There is an undeniable connection between the South and occurrences of extra-terrestrial form. From other worldly jazz guru Sun Ra, to German rocket scientist Wernher von
Braun, Alabama has always had more than an ample share of connections to outer space. Such is the case with Man or Astro-Man?, who arrived in a small college town in Alabama some years ago. In order to integrate into human society, they would have to downplay their true identities and take on aliases, most conveniently in the form as students. While studying industrial design and film, the group began formulating a mode in which to learn more about their new earthly environment.

Talk | Beyond the High Line: Transforming Philadelphia
Public · By Next City
    Monday
    7:30pm until 8:30pm

Stop by for the launch of this year’s Beyond the High Line, a series of free talks about adaptive reuse projects around the world. The first talk features the Reading Viaduct, a 3-mile-long railway traveling through Philadelphia. Beginning in 1893, the railway carried both passengers and mail to and from the Reading Terminal, in downtown Philadelphia. When the railway ceased operations in the 1980s, nature took over, covering the tracks with wild grasses and self-seeded shrubs.

Paul Levy, of Center City District, will present plans for his business improvement district’s vision of a Philadelphia destination centered around a transformed Reading Viaduct. Leah Murphy, of Friends of the Rail Park, will speak on behalf of the nonprofit’s mission to preserve the historical industrial character and existing self-seeded landscape of the elevated viaduct and submerged City Branch and build a three-mile park. More info on the speakers can be found here.

The Beyond the High Line series is presented by Friends of the High Line in partnership with Next City. Be sure to follow Next City’s blog coverage of each talk and topic, starting with Sarah Goodyear’s Talking Public Space Space Beyond the High Line.
