So in case you hadn’t noticed there is a food truck – sorry, “mobile food” – revolution happening around the country. Mobile food has become serious business. If you ever thought about starting a mobile food business you need to get to a free day-long workshop at Penn Law School in a couple of weeks.
The Mobile Entrepreneur Workshop will feature guidance on financing a business, copyright and trademarks, regulation and licensing and managing risk and growth. Penn Law’s Entrepreneurship Legal Clinic and the Philadelphia Mobile Food Association are sponsoring the workshop, which will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 16. Even lunch is free. But there is limited space and an RSVP is required.
For more information and the full schedule, visit the workshop’s Facebook page here or call 215-898-8044.

Philadelphia has more homicides per capita than any big city in the country. Guns are used in most of those murders. More than 100 people were shot in December in the city. A “conversation and exploration” will be held beginning at 1 p.m. this Sunday, Feb. 3, at The Calvary Center (48th and Baltimore) aimed at figuring out ways to curb gun violence.
Speakers at “Addressing Gun Violence in Philadelphia: A Conversation & Exploration” include Erica Atwood, a community engagement specialist with the Mayor’s office, and Daniel O’Brien, the assistant managing director of Philly Rising.
Free childcare will be available at The Calvary Center from 1-2:30 p.m. Write wpmf -at- wpmf.org to sign up for child care.
Kol Tzedek Synagogue, West Philadelphia Mennonite Fellowship and Calvary United Methodist Church are sponsoring the event.
