Experience

Independence Seaport Museum

Penn's Landing marks the spot where Philadelphia's founder first came ashore, and it's the site of this museum that explores the maritime tradition of the Delaware River Valley and the Jersey Shore. The special focus here is on "Skin and Bones," an exhibit of sailors' tattoos, reflecting their beliefs, values and desires.

On Canvas

Hoots and Hellmouth

Philadelphia based Hoots and Hellmouth create music that sounds like their name. It's raucous, spiritual, get-ready-for-a-showdown type of music and it makes you feel good. Their second album, The Holy Open Secret, is out now on MAD Dragon Records (out of Drexel University) and in their words is 'new music for old souls.' They perform for an energetic crowd at World Café Live.
