I had a lovely time eating hot dogs and homemade pierogis with these fine ladies on Sunday... They're a solid hang. Although, Sister Maria kept suggesting, "you're trouble, aren't you?!" I have no idea what she was talking about, guys. . Sister Maria & Sister Timothea are Missionary Sisters of Mother of God and live in Philadelphia. This was the second annual "A Call to Prayer" pilgrimage--a few hundred pilgrims traveled from as far as Washington, D.C.; New Brunswick, New Jersey; and Philadelphia to focus on their spiritual lives for the afternoon in Centralia, PA.

Philly company digitizes 25,000 old records and they're free to download

By Peter Crimmins

Twenty-five thousand songs recorded onto 78RPM discs in the early 20th century have been released online, for free.

They are the first batch of an estimate 400,000-piece virtual record collection to be made available by the Internet Archive, from gospel by the Tuskegee Institute Sings, to opera recorded in Italy, to novelty tunes by Spike Jones, to hot — though obscure — jazz.

The task of digitizing all of those old records is happening in Chestnut Hill.

In a little storefront building on Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia's Chestnut Hill neighborhood, George Blood Audio LP, an audio preservation company, has been quietly preserving America's musical heritage, one 78 at a time.

"My life is not perfect, nor does it fit those success stories of single moms finding love, fortune, and fame. I simply love what I am doing now at the cafe. Today was a particularly stressful day, but I come home, tired, and somehow happy. Even though I took a year off to write, I never left the cafe in spirit. I'm glad I came back and didn't pick yet another retail job or an office job."
