Park Review

Loved this article on a West Philadelphia resident's documenting of his daughter's evaluation of various playgrounds in town: "Zora plays and we all get a lesson on West Philly playgrounds."  I met Michael Froehlich through work and have since bumped into him a number of times at my kids' after-school program, so it's nice to see him meld his professional skills with his parenting perspective.  zoraplays.com is a fun mix of hand-drawn layouts of the places he visits with his daughter, descriptions of what's there, and what wowed or didn't wow her.  Brilliant idea, and one could think of worse ways to spend your time than to putter around the big city and check out a bunch of neighborhoods and parks with your child.  Kudos all around.
