Over on the 1300 block of Church Street we had to stop and get a picture of this beautiful garden spot. The owner told us we had missed the butterfly and hummingbird season but this home is truly an oasis on this September afternoon.

Tonight at Mozaic
The Vince Lardear Trio will be performing tonight at mozaic from 7PM til 11PM.
Vince, a native of Wilmington, Delaware is a former member of The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra under the direction of Buddy Morrow. He played lead alto saxophone with The Illinois Jaquet Big Band until the legendary saxophonist’s death in July, 2004. Highlights include the release of a CD featuring many of Vince’s compositions performed along with the Marty Nau Quartet and perennial jazz poll winner Phil Woods. Just close your eyes and it’s as if you’re listening to Charlie Parker.
mozaic is pleased to announce that Butch Ballad has agreed to a ten year gig.
A joyful shout-out to all of the friends of mozaic, PhillyBlog friends, musicians, staff, and family for making the 1st. Anniversary of mozaic such an enormous success. At the risk of repeating myself, without all of the support, encouragement, and generosity you all have been so kind to offer, these good-times wouldn’t be happening. It is my privlege to know and love you all. Thanks for letting an old girl realize a dream. Few people get to experience this. I am indeed blessed. Thank you all.
Peace,
Joan Oliveto

What are Frankford’s boundaries?
That is a good question that I raised a while ago. For the lack of a better authority, I have decided to go along with the Cartographic Laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania who has created a very nifty web presence for neighborhoods called the Neighborhood Information System (NIS).
Contained in the NIS is a piece called the neighborhoodBase. Browse around there and have a look at what is available if you have not been there before. In their quest to provide useful information they have taken up the task of deciding where each neighborhood begins and ends. I don’t entirely agree with how they have arrived at Frankford but it is close enough for my purposes.
This is a link to the interactive map of Philadelphia that will let you display a map of each neighborhood in the city defined by Penn. Take a look and see if you agree with them.
Art Holiday Poll
It’s time to take down the Art Holiday poll so I wanted to recap the results. Will you miss the Art Holiday? 6 people said yes and 17 said no. I heard an interesting rumor circulating down at that end of the town that the Art Holiday is going to become a condominium community. Doesn’t seem likely but then we will see.
