Food
Green space isn't common in Center City and landmarks around Rittenhouse Square are slow to change. So don't be surprised when walking down Walnut Street that the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has taken over that odd vacant lot right across the street from Rittenhouse Square and turned it into a garden focused on growing food for the City Harvest program. City Paper went to the opening and took a few pictures.

| Focus on this Nectarine |
I guess I'd seen a nectarine before, but I didn't recognize it when I saw it in the hands of City Paper copy editor Caroiyn Huckabay. I found myself intrigued by this nice looking fruit, with its gentle white-yellow-red gradiant and comforting buttocks like shapleyness. The nectarine was discussed for a short while. But only a short while because we're not freaks.
Today Chucks brought me one.
Damn this is good. Smells a little like a peach — and has a pit — but the skin and consistency of its innards remind this writer of a Red Delicious apple. The taste is somewhere in between, a bit pear-like, not too sweet but certainly desserty. The more I eat it, the more I wonder what this pit looks like. It's kind of gross, red as lung blood and the shape is hard to make out. I just stared at it for a while and now I feel strange.
