German Society of Pennsylvania
German Society of Pennsylvania

The German Society of Pennsylvania, located in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia, is the oldest German-culture organization in the United States. Founded in 1764, to aid German immigrants, including those who arrived as indentured servants, it now promotes the teaching of the German language and culture, sponsors lectures, concerts and films, and awards scholarships. Its Joseph P. Horner Memorial Library is the largest private German-language library outside of Germany. The Library was founded in 1817 and throughout its history collected a wide variety of literature and periodicals to serve the reading interests of German Society members; it continues to operate as a lending library today, with a focus on fiction, biography, and children's books in German. In 1867, under the leadership of Oswald Seidensticker, an archive was established, with the aim of documenting German-American history and culture, and that remains the primary mission of the Library today. Among the holdings are many early products of the German-American press, including a 1743 Christoph Sauer Bible, the first European-language Bible printed in North America. As a research institution, the Horner Library is also known for its pamphlet and manuscript collections related to German-American organizations and individuals, and its holdings of 19th-century popular German works that have become rare.Since 1888, the Society has been located at 611 Spring Garden Street in Philadelphia. Many of the city's German-culture public artworks were commissioned by the organization, including the statue of Peter Muhlenberg that now stands behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the monument honoring Francis Daniel Pastorius and the first German settlers, in Vernon Park, Germantown.

Milkboy

MilkBoy is an American recording studio and entertainment company founded in 1994 by Tommy Joyner. Company headquarters is located at MilkBoy the Studio, at 413 North 7th Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The original "MilkBoy Recording" was located in north Philadelphia at 5th and Olney above Zapf's music. In 2002 after partnering with composer Jamie Lokoff in 1999 Joyner moved to the Philadelphia "main line" area and opened the second studio at 44 West Lancaster Avenue in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. In 2006, MilkBoy opened its first food and beverage operation, a coffee shop and acoustic music venue on Cricket Avenue in Ardmore, right around the corner from the recording studio. A few years later they opened another MilkBoy Coffee in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, which changed ownership in 2012.In late 2011, MilkBoy Coffee obtained a liquor license and changed locations to Center City, Philadelphia. The newly named "MilkBoy" ("Coffee" was dropped from the business) a bar, restaurant, and live music venue, opened at 1100 Chestnut Street in Center City Philadelphia. Shortly after, in January 2012, Joyner and Lokoff left the Ardmore studio, bought what had previously been "The Studio," at 413 North 7th, and rebranded as MilkBoy the Studio, taking over operations from the previous owner producer/arranger Larry Gold. In his 2013 profile for Philadelphia Weekly, Kyle Cassidy touts the enterprising MilkBoy group as a Philly institution in entertainment and hospitality, writing "what’s most defined their success, especially over the last year, is their willingness to diversify and seek business outside of the obvious realm of straightforward music production."In 2010, partners Lokoff and Joyner formed the production company BBCG Films, LLC with co-producers Tammy Tiehel-Stedman and Brian O'Connor to produce the movie "Slow Learners," a romantic comedy starring Adam Pally and Sarah Burns. The movie was released by IFC Films' Sundance Selects on August 19th, 2015. In 2017, the MilkBoy brand expanded to College Park, Maryland opening MilkBoy ArtHouse in partnership with the University of Maryland, College Park. MilkBoy decided to end their partnership with UMD at the end of 2019. MilkBoy hosts three open mic competitions each year. The event kicks off at their south street location on Monday nights where ten finalists are chosen to move on to a live Competition at the Chestnut St. Location. The winner of this final event receives a recording contract at the studio on callowhill.
