And the city is robust with events celebrating the semiquincentennial. We've got our columns for the Philly dance scene and classical music to kick off the month, and this week's roundup offers more to do for America 250. So much momentum has been building up to this weekend, and while it comes charged with a variety of feelings, it's still a great time for celebration, remembering, and reflecting on our own personal histories and the history of a nation in all of its aspects.
Hope to see you out there, Philly! But be sure to not get beat by the heat.
