FRI, OCT 30: A familiar and welcome face at Albert Music Hall, MindyMurray performs regularly at our Saturday shows, and we're excited to welcome her back for a full set of her original music! 🎶 Mindy will take the stage as the fourth of six performers at the Albert Music Hall: Songwriters in the Pines show.

Here is her bio:
"Mindy Murray is a singer songwriter who draws from oral histories, newspaper clippings and local lore to create edgy rootsy songs -- born out of a desire to have her music mean something, while telling the stories of hard-working women and men. Many reflect life in the Mid-Atlantic region in the 30’s and 40’s as well as tales from the Appalachian mountains and coal fields where she worked the clinics while in medical school. Murray sings these songs with passion and intensity – palpable, like deep grooves in old records or the lines on the faces of the people she sings about. Her songs have been awarded first place by the International Songwriters Organization and the International Women’s Freedom Song, as well as being recognized by the United Mine Workers of America. They have garnered rave reviews from the likes of No Depression, Roots, and Americana UK. Murray is honored to be recognized as an “Artist in Residence” on Folk Music Notebook. You can catch her playing at festivals and concert halls throughout the US and abroad including several appearances at the legendary Philadelphia Folk Festival as well as many others such as The Northern Appalachian Folk Festival, The New Jersey Folk Festival, Musikfest, and The Cup of Tae in Ireland. But one of her favorite concert halls will always be Albert Music Hall. Her fourth album (first solo album) is due out in 2026. "

❤️ Philly almost lost one of its most famous landmarks.

Robert Indiana lent his LOVE sculpture to the city for the 1976 Bicentennial.

It stayed on "extended loan" for two years while his New York gallery tried to sell it to the city.

When no deal came together, the gallery had it trucked to New York to show a possible buyer.

Philly was furious, and F. Eugene Dixon, then chairman of the Philadelphia Art Commission, bought it and gave it to the city.

That's how LOVE came home to the plaza for good.

🔔 That famous crack in the Liberty Bell? It's not really the crack.

A thin crack most likely formed in the early 1840s, after almost 90 years of use.

In 1846, metalworkers widened it on purpose with a technique called "stop drilling," to keep it from spreading and to fix the bell's tone.

So the wide "crack" you see today is actually the repair job, and if you look closely you can still see more than 40 drill marks in it.

The fix didn't hold: a new crack spread up through the word "Liberty," and the bell went silent for good.

Did you know this, or did you always think that was the crack? 👇

🏛️ Philly once had the tallest building in the world. Seriously.

When City Hall's tower was finished in 1894, it became the world's tallest habitable building.

Counting the William Penn statue on top, it stands 548 feet tall.

It kept that title until 1908.

The whole building took 30 years to build, from 1871 to 1901.

Have you ever been up in the tower? 👇

✨ Is there a prettier view in Philly? We'll wait.

Boathouse Row is a line of 15 boathouses on the east bank of the Schuylkill, home to rowing clubs and their racing shells.

Some of them are more than 150 years old.

Back in 1979, lights were added to outline every house, and the reflection on the river has been stopping people on Kelly Drive ever since.

These days the LEDs can even change colors for holidays and big games. 💚

Is this the most beautiful view in the city? 👇
