I had the idea of blogging about living in The Phoenix for a while. The most difficult part was to decide what do I want actually to put in my blog... I m not one if those who is ready to share the feelings with all world. And I wanted my blog being useful resource of information for those who live in the building or going to live here or in the neighbourhood. Like most people I love dining, shopping and having a good time... Also I love finding a good deal! There are many resources about life in Philadelphia, however I wanted to localize, to pick up the best news around The Phoenix combining with updates on a life inside the building. Hope my blog will help you to enjoy living in this great place!
