It is a member based/co-operative space workshop for artists, craftsman, innovators, hobbyists and DIY'ers. The 13,000 sq-ft building contains industrial-grade, woodworking and metal fabrication equipment (Table & Panel Saws, Lathes Planers, Welding Equipment, Sewing Machines, Pottery Wheels and Kilns) They have Co-Working Space where they rent out studios to different businesses (examples: Recording Studio, Graphic Designer, Photographers, Videographer, Furniture Makers, Artist, Publicist, Solar Generator Innovator, Mobile App Developer, Website Developer, Silk Screen Business, etc.) They have beginner's classes for Basic Power Tools such as the jig saw, drill press, bandsaw and an assortment of sanders (safety, material properties, tool setup, and equipment operation). Other classes cover Miter Saw, Radial Arm Saw, Intro to Lathe, 'Stitch & Bitch' (intro to sewing), etc. Make sure to stop by and drink some small-batch/artisanal coffee at the Revolution Coffee Roasters cafe (lower level) and check out the Factory! Observation: At the moment, I don't see any signage on the main road (may be due to red tape/zoning laws?). I think that the Factory should have a sign on Haddon Ave to let people know 'hey, come check-out the Factory'.

I was here for a wedding two years ago then back tonight for a private event. It's a really nice…read morevenue! Easy to get to and lots of parking. The ballroom is two floors with the second floor looking down into the first. When I attended the wedding the couple got married at the venue as well. Everything was handled flawlessly when turning it over to dining after the ceremony. Food was great too! The event tonight was very nice. There was plenty of room for the many registration tables. The ballroom held over 30 tables for businesses to share their well known dishes. There were also also high top tables throughout.

I'm not much of a theatre type of person so when I saw a good deal, I thought I had nothing to lose…read moreexcept a few dollar bills. It was worth it. I arrived an hour early, had decent parking since they have a private lot, grabbed my will call seats, ate a snack and sat with my friend before the show started. The seating was small but I have heard bad stories about other theaters in Philly. I'm 5'1 so having a clear view means a lot and also I had enough room to have my coat in my lap. It is tight seating, I won't deny that but not so bad. Overall the venue is between a 3 star and 4 star. I do want to recommend an early arrival to get parking and avoid any lines. There is an elevator but you I recommend calling ahead to verify if you may need assistance.

I've been to several events at E Lounge over the years, so when it came time to plan my son's Bar…read moreMitzvah reception, there was really no question where we wanted to celebrate. From our very first meeting with Barry and Ellen, everything was easy, organized, and stress-free. They completely brought our vision to life -- the room was absolutely stunning, and the food was beyond delicious. They went above and beyond to accommodate us, from helping coordinate cash payments to letting us bring our own alcohol, and even allowing me to come in a few days early to set up décor. It truly felt like they cared as much about our event as we did. E Lounge is simply the best, and we wouldn't hesitate for a second to host our other son's event there when the time comes.

On our walk to the restaurant I thought I was going to, we stopped inside Songbird to "find out party information". I was led back to the large back room which was dark and quiet. It was opened for me, the lights were turned on and about 40 of family members and friends that I love yelled SURPRISE!!! For about the next 3 hours, there was singing, laughing, speeches, cake and to be honest, one of my favorite nights of my life. Thank you Songbird for being a big part of this wonderful celebration!

Carpenters' Hall is a small but important historic site in the heart of Old City, Philadelphia…read more This is where the First Continental Congress met in 1774, making it a key piece of early American history. The building itself is quaint and well-maintained, and while the space is small, it's packed with interesting information and exhibits about its role in the founding of the country. (LOL things I learned while touring the hall) The surrounding garden is peaceful and beautifully kept -- a great spot to take a breather while exploring the area. Inside, they sell some charming little souvenirs like president rubber ducks, which are perfect for kids. It's completely free to enter, but there's a donation box in the center -- definitely consider dropping something in to help keep this gem open. A quick, meaningful stop that's well worth your time.
