Mr. Twilight is pretty much the best bunny ever. He is:
–House-trained and VERY good with the litterbox
–Friendly and easy to handle
–Quiet and not much of a chewer
–Already neutered
–Very healthy and already had a vet checkup this year
–Very soft and his coat does not need brushing
–Young, less than a year old so you’ll have him for a long time!
He is a really special rabbit. He’s available through Luv-N-Bunns Rabbit Rescue (http://www.luvnbunns.org/) and he’s at a foster home in University City. He would love to meet you! Please email Natalie at nhdavid86 [at] gmail.com if you want to take this beautiful guy home.

Update (03/06): The owner reports that Clawdius is back home.
An orange tabby named Clawdius has been missing since Thursday. He has one eye, so he is very distinctive. He has a tendency to wander into open basements. He frequents the backyards between Pine and Osage on the 4400 block.
If you have seen him, please call Susan at 267-307-5957.

Powelton residents will soon get more access to fresh, locally grown food. The West Philadelphia Fresh Food Hub, a mobile grocery store, is launching in April to serve Lancaster Avenue and the surrounding communities. The truck will sell groceries like rice, flour, milk, peanut butter and eggs and fresh fruits and vegetables supplied by Preston’s Paradise and Greensgrow Farms.
Ryan Kuck, West Philadelphia Fresh Food Hub project manager, says that they’ve been running a push cart market for about five years and were “looking for a way to scale up and be a more consistent access point to fresh food in our neighborhood.” The idea is “to be a grocery store more than a farmers’ market.”
So, look for the Fresh Food Hub starting next month along Lancaster Avenue, between 37th and 40th streets. The truck will also travel to senior housing communities, block parties and community events. The schedule for Lancaster Avenue (near 37th) is Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from noon to 6 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. when it’s not at a community event. They’ll have additional hours at the Mantua library on Wednesday evenings and the West Philly Senior Center on Friday afternoons (they are still working on the details).
For more information about the West Philadelphia Fresh Food Hub and people behind it, read this Plan Philly article or visit their Facebook page.
