Hidden City at Shiloh Baptist Church Saturdays 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM Sundays 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM May 30 – June 28, 2009 SONAMBULO – Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle’s Sonambulo (1998) is an 11-minute looping sound installation that resembles a field recording of a summer rainstorm. The work begins with a loud gunshot that quickly melds into thunder, subtly revealing the more threatening compositional elements of a seemingly benign soundscape. LIKE LAMBS – An almost Shakespearian space where a single preacher could teach many small, separated classrooms of children at once will be used by the artist to reconcile the differences between the religion that he was raised to believe in and the questions that he now faces as an adult. Steven Earl Weber’s installation in the Shiloh Baptist Church includes multiple videos and sculptures that enables visitors to experience the Frank Furness-designed church.
Where am I? Welcome to the Graduate Hospital neighborhood of Philadelphia. Aptly named for the…wait for it…graduate hospital at 18th and Lombard, this neighborhood is mostly residential with a sprinkling of coffee shops (Check out The Beauty Shop Cafe at 21st and Fitzwater), boutiques (such as Loop at 19th and South St), and restaurants (like the Sidecar or Divan, a Turkish restaurant at 22nd and Catharine St). To get here can be a challenge. The 12 bus runs along Greys Ferry, the 17 goes south on 19th St, the 64 along Washington, or the 7 runs along 22nd. There are a few lots and some street parking.	The Sidecar Bar & Grille The Sidecar Bar & Grille is located at 22nd and Christian, less than two blocks west from the Shiloh Baptist Church. Open since 2006, the Sidecar offers good service, excellent food (American Bar food) and a well-rounded drink selection. Sidecar owner Adam Ritter lives in the neighborhood enhancing the local feel. One of the best thing about this bar is that it looks and often feels like a trendy, cosmopolitan hangout, but it has all the friendly down-home aspects of a neighborhood dive. The music is awesome, and in the nice weather you can get outside seating. Overall, a great place for brunch, drinks and good eats.
