Elaine B. McKinney - Founder and Owner
As a lifelong Philadelphian, I am proud to be opening Life Lives Here—a space created for adults 50+ to celebrate life, community, and culture. After more than 32 years with the federal government, where I planned national conferences, cultural programs, and special events, and had the honor of leading talented teams and collaborating with partners across agencies, nonprofits, and universities, I am now bringing that experience into this new venture.
Life Lives Here was born from my belief that this season of life should be vibrant, joyful, and deeply connected. My goal is to create events and experiences—whether cabarets, wellness programs, literary workshops, or live music—that uplift, inspire, and remind us that every day holds something meaningful to discover.
“We’re still here, still happy, and still thriving.”
