THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• The World Cup pitch has officially arrived in Philly, and it’s looking very real all of a sudden.

• Kurt Vile just released “Zoom 97,” the latest single from his upcoming album. It’s got the hazy acoustic groove and wandering introspection that Philly’s favorite indie slacker does best.

• It’s officially bee swarm season in Philly. A massive cluster of honeybees took over a van outside Tria in Center City yesterday before Philadelphia Bee Company safely relocated them to Fox Chase Farm.

• The Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art just announced a massive $100 million expansion that’ll add a new museum building, 10 miles of trails, and a 325-acre nature preserve to the Chadds Ford campus.
