Happy Friday and cheers to the weekend. With that being said, this has been the longest shortest week. From the 4th of July festivities as well as the trauma that occured and taking some down time. I got back into a small swing of events so what do you need to know for the weekend and what went down that we missed this week?
Into the Woods Friday Theater Announcement
This is the last weekend to see Into the Woods. I got the opportunity to see it this week with my oldest and she loved it. From all of the singing which was phenomenal to the acting it’s a must see. Taking an enchanted walk into the woods to get the things that we think we need is a large part of the story. Also how you treat and talk to others around you can really pave the way that people interact etc. The blog is up with a full review as well as ticket information. The last day is Sunday July 10th.
Without A Cue-Walking Mystery Tour
This week I also attended the walking mystery tour given by Without a Cue. It was a great way to see Center City while solving a whodunit type of vibe. Follow the clues, pay attention, and become a Sleuth and win a prize. The theme is Murder in the Jazz Age. The tour is Friday and Saturday evenings from now until September 24th. You get to take a walk in Independence National Historical Park. Parking is near by and is $7 after 5pm. The tour itself is $25 per person. The tour is an hour long and it is advised for you to wear comfortable shoes.
Poor James Cosgrove…he’s had a rough night. After being booted out of Atlantic City and losing his job as a pianist at his club, he headed back home to Philadelphia…only to encounter trouble everywhere he went. And now it seems that he has been the victim of a murder – and it is up to you to catch his killer!

We took a few days break so here are the blogs that you may have missed for the week.
Conversations with Toi Friday Podcast Drop
We talk about what went down on 4th of July as the violence ensued while leaving the Welcome America Party on the Parkway. It was a lot. Do you have a buddy that doesn’t like to go home? I am talking about anxiety, depression, and other mental wellness topics that so many like myself deal with. Is self care enough? We talk about this and much more this episode. Thank you for your continued support. Remember to share, listen, and review.
