Penn Herb Company has been around since 1924, but it wasn't always at the familiar 2nd Street location. The original location was at 163 West Girard Avenue, which is now Posh Nail Studio. In 1995, the Betz Family opened up the north 2nd Street store, and Penn Herb became a neighborhood institution for natural remedies, essential oils, vitamins, spices, and herbs. If you can't find it elsewhere in town, you can almost bet that Penn Herb stocks it. The staff at Penn Herb is very knowledgeable about what they carry, so if you've been having any symptoms, they can suggest the right herb or treatment to alleviate your issues.
At the Piazza Farmer's Market a few weeks ago, I discovered that Penn Herb is the only place in the country where you can find Olbas, a natural herbal remedy from Switzerland. The product, which comes in oil, balm, lozenge, tea, or syrup form, provides soothing relief for cold symptoms and body aches. It will also boost your immune system. They gave me some samples to try, and as I massaged the Olbas oil into my temples the other day, I felt a headache melt away.
Now that Romancing the Walk and other Northern Liberties specials are in full swing, we'd like to point out that Girard Avenue is also vying for your Valentine-time attention. Love on Girard is coming on strong this week with the independent businesses and neighborhood anchors that line West Girard from Frankford Avenue to Franklin Street. So if you're still in need of gifts or beauty treatments, you'll find plenty of options here. Members of Hyperion Bank should enter the drawing to win a $50 gift certificate for nearby restaurants. Quince Fine Foods will include a handmade card with an order of chocolates. It's a Cupcake has recently moved its shop to Girard Avenue and will celebrate its grand reopening today. Enjoy 10% off a dozen and take them in for your coworkers. Our favorite? At Bonnie & Clyde Tattoo, if you purchase one tattoo, your partner's tat will be half price. That sure beats a dozen red stems.

It was the Friday night of the approaching snow storm that was predicted to hit Philadelphia hard. It had been a long and busy week and to top it all off, THE SNOW was approaching.
The flurries falling down from the sky made me recall memories of my childhood, like invisible tattoos on my conscience. Once upon a time, in a land far far away, I used to love the snow. The more, the better, and the kind that was wet made the best snowmen. As my boots crunched across the parking lot, I knew instinctively. This was good snowman snow.
Heading home the short way, rounding the corner around the back of the Piazza on N. Hancock Street, with our heads still spinning from the week, something caught my eye. A flash of light! A bolt of lightning! A dark figure! I squeezed my eyes tight and opened them again to see if I was imagining things. On this quiet Northern Liberties street filled with swirling white snow and dark shadows, I saw something amazing.
It will be here until March 15.
“The Land of Love and No Fear”, a new work by Eric Eaton
Eric Eaton is known as an accomplished tatoo artist and it is clear that his creativity has no limitations.
Take all of the most flavorful shops on East Passyunk Avenue. Transport them to a vacant storefront on 16th and Walnut Street, next to an ordinary downtown Starbucks, and press play. Is Rittenhouse Square ready for a pop-up 'hood? Come Friday, it will be.
We know how far South Philadelphia can seem to a lot of North and West Philadelphia residents, especially in the snow. Sometimes we just want to click our heels and be at the Pub on Passyunk East or browsing the racks at the vintage stores. To capture the Avenue, over a dozen specialty shops will be selling wares at the Pop-Up Hood, through this weekend only. Here are some of the participating retailers:
Over at North Bowl this weekend, the lanes started to fill with locals just after we left. Word on the $3.95-per-game Snow Day Special was out. Every time I've bowled there, it has been packed and for good reason: not only is North Bowl the only nearby lanes that doesn't require finding parking downtown, it's a step above most other lanes, and exactly what Northern Liberties needed.
So even though the usual crowd was not around on Saturday, we still had a great time and felt like we could really slow our pace because nobody was waiting for a lane. The family-friendly alley turns into a competitive but still neighborly arena for real pinheads. Even if you're less than skilled at knocking 'em down, there's still something about a post-brunch or late-night game here. Both the upstairs and downstairs bar provide beer and snacks that you wouldn't find at most alleys, and the music is always fun. Head upwards and get in a game of air hockey or pool in case you didn't fare so well on the lanes. Nobody leaves North Bowl without proving themselves.

Posterous is just amazing ! It is so easy and simple. How cool is it just by sending an email you complete a blog ? With Posterous, the title of the email is your blog title and the narrative of the email is the blog post. And of course the photo attachments are added to the blog content. We use Posterous as our photo blog and created a new domain that attaches to our website. Check it out: http://photos.thesomersteam.com/ . Now I am no SEO expert, but I believe that every day we add a new Posterous blog, our website is constantly refreshed with content. That is good, isn't it ?

This past week was brutal for the financial markets due to tremendous uncertainty that relates to the Obama Administration pressuring banks and threatening additional regulation, fear of slowdown in the Chinese economy as well as worries for some European countries not to mention the concerns regarding jobs in our own country. Still, with all the good news regarding earnings for this past quarter and strong outlooks by many companies, I believe that the fundamentals will take center stage again which should fuel a bit of a bounce back in the weeks ahead. Bottom line:Buy the dips !
