A Love Note From Philly Chit Chat

A Love Note From Philly Chit Chat

Happy Valentine Day!! Yesterday the beloved LOVE statue came out of hiding after nearly a year of restoration, or as Nik the Webchick says, a lifetime. There was a cute “parade” from the Art Museum area to her final resting place in the newly renovated and attractive
Love Park. The dedication to the park will happen this spring. There’s lots of goodies that await.


An impressive amount of press and people came out to follow LOVE on her journey.
All my favorites in one photo

Thank you to all my editors, who process photos and help share the love of Philadelphia, especially shining a light on the charities I cover.  Who have helped me create and form my content provider business, all of who wear many hats at their organizations, but will stop and post photos to get the word out.

Listed in the order of when I started contributing to them.
Philly Style Mag (Meredith Fertig) , Philly Mag (Tim Haas, Claudia Gavin), Liberty City Press (Dana Rubenstein), Metro Philly (Jennifer Logue), Philadelphia Business Journal (Alison Burdo, Clara Lefton), CBSPhilly (Lauren Sullivan) and my newest outlet Philly Voice (Lexie Norcross, Jenny DeHuff),
I Love Youse, and thanks!!

Thank you to my sister Janine DeFeo, who does all my invoicing and scheduling. Reads my emails, which is difficult. Nobody wants to sift through them. I love you.

Thank you to all my clients, who are too numerous to mention. Nearly 75% of my work is done on a contract basis, where clients hire us to get share their stories in the media;  and to the media outlets who trust that I will place photos with them that match their brand.


Thank you to all of you, who support me on my many platforms Instagram, Twitter, my two FB pages and here at PhillyChitChat, my baby.
Thank you to my photographers Mike Hirata, Andre Flewellen, and Talya Hailey. Not only do they see my vision of capturing the most important photos to tell the story of an event,

they are ready at a phone call to shoot a last minute event, or step up when the head photographer gets a blood clot and calls from the emergency room to cover his events, which was also coordinating by my sister Janine.

Thanks to my sister Crista Bateman, who is the creative side to my social media, I’m the ranting what the heck is he talking about side.

Thanks to Beth Lawrence who recently came on board to help me with partnerships, business opportunities and advertising efforts.
So if you want to advertise email me at HughE@PhillyChitChat.com and Beth will help you with getting that done.
People were excited to get back to posing in front of LOVE
Thank you to my husband Mike Toub, who is the tech guy behind the scenes, and gives me his honest opinion.
THANK YOU to my friends, especially those who put up with my cancelling at the last minute cause someone hires me to cover their event. Thanks to them for all their support, the laughter and the ear to bend.

THANK YOU TO MY FAMILY when I don’t have the time to see them for those important dates cause I’m shooting a Walk on a Saturday, or a fashion show Sunday afternoon and can’t make someone’s celebration or important milestone.
It takes a village to create a more perfect union, to restore LOVE in Philly.
Thank you to those people behind the scenes that make Philadelphia a great place to live.


Nobody loves this city more than Sheila Hess, The City Rep. Thank You!!

Sunday Chit Chat: Superbowl with Joel Embiid & Love

Sunday Chit Chat: Superbowl with Joel Embiid & Love

Hope you’ve recovered from Eagles Fever a bit, I finally feel somewhat rested. Today’s entry is going to be brief

Joel

as last week I finally was forced to switch from my PC to Mac and I am doing a crash course learning, which is not going well. It’s really a totally different operation and not as easy as a PC which I had been using for all my life, but Mike says a Mac is better and that’s that….I know a lot of you would agree.

JoelSixers Joel Embiid watched the Eagles Super Bowl from the balcony of the Ritz Residences. A born politician, he’s great with the kids. Fans recognized him from the street and started singing “Trust the Process, Trust the Process” at which point Embiid waved to them.

JoelThe Love Park sculpture finally returns to its perch on Tuesday, as I told you last month when I did my sneak peek of the newly renovated park. What I didn’t mention was there would be a “parade” through the City, passed City Hall including a lovely ceremony. More details will be released by Parks & Recreation on Tuesday regarding specifics. Also look for a new visitor center to be built at Love Park, more accessible tourists and city loving people like moi.

JoelCongrats to Deja Lynn Alvarez. Out, loud, proud and doing things in the LGBTQ community for years.
I’m glad to know her, she’s super nice and resourceful.

No one was more fashionable than Jason Kelce

I captured him on his bus at Broad & Pine, I was among a bunch of pot smoking, underage drinking, Trust Falling kids and a guy who flew in from Nashville, it was loud, and crazy – Best Day Ever!!

 “We’re from Philly, fucking Philly / No one likes us, we don’t care!”

 


I stopped by Pipeline earlier in the day.
I finally looked up why people call Nick Foles Big Dick Nick. It’s Connor Barwin’s fault.


I like a guy that brings his own music to a party


Sponsor Pick up Tickets for Something Rotten and subscribe to PhillyChitChat for your chance at a pair of tickets

The New Exciting Concourse Dance Bar Opens – Retro, $5 & No Dress Code

Philadelphia night life just got excited again with the opening of Concourse Dance Bar in the old Turf Club at 1635 Market Street. Avram Hornik, FCM Hospitality owner of popular spots Morgan’s Pier, The Dolphin Tavern, William Street Common and everyone’s favorite summer spot Parks on Tap, wanted to create a no nonsense retro club with a $5 cover and no dress code, like The Dolphin Tavern, but much larger.

The Concourse Dance Bar entrance is in the breezeway between Market and JFK on 17th Street. While waiting in line you’ll enjoy a beautiful view of City Hall.


Originally it was written that guests would use a slide to enter the club, but plans changed and there’s a nice staircase which descends into the club. The former escalator is filled with fun inflatables to set the tone of the retro club.


Lucy the mirrored Giraffe greets you as you enter the club.


There are lockers for you to put your belongings


The club is bi level, on the first floor is a dance floor,


furry poles

PS Did I mention there’s no dress code, which is great cause I love to wear shorts in the summer and there’s not too many dance clubs that have a relaxed dress code.
And a plastic ball pit,

yes that’s right a plastic ball pit


The ball pit fits 20 people comfortably, and folks get 15 minutes to play and take selfies. There’s an attendant on hand.

There’s also a spot for coats and shoes before diving into the “pool” BTW don’t dive into the pool

The 2nd level is lounge like with tables, comfortable seating, couches
fuzzy chairs and 70s retro tables
If you think they’re going for the Studio 54 vibe, you’d be right


There’s a photo booth


and pac-man video games near the ball pit
In the center of the downstairs area is a section of cocktail tables The ladies room is easy to find on the first floor, across from the lockers. The men’s room is across the hall.
Concourse is opened Friday and Saturday from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Get there early as this spot
is going to be hot, hot, hot

Eagles Fans Celebrate The Joy Of Winning – Lots of Love, Hugs & High Fives

Congratulations. THIS IS US, thanks Eagles for bringing us together. What an amazing night of football and celebration.


I started my night off attending Billy Nigro’s (Eye Encounters) annual Super Bowl Party, but this year we were in the Super Bowl, holy cow!!
Old friends Lisa Booth and Mike Missanelli

 

I got out to Broad Street with about 90 seconds on the clock, and boy did they wind down slowly


Outside Brent Celek’s Blue Duck on Broad


The police were just as interested in watching the game as the rest of us fans

and celebrated the win before their boss told them to get on their bikes

 

The first fans head out to Broad Street to celebrate


It was a very emotional moment for all of us

Super
Fans young and old celebrate after the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl

Unlike two weeks ago I thought I’d walk around a bit, and BTW the crowds Sunday night were 5xs more than 2 weeks ago. It was crushing to be on Broad Street


Chestnut Street much better except people didn’t get the memo that they’d be stuck for hours in traffic and fans on foot


Modell’s was open and selling shirts and memorabilia. I would have bought some but the line was out the door at midnight.
He told me he got his costume at Walmart.


Poles were not match for Philadelphian’s


This women kept saying over and over “YES WE DID!!”
Thanks for reading Philly Chit Chat
