Round Museum

I see you flying there. But I don't think you can see me. Just hover over closer. A liiiiiiittle closer and you're mine. One flick of my slingshot tongue and I will grab you real quick.

Hello? Are you home? Been pressing the Apt 304 button over and over, but no answer. Your pizza is getting cold out here. Hello?

Outside Ottawa is a 100,000 square foot, four-story, underground Cold War relic called the Diefenbunker. Now operated as a museum, it was the site of top-secret communications from 1962 until being decommissioned in 1994. It was intended to house Canadian government officials if there was a nuclear war and built to withstand a 5 megaton nuclear blast. Kind of ironic, then, that this MK-4 Round atomic bomb welcomes visitors at the front entrance. Duck and cover, folks.

Some dreams start small and then grow. An artist may create many sketches or build models to explore the possibilities of an idea. Sculptor Dina Wind's "Spring and Triangle" is a multi-part steel structure that started out with a version only 37 inches high, but its final 30 foot tall form is a scale that's relevant to the trees and natural environment that surrounds it.

Wash asparagus and trim off the ends. Place onto a plate, drizzle with olive oil, sea salt and ground black pepper. Wrap in plastic wrap and microwave for one to two minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Remove from microwave and admire the steamy Round bubble you've created. Oh, yeah... eat the asparagus.

Down at the club there's a gala celebration going on. Elevated above the chattle of your average, everyday, regular-Joe liquor bottles is the glowing runway of preening celebrity bottles, holding court in flanking honor of the supremely VIP liquor bottle in the Round. Drink up!

In West Philadelphia at 38th and Chestnut Streets you can view this ornate Round window of the Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral, the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania since 1992. With highly detailed ornamentation throughout its architecture, the current Church was rebuilt in 1902 after a fire destroyed everything of the original 1855 building except for the front facade and the bell tower.

Late afternoon Happy Hour at The Plough brings warm sunshine and long shadows through the tall front windows. From the balcony, this Round high-top and stools awaits just two things: a group of friends and a round of drinks.

Around Philadelphia, a unique graffiti artist has made their mark hanging bent wire symbols from electrical lines and traffic signals. Hearts and lightening bolts and piggies with wings and Rounds are popping up randomly in all kinds of intersections. Go, baby! You can't stop Art!

The lights have been on for nearly 40 years at Bridget Foy's restaurant, with this unique chandelier gracing the stairway to the upper floors. A hub of the Queen Village neighborhood at the corner of 2nd and South Streets and Headhouse Square in Philadelphia, the restaurant opened in 1978 as the East Philly Café, but was renamed with the birth of the owner's daughter Bridget in 1982. Through the years the restaurant has stayed with the changing times, yet on Wednesday October 25th a fire devastated the property in the early morning hours and now faces its greatest challenge.
