Dear Philebrity, After yet another frustrating drive into work, straight shot down 5th Street from Northern Liberties into the burbs, I would like to respectfully submit a smart driving tip for all Philadelphians: use your motherfucking turn signal. Turn Signal! Feel free to post or use as a catalyst for some scathing social critique via [...]

Ugh. You probably don’t know who Gail Kasper is, because you don’t pay attention to the Daily News‘ Sexy Singles (which she won), watch the Philadelphia Visitors Channel (where she’s a hostess), and, perhaps most of all, it’s been a while since you’ve had the need (or disposable income) to hire a “Professional Speaker and [...]

West Philly’s University City District just proudly announced the installation of 71 new street lights along Baltimore Avenue from 45th to 50th Streets: A stretch of the Avenue that has, in recent years, been a focal point for community revitalization in that part of town. Throwing a little light on the subject is always a [...]

Says our reader: “I love this sign that was all around G-Ho a few weeks ago. He’s not house broken? Does he play dead when startled too? Answers to Bighty.” Sigh. Cats. They really are the worst people in the world. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

Music critic for the City Paper, the Philadelphia Inquirer and a contributor for every major music publication in the country – a.d. has been the “voice” of the Philly music scene for close to two decades.

>>> Do you like Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head (see video above), or would you like to rip off their neon-clad arms and beat them with them? We could see making the case for either. In any event, you’ve got two weeks to decide, as they do a semi-residency at the North Star Bar tonight, and [...]

You people are really delivering in this whole Always Sunny stalking alert thing. Thanks so much. Photos via Flickr user jonprc.

To the owners of Chill Lounge: This letter is an open invitation for you to open a satellite location of Chill Lounge here in our fair city of Philadelphia. By attracting 50% of all Reading, PA, television celebrities to your fine establishment (and surely on your way to attracting his wife, Kate, as well), you [...]

We’ve been trying to get to the bottom of this post on Wonkette yesterday proclaiming that Philadelphia Women’s Center was providing free abortions in honor of slain practitioner Dr. George Tiller. That, of course, led us to the rumor’s source, IAmDrTiller.com, who tweeted the news. We rang up the Philadelphia Women’s Center for info and [...]

The Philadelphia Department of Records has created a new website, Philly LandStat, for Philly residents’ collective infotainment. Though it might seem dull, even borderline tedious, the fun side of Philly Landstat begins to reveal itself once you realize that you can use it to generate informative reports and maps about property use city-wide, leading to [...]

We were totally there for this.

That was the day we realized that there was this incredibly benevolent force that wants you to know that Philly might actually just straight up ban plastic bags in 2011.

Devito: “Pffft! It’s not REAL BEER!?!?!” My God, I swear, it’s like these Always Sunny people have come from an alternate universe to save us and tell us that we’re not crazy, the world is crazy. Full clip after the jump.

Comcast, the company Philadelphians love to hate (unless they work for them, in which case, it’s still 50/50) is having an ol’ bitch of a time shaking its rep as unfeeling giants who don’t give a shit about you, only your money. In the second annual MSN Money-Zogby International Poll to establish “The Customer Service [...]

>>> Local patriots, meaty husband-hunters and gay men alike have reason to rejoice today: It’s just been announced that Philly has signed on to host the annual Army/Navy Football Game five of eight games through 2017 (2009 is already locked down here). The years will be 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017, and the city [...]

So sweet. Thanks everybody who’s responded to our call for Always Sunny locations and doings. Above, Phileb reader Nick Money mugs with Dee for the iPhone. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

>>> You know how stereotypes are sometimes really painful because, shit, they’re true? This is one of those: Every person you’ve ever self-consciously called a “hipster” and every person who’s ever been self-consciously called a “hipster” loves the work of Adrian Tomine (whose work is pictured above) like it was the light of the sun.
