There is a lot to do in Media in the Summer. Last night Dave and I headed to the State Street Blues Stroll Summer doesn't officially start until next weekend but after the brutal heat wave we endured earlier this week it is easy to argue that Summer has arrived. The weather took a turn toward thunderstormy so the crowds seemed to be a bit less than usual.. but they have a long way to go to be called small. We saw 5 different groups in as many places and enjoyed the cooler air that the t-storms brought in.
Tonight we opted to stay home, but we could have walked over to Rose Tree Park to hear the Greaseband as part of the Summer concert series in the park. It supposedly started a few minutes ago and more than likely some of it will waft down toward our front porch. The best thing about these concerts is that they are free and outdoors. So it doesn't matter who's playing. You can try it out and leave if you don't like it. We are lucky that we can walk since parking is usually filled up quickly. They have become very popular.
On Wednesdays through the summer, the restaurants and shops in Media will come out onto the street for dining and shopping in the summer air! I look forward to a chance to wander down from time to time.
On Friday, June 20th, the Media Five Miler kicks off at 7 pm. I have signed up to run this year. We ran 5 miles with Phillyfit on Saturday so I should be ok. The 5 we did on Saturday was at Valley Forge park which is fairly hilly. So is the Media run. They advertise it as rolling hills but the 8th street hill between Olive and Jackson could hardly be called rolling. At least in my dictionary. I'll let you know how it works out.
