What’s your favorite springtime activity?
Jason Johnson
stage worker | North Philadelphia
“Playing my drums outdoors. I’m part of a band, and I prefer playing outdoors. It’s an entirely different vibe. The people are more relaxed. There’s more opportunity for spontaneous dancing. People can grab something to eat. Open-air festivals are definitely a preference of mine.”

“Running. I like the feeling it gives me, the runner’s high. I’ll run around Washington Square at night. Spring nights in the city are really pretty. I tend to be less active in the winter. I just chill out at home. So running also helps me get back into shape.”

“Walking my dog in the park. I have a French bulldog, and he loves to play fetch. But in the winter he has to wear a coat. He doesn’t have as much ease of movement. He has more fun playing fetch in the spring, without the coat.”
Charles Wilson
student | North Philadelphia
“Hanging out in Rittenhouse Square. I love that place. It gives the city some class. I’ll just hang out and socialize with people, maybe take some pictures. On quiet days, I’ll just lay in the grass and cloud-watch.”
