Pedro Ospina, the creator and founder of the Open Kitchen Scupture Garden is amazing. Pedro is an artist and community activist who has created a magical space where community members meet regularly for exhibitions, performances and holidays from spring to fall. Weekly potluck dinners are organized from spring to fall. Each time I visit, Pedro has installed another whimisical sculpture, a couple of raised beds for vegetables and herbs. This urban oasis is friendly to all people and leashed pets.

I recently attended a friend’s wedding at Tendenza in the Northern Liberties area of Philadelphia. It is a beautiful venue , the staff were attentive, kind and helpful. I am not a “foodie “ but I was very impressed with the food served during the cocktail hour and found that I had not much of an appetite for the sit down dinner. There were three entrees offered and other guests were very happy with their choice. The cocktails were flowing and the dancing was so much fun.
