Appreciating Philly one love note at a time
Oh Philadelphia, we love you.
We love the industrial smells of Bridesburg from I-95 on a breezy summer night, the treehouse pavilion in Fairmount Park, eating steaks at Shanks. We love you so much that there’s now a blog devoted to sharing what we love about you.
Since May Philly Love Notes has been building an inventory of the pleasures of living in Philly as told by us. Emma Fried-Cassorla, a scientist (neuro and environmental) who grew up in Cheltenham, started the love notes project as a way to remind herself (and the rest of us) that Philly is loved.
