Rumblings: Why Does It Suddenly Feel Like 1980 In Philly Again?
>>> Earth to whoever’s in charge of making The Gallery and its surrounding environs not even more of a hot mess than it is already: Wish as you may, you’re not only not getting a Nordstrom’s, you’ll also have to worry about people getting shot in the elevators of that cool new Strawbridge’s/Family Court thing God just shat out at 8th & Market. So, uh, good luck. [TheIlladelph/ChangingSkyline]
>>> Those three new City Council people get sworn in, just in time to start running for re-election. [DN]
>>> And are you there, God? It’s me, Philebrity. Question: Why do rapists always look like E.T. in their earliest sketches? We kid, but please be careful out there, ladies. [NBC10]
BONUS ROUND: Quite possibly the worst NYT Philly tourism piece yet. [NYT]

I was a bit surprised to see John’s Roast Pork on there. Great sandwhich, but in the middle of nowhere for a tourist.

Bartram’s Garden is a national botanical treasure, bitches. Franklinia trees rule my world.

PERSPECTIVE JOEY. that travel piece is fine, but you hate it cuz it mentions World Cafe Live and that will never do. It’s also for a slightly less insular set of travellers than the Philebrity travel guide would be. There ya go that’s a good idea, the Philebrity travel guide to 36 hours in Philadelphia! get on it.

Considering I bear a close resemblance to E.T., I find it decidedly inconvenient that these sketches do in fact look that way. Besides, the Dreamscape alien look is so yesterday. Any worthwhile rapist out there’ll tell you it’s early unibomber or bust - dark hoodie, Ambervision glasses, porn mustache. If you can’t pull it off, take your DNA and go home.

consider me officially on the lookout for a gentleman whose right side of face is wider than the left.
