Good Grief!

Have I mentioned lately how great it is that the Lititz Record Express is online (and RSS-ified) after all these years? Some recent commentary:
While walking home from the linear park this week I nearly collided headlong with a discarded, individually wrapped pat of butter. This innocent little representative of dairy grandeur had been violently […]

According Good Grief’s sophisticated user preference tracking algorithm, readers who enjoy fake art reviews will also enjoy Phreaking Philly’s review of Cart, a popular BYO in Old City:
Cart is a charming, unassuming BYO that offers little in the way of interior design, but bags of potato chips clipped to its industrial-nuevo structure provide a splash […]

Fergies: Becky and Blankbaby
Everyone was at Fergies on Saturday, along with Strolling Luna and her creepy x-ray camera.
True, I wouldn’t mind losing that holiday weight, but I was thinking more like a few inches off the hips. Though I suppose that being transparent has its advantages (such as the ability to render the great […]

Last week’s BR-549 show at the TLA was pretty much what you’d expect from a concert performed by an aging hillbilly band. Much of their material is formulaic, but that’s not so bad if you like the formula. A fun night out, though I wouldn’t follow them around on tour or even buy […]

Last week, Whitebait tagged me for the “meme of four” that’s been going around. It’s a dilemma. As someone who was always picked last for the kickball team, I appreciate getting tagged; however, I’m not big on memes. Therefore, I present a consolidated meme, narrowed down to one question: name […]

Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer contained a story about three advertising agencies that were asked to bring Benjamin Franklin into the 21st century. The first effort, by Gyro Worldwide Advertising, is a sad attempt to highlight Franklin’s “bad-boy side:”
So, if [Franklin] were around today, he’d plow all that cash he made from inventing stuff into his […]

Today’s the big day, when Philadelphia (and the rest of the US?) celebrates the official 300th birthday of Benjamin Franklin. Philly is a Franklin town: we have the Franklin Parkway, the Franklin Institute, Franklin Court, the Underground Franklin Museum, the University of Pennsylvania, and maybe even Ben Station.
As part of the “Philly’s Got […]

Er? On Craigslist it’s April Fool’s Day instead of Friday the 13th: http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/rfs/124999234.html

UPDATE: 700 Club is also for sale! I love how you’re supposed to ask the bartender for information during normal business hours.

northern liberties Philadelphia wtf?

What the hell is going on with the Philadelphia City Paper’s I Love You, I Hate You? I still peruse these reader-submitted rants over cereal, but the section ain’t what it used to be. I’ve said that before, but this time I really, really mean it. Admittedly, I am biased towards the […]
