The Philadelphia School District's crisis, income inequality and the city's growth are just a few of major items on the to­do list for the first term of the next mayor. But there are also many smaller changes that can improve Philadelphia. Maybe you've always thought that 30th Street Station should connect underground to the Market­Frankford Line. Or maybe you wish there was a Philly Bike Week. Or maybe your neighborhood school really needs a nurse. We're asking all Philadelphians to share the small problems they'd like to see the next mayor tackle. Tell us what you want the next mayor to solve by using the hashtag #NextMayorPHL on Instagram or Twitter (make sure your post is public so that we can see it!) and we'll feature the best responses on Philly.com.

High School Students Complete Summer Internships Through WorkReady Program Kristen Johanson 8/14/2015 As school is about to start, summer jobs and internships are winding down. High school students from Philadelphia finished their WorkReady programs. An end of season party was held at the National Constitution Center on Friday. The WorkReady internship program allows city teens to gain real­life work experience as interns. Seventeen­year­old Alyssa says the experience was invaluable. “It was pressure, but it wasn’t too much pressure, I learned a lot of patience,” said Alyssa. Teens came out to celebrate the end of the season, a party hosted by the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance. Fifteen­year­old Bierce worked in the Mural Arts Program and says what he learned was beyond using a paint ​ brush. “Being able to work with just about anybody, there’s a whole lot of people with varying kinds personalities, interests. It’s easy to learn a lot from different people and learn new things,” said Bierce.

  • Ben Franklin Parkway and Independence Mall Patch Programs
    Ben Franklin Parkway and Independence Mall Patch Programs 1 Independence Mall Patch Program Introduction – Philadelphia’s History William Penn, a wealthy Quaker from London earned most of his income from land he owned in England and Ireland. He rented the land for use as farmland even though he could have made much more money renting it for commercial purposes. He considered the rent he collected from the farms to be less corrupt than commercial wealth. He wanted to build such a city made up of farmland in Pennsylvania. As soon as William Penn received charter for Pennsylvania, Penn began to work on his dream by advertising that he would establish, “ A large Towne or City” on the Delaware River. Remembering the bubonic plague in London (1665) and the disastrous fire of 1666, Penn wanted, “ A Greene county Towne, which would never be burnt, and always be wholesome.” In 1681, William Penn announced he would layout a “Large Towne or City in the most convenient place upon the river for health and navigation.” Penn set aside 10,000 acres of land for the Greene townie on the Delaware and he stretched the town to reach the Schuylkill so that the city would face both rivers. He acquired one mile of river frontage on the Schuylkill parallel to those on the Delaware. Thus Philadelphia became a rectangle 1200 acres, stretching 2 miles in the length from east to west between the 3 rivers and 1 mile in the width North and South. William Penn hoped to create a peaceful city. When he arrived in 1682, he made a Great Treaty of Friendship with the Lenni Lenape Indians on the Delaware.

  • The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia
    University of Pennsylvania ScholarlyCommons Anthropology Senior Theses Department of Anthropology Spring 2013 The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia Laurel Caffee Follow this and additional works at: https://repository.upenn.edu/anthro_seniortheses Part of the Anthropology Commons Recommended Citation Caffee, Laurel, "The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia" (2013). Anthropology Senior Theses. Paper 150. This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/anthro_seniortheses/150 For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia Abstract The Barnes Foundation presents an example of a Museum art collection that—with its move from its original Lower Merion location to Center City Philadelphia on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway—has finally achieved its (stated) goal of becoming a more accessible and open institution. However, the relocation of a museum to a more accessible location does not create instant open/public accessibility. This is an examination of the history of the Barnes Foundation, its inception, along with Philadelphia’s yearning form an additional upscale elite clientele. My goal is to evaluate the new Barnes vis-à-vis its original mission as it settles into its new facility. I examine various critical periods in the history of the Barnes including its function and mission before and immediately after the death of Dr. Albert Barnes, the fiscally embattled period following the death of Dr. Barnes successors, and the circumstances surrounding its move to its current Center City location where it has been recently relocated adjacent to another cultural jewel, the Rodin Museum. My argument is that the new Barnes Foundation museum is less about fulfilling or continuing the original mission or Dr.
