Happy Friday, readers!
Now that we’ve assessed if Philly really is the greenest city, launched a benchmarking tool and tried to give away all of our possessions on Facebook, it feels like we could all use a bourbon. Right? (We also snuck into No thanks! for the Philly Energy Hub in Citified, so check that out if you haven’t yet.)
Don’t worry, friends. We got the best events of the weekend lined up for you. But if you have off of work on Monday, do us a favor and do something good for the community. Deal? Deal.
