Classic chrome, emo night and picnic in the park
I’m trying to figure out why I find myself at the grocery store three times a week. Is it fridge mismanagement? Instagram’s fault for showing me a new recipe? Am I bad at creating lists the first time around?
I have no idea. But I know a Giant loves to see me coming. Where every trip is at least hundred bucks 🙃
But while I ponder my planning issues, you can read the weekend goods.
Chrome & curb appeal
On Sunday from 10 to 3, State Street in Newtown is trading regular traffic for 150+ classic parked cars and pre-war Fords. Come to think of it, Newtown traffic always feels like parked cars…
Anyway, you can grab food truck bites, admire the tailfins and poke your head under open hoods.
Just murmur “they don’t build ’em like they used to”, and everyone will assume you’re an expert.
Your MySpace era in song
Friday night is for the emo kids. Broken Goblet in Bensalem is having a pop punk tribute night starting at 7.
Expect craft beer, intense sing-alongs and every anthem that set your MySpace profile mood (ranking our friends was wild). Eyeliner and dramatic hair flips are optional (but probably recommended).
Picnic like it’s 1776
Also on Friday, Bristol is finally hosting their rescheduled America 250 celebration down along the river from 6 to 8.
They’ll have old school lawn games, live music, food trucks and ice cream. Basically all the old fashioned charm minus The Oregon Trail level risks (nothing worse for nine year old you than the green screen popping up - ‘you have died of dysentery, game over’).
Whether you’re into popped hoods, pop punk or picnics, you’re covered. And the weather is finally going to be beautiful for more than 12 hours in a row.
So whatever you do, have fun! I’ll see you Sunday for the slow down.
May your grocery runs be more efficient than mine,
