Brewerytown Living!

**MM Partners** · 06-01-2011, 02:17 PM

We wanted to let everybody know about a new campaign we have put together. The intent is to introduce and expose people to Brewerytown, and emphasize the culture and lifestyle here.

We have created a website, Brewerytown Living | Philadelphia, PA | Brewerytown is a thriving Philadelphia neighborhood catering to the arts., to serve as the online community.

The main focus of Brewerytown Living will be to sponsor fun free events in Brewerytown. For example, in June there will be a movie night in the garden at Musghots, a DJ party with the renowned Cosmo Baker at ERA Bar, a sunset jazz concert at the Veteran's Memorial Park at 31st & Girard, and a doggie "Yappy" hour with refreshments for both dogs and their owners at the grassy vacant lot 31st & Girard. We intended to repeat these individual events once a month, with some other special events mixed in, throughout the summer.

Please check out the website, and we would of course greatly appreciate any feedback or thoughts on how to improve it. To stay in touch, please "like" the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Brewe...15579158526613

Great idea! However, any chance this can be made more robust and interactive, so that residents and business owners in Brewerytown can comment on past/upcoming events, promote their own events/offerings, etc.? Anything to truly make this a community forum for Brewerytown?

On Sunday June 12th at 8 PM, world-renowned Philadelphia native DJ Cosmo Baker makes a not-to-be-missed very special appearance at one of the City’s great-unknown dive bars!

Cosmo Baker is widely considered as one of the top party-rocking DJs on the planet. A master of everything from hip-hop to disco & funk to electronic music, his unique style and spinning prowess is able to bring it all together in a cohesive, and funky manner. This Philadelphia native cut his chops alongside contemporaries such as ?uestlove and Rich Medina, and when he relocated to Brooklyn in the early ’00s he helped found the internationally known DJ / remix collective The Rub. His knowledge of music is only matched with his uncanny ability to move the crowd. Cosmo is a rare breed of DJ that bridges the gap between the legendary DJs of yesterday and the superstar DJs of today.

Era Bar is located at the corner of 28th and Poplar Streets. Did you know it serves Ethiopian food, and has great craft beers on tap as well as cheap drink specials? What about its' super long 360 degree bar? This hangout reflects the Ethiopian soul of its owner, and should be far more widely known. This opportunity to come groove with Cosmo on a Sunday evening at Era is rare indeed. Don't miss this party on June 12th at 8 PM!

And of course the website itself is based on a Wordpress format, meaning that anyone can comment on the main posts.
