What we get to hear and experience in our little big town is something truly special. Artists, writers, comedians, musicians, and the many other exceptional creatives that call the greater Philly area home.
It’s my pleasure to highlight the intimacy and intricacy of a local Substack writer, Nini, and her Fibonacci Beans blog. A few favorites with excerpts below. Go subscribe if you’re a substacker.
