First Friday Events & Beyond 
May 2014
Brought to you by Old City District
Old City is hosting great events this May, including gallery openings and gatherings on First Friday, and other upcoming events and announcements.
 
Old City District has just launched our new website - www.oldcitydistrict.org.  We are excited to share this new resource with you! This new newsletter format is more compact and easier to navigate - click on the headline of any event to view a full description on the new website.
 
The website content is updated regularly, so visit the site to view all upcoming events and promotions in Old City  - by clicking on the "Events" or "Deals" tiles at the bottom of the home page. 

Google Maps has recently introduced their latest addition of Business View, an extension of Street View, which offers the same 360-degree video technology inside of businesses.  

 

Old City District is the first neighborhood in Philadelphia to actively promote this technology through its partner Every Merchant, the local trusted agency for Google Maps. Participants' Business View Tours will appear on oldcitydistrict.org's business listings in place of still photographs.
