The Wissahickon Valley Historical Society is dedicated to preserving and maintaining the unique history of the Wissahickon Valley and its surrounding region. Focusing on local historical buildings and artifacts—from the 1895 Whitpain Public School in which it’s housed to screenings of antique, locally shot films—the society has been serving the area since 1975. With various exhibits on display and plenty of resources for research or curious perusal, there’s no question too small or large that the Society’s dedicated members will not be happy to help answer. There are also tours, collector shows, lectures, holiday parties, and a monthly newsletter.

North Bowl: A Strikingly Different Twist on Bowling

Filed under Things to Do
If bowling alleys make you think of sallow plastic seating and greasy old men, head over to North Bowl, a “strikingly different” twist on the traditional facility. Billing itself as a combination of lounge and lanes, the 21,000-square-foot converted mechanics garage boasts nightlife highlights and entertainment options in a lush, welcoming setting. From retro décor (think, benches from ‘50s-era bowling alleys) to arcade games and an overlooking lounge that peeks out onto the lanes, North Bowl combines sophistication with atmospheric fun. Menu items feature familiar fried favorites (eggplant parmesan bites, six varieties of tater-tots, cheesesteak skins), lighter options (blackened tofu sandwich, tomato soup), and all-American classics like corn dogs, sliders, and mac ’n’ cheese, while any drink of your choice is available at the sculptural, fully stocked bar. Come by with friends or a date for a classy take on a classic experience.

Catch the Top Music Acts in Philly at The Electric Factory
June 1, 2011 by admin
Filed under Things to Do
The Electric Factory is one of America’s most well regarded indoor music venues and a center for Philadelphia’s own music scene. Opened in 1968, the venue moved from its original converted tire warehouse to a more appropriate converted electric factory in the mid-90s, where it remains a beacon for lovers of widespread musical genres. With a standing capacity of nearly 3,000 people (including a second-floor area overlooking the stage), this is one venue where you’ll want to be on your feet—whether that means dancing, head-banging, or scuffing along to the beat. The space is available for private functions and corporate events, but mostly it’s just a great place to go catch a live performance by local, national, or global acts.
