Good Grief!

Good news on the Market Report scene. Mr. Klein graciously granted permission to post his column here, even offering to e-mail the copy. But there’s also some bad news. In the first Market Report post, I introduced the Art Museum Area Home News as a true alternative paper, admittedly using a tongue-in-cheek tone. […]

It’s mid-May and thus the beginning of “harass the produce guy” season. I like to harass a specific produce guy, a man from Lancaster County who travels to Philadelphia’s Reading Terminal Market on Saturdays.
To be a successful produce guy harasser, you must have a goal—in my case, gathering intelligence about the year’s strawberry crop. […]

The latest pager revenge scheme! The first scheme—abusing the pager—is still in effect. However, one must always think long-term. The new plan is a little geeky; at the risk of sounding like one of the dreaded propeller-heads, here it is. As I said in a comment last week, the idea is […]
