This is a fucking disgrace... The banks of the #SchuylkillRiver , at least from #Royersford to #Phoenixville , are like 99% invasive plants. I've walked bith sides of it pretty extensively for years. It's almost nothing but Amur Honeysuckle and Lesser Celandine. Why have we allowed this to happen and to continue? I see it every spring, but I don't know what to do about it. The scale of the problem is just overwhelming...

This Philadelphia restaurant is located in the trendy Fairmount neighborhood, Slightly North of Center City downtown . Renowned #AmericanArtist #ThomasEakins lived in this area, and he was famous for painting boaters along Philadelphia's #SchuylkillRiver in the 1800s. That is the same river where #BenFranklin was flying a kite with a key on it and learned about electricity during lightning. It is also behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art, famous from the movie #Rocky! https://6abc.com/post/dish-baja-fried-shrimp-tacos-recipe-buena-onda-fairmount-philadelphia/17972280/

#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
