Good news: Dollar Strolls are returning this summer to Baltimore Avenue, according to University City District. Bad news: it looks like there won’t be a stroll in June, meaning we will have to wait until July for $1 samosas, cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and theater tickets.

Here are the dates:

July 19

August 16

September 20

Stay tuned for more information on participating businesses and their $1 specials, and as a reminder of what we’ve been missing since last summer, check out the gallery below.

The Old School Game Night scheduled for tonight from 4 to 7 p.m. in Clark Park has been postponed due to rain. The new date is Tuesday, May 22, according to the Friends of Clark Park website. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate next week.

This Friday, May 18, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. there will be a “Super Swap” of baby, toddler, children’s and maternity clothing, toys, books and gear at the Greenfield Intercultural Center (3708 Chestnut Street), and all parents are welcome to bring clean, gently used items. Boys, gender neutral and older kids’ clothing are especially appreciated.

Make a minimum $5 donation at the entrance to benefit the New Parents @ Penn Group and take what you need/want.

You do not need to bring items to swap in order to participate. All remaining items will be donated to a local women’s charity.

You can drop off items two days before the swap and no later than 10 a.m. on the day of the swap.

To help set up, clean-up or if you have questions contact: Sarvelia Peralta-Duran at sarvelia.peralta@gmail.com. To be added to the Swap distribution list please request to join the Super Swap Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SuperSwap/

This Super Swap is an initiative in collaboration with the Penn Women’s Center, Greenfield Intercultural Center and the Penn Family Resource Center.

And please bring a positive attitude and a drive for fun!

This event is hosted by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation as part of “Love Your Park” week, a citywide celebration of Philadelphia’s parks. It is open and encouraged for all ages. Evening activities will be accompanied by DJ Patty-Pat’s Back-in-the-Day soundtrack.
