The Eagles are Super Bowl Champions!

(Sidenote: If you’re expecting an educational sustainability post, you’re not getting it today. But we’re taking our name, Green Philly, literally today and painting our website Green. So celebrate history with us for one day.)

We walked around the city, and the excitement is everywhere. Like if you want to pick up organic fruit and cheer, swing by Whole Foods.

The Kimmel Center looks dashingly brighter today with an Eagles banner.

Last evening, the celebrations exploded on Broad Street as anticipated. They told Philadelphia not to climb the poles. So we improvised for recycling/trash trucks.

Walk on Broad Street for a few puns in support of our home team.

And it obviously wouldn’t be a true Philadelphia celebration without a hat tip to our forefathers. Ben Franklin’s peeping from One Liberty with his support. 

One more time: E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles! See you on Broad Street on Thursday.

The City of Philadelphia will host a parade this Thursday for our 2018 Super Bowl Champions! Go Eagles! The parade will tentatively start at 11 a.m. at Broad & Pattison, heading north to the Art Museum. Further info will be announced Tuesday at 9 a.m. #FlyEaglesFly #EaglesParade
