Plot twist: The final battle takes place in the bathroom. 🥷🎴🛁

Seriously, if the bathroom doesn't transport you to another dimension, are you even trying?
Any guesses where this magical bathroom lives? (Hint: 🔥 noodles are involved.) 🍜🚽✨🧰🔧

Proof that heaven exists… and it’s flaky, buttery, and found in Harrisburg on Hillcrest street or in your neighborhood. 🚚 🥐✨
If you haven’t had a croissant from Frederic Loraschi Chocolate LLC , are you even living?

Fun fact: The word “Pennsylvania” is misspelled in the U.S. Constitution. 📜
It’s spelled “Pensylvania” - Specifically, on the part where the signers affixed their names.

This spelling was common in the 18th century, including on the Liberty Bell. 🔔

Worth noting that the Constitution also correctly spells it with two "n"s in other sections as both forms were common back in the day.

Fun Fact #2: Dozens of communities in greater Philly place our media in new move-in packets for new residents and I'm eternally grateful.

🎂 Tampa, you’re 138 today! and you don't look a day over fabulous! 💅

What began on July 15, 1887 has grown into a vibrant, multicultural city, built on cigar factories and cubans in Ybor City to Gaspirilla pirate legends along the Hillsborough River, and pioneers like Frances Henriquez.
{{ The first woman, and first Hispanic woman elected City Clerk.Mar 19, 2025}}

Here’s to sunshine, stories and 138 more! 💛🌴🦎

* Graphic is an actual picture Christine Vasiliades took of the Tampa postcard mural in downtown Tampa several years ago. It's located on 1102 N Florida Ave, Tampa, FL 33602

Let's start the day with
TAMPA BAY FUN FACTS 🌴
Did You Know? 💡
St. Pete has more murals per square mile than anywhere else in Florida. 🎨
It’s literally a walking open-air gallery.

And lucky me, I’ve snapped about 100 of them while on a tour with
One even made it onto the cover of our Tampa Bay Guide (yes, that bright lizard beauty by Derrick Donnelly is our Tampa Bay Guide cover 🦎).
{{ there's a story about this cover that I'll tell later}}

This city isn’t just colorful, it’s bursting with creativity, soul, and small businesses worth discovering. If you’re mural-obsessed too, you’re in the right place 💛💙💚🖤

Here are a few of my favorites! Link in the comments for Florida running tours.
