Notre Dame: A Legacy of Strength and Endurance From the timeless majesty of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to the enduring spirit of Notre Dame football, strength is not merely a quality—it is a tradition. The cathedral, with its resilient arches and steadfast towers, has stood as a beacon of hope and faith for centuries, weathering trials and emerging as a symbol of perseverance. This same spirit defines Notre Dame today. It lives in the hearts of those who carry its name, a reminder that no challenge is too great, no obstacle insurmountable. Strength is not only built in stone but also in the values, community, and unwavering belief that unite us. As Notre Dame continues to inspire generations, we celebrate not just what it has withstood but what it represents: the endurance of faith, the power of unity, and the timeless pursuit of greatness. #NotreDameunites #NCAAFootball #NotreDame #paris #France #irish

Vare Recreation Center in Grays Ferry recently celebrated the ribbon-cutting and grand opening of its $21 million renovation project. This transformative revitalization, completed in partnership with Rebuild Philadelphia and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, was made possible through the support of former Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, Council President Kenyatta Johnson, State Representative Jordan Harris, the Rosenthal Foundation, the Philadelphia Eagles, and many others. The newly renovated 18,700-square-foot Vare Recreation Center features a 7,000-square-foot indoor basketball gymnasium with spectator seating, a 4,900-square-foot gymnastics gym outfitted with state-of-the-art athletic equipment, and a 900-square-foot multipurpose room that can be divided into two classrooms. Additional amenities include a computer lab with high-speed fiber optic internet, two new outdoor basketball courts, a sprayground, a 1,500-square-foot outdoor plaza and performance space, and a 6,000-square-foot playground with play structures for children of all ages. A regulation-sized synthetic turf field is also set to be installed in spring 2025. Vare Recreation Center is the first of the city’s 183 rec centers to receive fiber-optic high-speed internet that will be utilized in the facility’s new computer lab. “We want every child who steps into this rec center to know their city values and believes in them,”?Philadelphia Parks and Recreation?Commissioner?Susan Slawson?said. “We want every parent to know that their children have a safe and secure place to learn to play and to grow.” Photos: IC Image Works & Better World Photography #RebuildPHL? #CityofBrotherlyLove #Philadelphia #PhillyParks #RebuildProgram #PhiladelphiaNews Philadelphia Eagles

The 22nd annual SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 at the BAC Local 1 Training Center was an action-packed celebration of masonry mastery! Bricklayers from all over brought their A-game, racing against the clock to build the best brick walls and claim the title of "World’s Best Bricklayer." But it’s more than just a competition—it's a chance to show off the art and skill behind masonry and get young people excited about a hands-on career in the trade. With the thrill of competition (and maybe some flying bricks), this event was all about building up the next generation of masonry pros in the most exciting way possible! Congrats to all our masons that participated! #SpecMix500 #UnionMasonry #Bricklayers
