Smooth Jazz on the Waterfront with Warren Hill

Get in the Fountain or Go to the South Philly Walmart
Logan Circle or Walmart @ 1601 S Columbus
Summer yin and yang pick: since it’ll be August, either deny the future and take a cool dip in the fountain at Logan Circle, or go to the South Philly Walmart and try to buy school supplies (or anything). The store is a legend of ridiculous Philadelphia chaos (or like a boring episode of COPS where there’s mostly just yelling and rudeness) even on an off day, but Nutter help a pedestrian who stops in unsuspecting during the inevitable back to school sale maelstrom. You might as well stop by and check it out with a smile.
