We are LOVING these socially distanced exploration ideas! What have you explored during your quarantine?

Like most of America, we've been watching closely to what's happening in our nation. We see you and we hear you. We have always been about telling stories of wh...at you might not see in history books, but we need to do better in telling the stories of our African American founders. Going forward, we commit to actively highlighting the stories of the brave African Americans who helped build Colorado and shape the West. Today, we're highlighting one of our favorite legends of Denver, a woman who fought for women’s suffrage and equality. Meet Elizabeth Piper Ensley: reporter for a newsletter of the National Association of Colored Women, campaigner for the Colorado Equal Suffrage Association (suffrage for African Americans had been a central issue for Colorado's long and troubled bid for statehood), and founder of the Colored Woman’s Republican Club. From Colorado Library: Ensley joined the campaign to put a women's suffrage amendment on the November 1893 ballot in Colorado so that women could vote in all elections. We can remember Ensley's legacy walking down North Capitol Hill's Logan Street, where she lived during the later years of her life, just a short walk away from the Molly Brown House Museum. History Colorado has many more stories of African American inluence in Colorado's path to statehood, contributions to the city of Denver, and struggles and obstacles that exist to this very day: https://www.historycolorado.org//11-black-coloradans-stori ' ? - @.

This Friday, we're excited to highlight a local business very near and dear to us: Campo's Philly Cheesesteaks! This business has changed faces since its opening in West Philly in 1947 but remained family owned to this day, now specializing in hoagies, burgers (including the Impossible Burger, made from plants), and, of course, the cheesesteak. We asked Mike Jr., general manager and great grandson of founder Ambrose Campo, a few questions about what he and the fam have been u...p to during these difficult times for local businesses. Here they are: ' ? The only way we know how to deal: going to work and hoping for the best. , ? I've been passing the time by exploring Philly's green spaces. My search for green spaces isn't as glamorous as you might think, because fishing is my main focus! I learned that the prized sport fish Striped Bass migrate up the Delaware river to spawn, in the exact location they were spawned years before. During April and May, you can catch a huge fish out of the Delaware, so I have been to places like Hog Island, the Fairmount Water Works on the Schuykill River, and the Navy Yard. ? ’? I'd recommend exploring Fairmount Park (shoutout to Fairmount Park Conservancy) and the Mural Arts Philadelphia program. Both of which would take three lifetimes to see all of it! Mike also wanted us to let everyone know that Campo's is offering free food for anybody who has been financially affected or laid off of work: all you need to do is say that you're out of work, and the meal is 100% free!

#LocalsKnow : Philly's Ellis Island There's a small stretch of riverside property that offers a beautiful respite for many South Philadelphians. And while it’s small, this was Philadelphia’s busiest immigration station on the Delaware River from 1870, until it was torn down in 1915. The station was an entry point for millions of immigrants, especially coming in droves from eastern and southern Europe. The former Philadelphia History Museum at Atwater Kent featured il...lustrations of pier-side scenes, vendors and fee collectors and even brides getting married on the spot so they could enter the country legally! Today, Washington Avenue Green has been restored to its state prior to serving as an immigration station. A path winds through bursting sprays of purple asters and beggar-ticks with red mulberry and princesstrees overhead. South of the path patiently sits, awaiting a new life, the decaying 1950's SS United States, the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction, while to the north, the famous Battleship New Jersey is anchored.
