac, the Pink Dolphin Market, and Penn Herb.

Hyperion Bank Holiday Food Drive Helps Raise Money for Local Families

26th-thanaksgiving-check-005-1024x768

Hyperion Bank in Northern Liberties, along with several local businesses in the community, helped support the 26th Police District in their Holiday Food Drive this year. They raised $880.00 that will go towards feeding families and senior citizens in need of a Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

We’d like to thank Hyperion and all of the generous contributors involved in these efforts, including the Kensington South Neighborhood Advisory Council (KSNAC), Girard Business and Arts Assocation (GBAA) and the Northern Liberties Business Owners Association (NLBOA). Hyperion matched their own employees’ contributions dollar for dollar. They also collected non-perishable food items.

Thank you and we wish everyone a wonderful holiday!

The Health System is Going to the Dogs!

ar125457299758313….and cats and birds and reptiles in Northern Liberties and we are thrilled about it!

What does Northern Liberties need next? How about an animal hospital?

With all of the dogs, cats, and other well-loved pets keeping us company in our animal-friendly neighborhood, the Northern Liberties Animal Hospital will be a much welcomed addition to the community. Whenever our furry friends get sick or are in need of care, it’ll be nice to have a local place to take them.

The 10,000 square foot veterinary hospital will be completed in Fall of 2011, located across from the Piazza at 966 N. 2nd Street. It will service dogs, cats and exotic pets such as birds, reptiles and small mammals.

You can find more information on the Northern Liberties Animal Hospital Facebook.
