Hi, I'm Yone. Email me at doorbell@yone.house with any questions or concerns or requests or just
to say hi.
If anyone wants to help me reserve seating I'll try to be there at like 12:30 :-).
About the venue:
- Public Transport: 47 northbound and southbound stops half a block away, ~8 minute walk from 64 and 40 bus stops.
- Parking: Parallel street parking available, and maybe the Fleisher Art Memorial lot if you ask (this
event is not officially affiliated with Fleisher).
- Entrances: Entrance is on Catharine, closer to 8th. Sidewalk is a little bumpy getting there. The
park is elevated, and can be accessed by 2 short steps, or a ramp on the eastern corner which has handrails
on both sides.
- Floor surface: brick and stone pavers, slightly bumpy but relatively even. No grass!
- Bathrooms: Fleisher's entrance is just a few feet away, and has two accessible gender-neutral
restrooms available to the public. Restrooms are accessible by a small set of stairs or a small lift that
requires knocking for a key from the desk.
- Seating: The park has two picnic tables I'll try to reserve beforehand, one with two
wheelchair-accessible seats. There are also many benches!
- Shade: Lots of trees and plants, park is quite shady in the afternoon.
- Wifi: I have the Fleisher wifi password (shhhhhh) and it reaches the full park, but I wouldn't depend
on it.
- Electricity: No outlets! Bring a charged laptop :-).
Charles Santore Library facilities and
accessibility info can be found here.
*This site was laid out with
hotglue.me, with a lot of custom HTML to make it accessible and structurally sound! To be honest, it is hard to wrestle with & I wouldn't do it again :-)
And thank you to ragman and Pixel for organizing last year's Philly HTML Day :-)
This is last year's site!
