Charlie visited Chez Bow in Northern Liberties

Chez Bow Wow in Northern Liberties
Last week we got our cat Charlie shaved and groomed at Chez Bow Wow in Northern Liberties. Whenever we bring him home, he is like a new cat. He is more limber and runs around like a mad man. The first time we brought him home, our other cat Ashley did not recognize for a day ! My wife Stephanie loves it for there is less hair to clean up and less hairballs ! He complains about going in the cat box but we think he really likes it afterwards !

Chez Bow Wow is a relatively new addition to Northern Liberties at Liberties Walk. The staff is always very pleasant and fun. There are always a number of other pets there which makes it a fun trip.

The store is certainly a great addition to Northern Liberties and we would recommend to go there for anyone who is intersted in getting their pet groomed !

Check out the website for Chez Bow Wow !
Also look at their photo gallery - a lot of great snapshots !
Maybe I can bribe them to add Charlie to their site ???

Cantina Dos Segundos - A Real Treat in Northern Liberties !

Cantina Dos Segundos - an awesome addition to Northern Liberties !

My wife Stephanie and I took a break from our workaholic schedule and the craziness of the philadelphia real estate market to enjoy dinner at Cantina Dos Segundos (otherwise knows as the restaurant that replaced Azure ) at 931 N 2nd St - see google map.What a treat ! We used to go to Azure at least once a week so we were very sad and disappointed when Azure closed. We just figured that the new restaurant would be the run of the mill Mexican joint.

We were pleasantly suprised ! We were started with delicious nachos and salsa - very fresh and appealing - was a great way to break in with a drink. Stephanie really enjoyed her red wine ! We ordered mini octopus for an appetizer and carne asada for an entre. Both dishes were delicious - we were in heaven !The service was superb and the atmosphere was a delight. We found out from our server that the name stood for "2 seconds" and it was the 2nd Cantina (first one is in South Philly) and of course it is on 2nd St (in Northern Liberties) If you have not gone as yet, we would highly recommend it !

Our Azure Blues are officially over (it took awhile) !

Northern Liberties is a Great Place to Live !

Today when my wife Stephanie and I were on way back from hosting open houses in Port Richmond and Old City, we were driving in to our condo parking lot in our Northern Liberties home at 2nd and Poplar and saw the mural at the end of the street (Newmarket St) being worked on by two local artists. The mural has become quite a sight - it is a reminder of how great of a neighborhood we live in - in Northern Liberties !!

We spoke with the 2 local artists - le Josh and Erica. le Josh invited us to his art show which will be in Old City tomorrow night so we might stop by. Both artists were smiling and having fun and did not mind us talking to them and let us take their picture while they were painting.
One of the photos we really like is the mural (which is painted on the side of I-95) with the new construction Waterfront Square (see above) that can be seen in the background. It shows a picture of art and development mixed together which from our perspective, is pretty darn cool.
After taking the photos and talking to the artists, on our stroll back to our condo Stephanie said "We live in a great neighborhood". I could not agree more !
