Old City Murals, Galleries, and History, Part 3

I'm delighted to announce that the Cara/Karen duo will reunite early next month to explore the country's most historical neighborhood on several levels--some of them air-conditioned. :)

(If you'd like to learn more about Philly History Pop Ups and/or be on the mailing list, here's the link: https://linktr.ee/phillycara.)

Specific itinerary to come, but here's what's on the agenda so far:

--the murals No Slavery. No Exceptions, We (which "we" didn't get to last time), and Acknowledgement/Apprised, both of which are in the Independence Visitors Center. We can also see the latest version of Sophie Roach's mural in progress and try to figure out what's going on outside the former Mechanics National Bank, now known as the bar and restaurant National Mechanics. (I've never actually been inside, though I did sit at one of the outdoor tables in Covid times. Maybe this would be a good choice for food and drink after all the art and history?)

--"Philadelphia, The Revolutionary City" at the American Philosophical Museum

--surprising information about the Independence Mall and National Park

--anything exciting in galleries that I've found during First Friday the night before (I'll post it right after I get home) :)
