#Manayunk #Philadelphia #GroundhogDay forecast for 2026:

Two local forecasters (plush groundhogs, center front and right) and the European model (plush badger) all agree this #Imbolc : sharp-edged shadows and more sharp cold winter yet to come!

The little park on the #Philly end of the #Manayunk bridge attracts donations from friends and neighbors: wooden picnic tables, plastic chairs, sturdy kids' toys. Things that can withstand getting left outside.

But a #BabyGrand #piano got left there about 2 weeks ago. And even with a tarp to cover it, it's going to get ravaged by weather soon. Local report is that it got dropped off by someone who had to move on short notice and couldn't find a home for it. In the days of electronic keyboards, real pianos are a glut on the market.

But it breaks my heart to see it outside as the winter comes.

Spread the word: if you want a baby grand and have a way to haul it, it's waiting for a home. (Or a church, or a school....)

RoxyYunk PorchFest is great this year, but a lot is getting rained out. The rain got pretty aggressive, especially for folks playing with amps.

The Philadelphia Cycling Classic will return next summer after a 10-year hiatus

The race ran every summer after launching in 1985 but has not been held since 2016 due to a lack of sponsorship. It will officially return on Aug. 30, 2026 with a men’s and women’s race.

I had noticed that a church had taken over a flood-prone building in the #Manayunk neighborhood in Philadelphia and was doing extensive renovations. I hadn't noticed that they put all of their active spaces on the upper floor of the building, leaving the ground floor to flood.

A good article on how to keep historic water-front buildings in use as the water gets higher (and how thoughtless development nearby can be making things worse) :

Manayunk church prepares for floods by turning a Main Street mill into a modern Noah’s Ark

The project offers a solution for preserving vulnerable historic buildings in a time of rapid climate change. But it might not work forever.

The Philadelphia Inquirer
#Manayunk is a trendy neighborhood located in Northwest #I Philadelphia next to the scenic #SchuylkillRiver. It has many bars, cafés, and unique restaurants in addition to hosting the annual #ManayunkArtsFestival. I believe the name was derived from Lenin-Lenape Tribe of Native Americans (also called The Delaware Indians), who were the original inhabitants of the Philadelphia area which was called Shackamaxon when #WilliamPenn arrived in the 1600’s. #DogLovers
