Philly expat Priscilla Ahn is the latest signing to the legendary Blue Note label and was mentored by that guy you will love if you like Bob Dylan.

Nothing really says “I take my political career very, very seriously” like willful inclusion in the Daily News‘ annual Sexy Singles promotion. (And yes, we’re thinking what you’re thinking: Between this and the other thing, these really are proud days at The People Paper. Come back, Zach Stalberg! We need you now more than ever!) [...]

Forbes: Bubbles Burstin’, But Buying In Billadelphia Can’t Be Beat!

I mean, just look at her. She looks like the President already! (And, if we’re going to play this game, if W. and Cheney would just resign already, she would be. Stranger things have happened, right? No, they haven’t? OK, it was worth a shot.) But the fact of the matter is this: We didn’t [...]
