City Cast Philly
🍂 When will Philly’s autumn colors start showing?
September 17, 2024 · — Asha Prihar
I’m soooooo excited for the leaves to start changing color! We’ve probably still got a good bit of time to wait before that happens in our neck of the woods, but other parts of PA may be ready for leaf peeping a little sooner. I’ve got more on how to time things below.
But first … I would love to hear your recommendations for where to enjoy the fall foliage, both within Philly and outside of it. Share your favorite leaf peeping spots here! 🧡
What's CITY Talking About?
🍸 PA Updates Its Liquor Laws
Now that some new laws have gone into effect, you no longer have to head to a state-run store to buy canned cocktails, and restaurants and bars can make their happy hours longer. My team and I chat about this on today’s episode of the City Cast Philly podcast 🎧
- Also in this episode: A proposed “neighborhood wellness court” for Kensington, a Philly-inspired McDonald’s UK concoction, green infrastructure coming to schools, and more.
