‘Part-City, Part Suburb’ – St.Joe’s Promo Video Nails It.

by Gerry August 29, 2021

burgeoning St. Josephs’s University, whose campus straddles City Avenue, offers a compelling pitch to prospective students.

When the St. Joe’s community was surveyed online about what they loved about their school here some of the predictable answers they got.

  • “Philly spirit! Big family energy!”
  • “History and culture. Good food. In the middle of everything.”

What Does My Fountain Pen Have In Common With The Former Lord & Taylor In Bala Cynwyd?

Both come out of the work of Raymond Loewy and his design firm. Raymond Loewy (1893–1986) helped define what modern America looked like in the mid-20th century. Through his design firm, he worked across an unusually wide range of industries—transportation, consumer products, branding, and architecture—often simultaneously. No one in history is more closely associated with […]

January 16-18: The Philly Pen Show — A Delightfully Analog Experience

f you’re looking for a break from screens, alerts, and endless scrolling, the Philly Pen Show might be the cure—at least temporarily. It’s an unapologetically analog event: pens, paper, ink, and the people who still care deeply about them. Whether you’re a serious collector, someone who misses the feel of writing by hand, or just […]
