Make no little (happy hour) plans! Daniel Burnham–who co-authored the 1909 Plan of Chicago–would be 171 years old this year. We’re celebrating the birthday of one of the founders of American city planning eight days late. Join APAPASE for Happy Hour at Devil’s Alley Bar and Grill (1907 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103) on September 12, 2017 from 5-7pm. Tickets are $8 in advance ($10 at the door–cash only) and include your first drink and birthday cake. After your first drink, it’s cash bar. Drink specials will be $3 drafts, $4 house wines, and $5 sangrias. This event is open to Burnham-enthusiasts, professional planners, citizen planners, students (21+), urban designers, architects, landscape architects, professors, engineers, and anyone with an interest in the planning profession.

Of course, no birthday party is complete without fun and games. We’ll be playing HEADS UP! URBANIST: City Beautiful Edition. You will get three HEADS UP! cards on which there is a person, place, or thing with importance to urbanism and the planning profession. Hold them up to your forehead so you can’t see them and other happy hour attendees will give you clues so you guess what card you’re holding up.

This happy hour is sponsored by LRK Philadelphia, which focuses on creating a strong sense of place that is executed with passion and at a range of scales – the region, city, district, neighborhood and block. Our national team of planners, urban designers and architects bring experience in municipal planning, mixed-use district and walkable neighborhoods. LRK’s planning and architecture has been recognized by awards from APA, ULI, CNU, and NHBA; and includes local plans as diverse of as the Together North Jersey – HUD’s Sustainable Communities Regional Plan – and Waterside – Bucks County’s new riverfront neighborhood.
