Green Elves & Jingle Bells: Weekend Events Dec 12-14

Happy Friday!

Hope you’re getting into the holiday festive spirit like SEPTA trolleys and trains.

ICYMI this week, PlanPhilly informed that City Council ended their Fall with new bus shelters and Philadelphia Land Bank plan. And the City Hall Parking Lot may be donezo, too! Or Generocity informed us that you can grab a piece of pizza pizza (my fav!) and help those in need, too.
