two one five magazine

two one five magazine

"Our primary purpose in developing two.one.five is to create a space where ethnically diverse social exploration can be realized, allowing Philadelphia to help transcend last-century models while documenting the city's new 21st-century reality. And to have fun doing it." - two one five magazine

i never got the full understanding behind what two one five magazine was about but after looking at their website i was immediately drawn in. the site lets you know about a lot of cool and most importantly different things going on within the city. Even though i'm hardly ever home it actually gives me hope that when i do go home i'll have something to do basically every single day and night.
so i thought i would post some things that i found on the site that i thought were cool.
make sure you check the site out afterward.
