Spooky & Green Halloween Events: October 27 – 31st

Welp. It’s Monday again.

Hope you were able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend! We explored the Schuylkill Boardwalk for a run, as you can see from this week’s featured photo.

Whether you scored a free Uber-X ride pre-sting opp or are still contemplating better names than SEPTA’s new Key smart card payment system, it’s time to start focusing on the important stuff. Like the week ahead, and how you’re going to start locally celebrating Halloween all week.
