And here, we thought that was our job. At any rate, tempers are flaring over an entry in PW’s “Better Than Best” issue that outs what PW purports to be the “Best Place to Embrace Punch-Drunk Love” in the city. Wonh-wahh: It’s a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, held each week at the South Philly Circle Of [...]

NBCPhiladelphia says we’ve dodged the bullet. But KYW says it’s gonna be a “siege.” Meanwhile, “Oh Sno You Didn’t!” is coming in at 51% (116 votes). It’s all very scientific, you see.

For about two years now, there has been serious talk of a Philadelphia Bike Share Program, modeled on a series of successful bike sharing systems in Europe. All along, there has been consistent debate about its viability here in Philly, but without a lot of research into it, it was all just talk. Until today. [...]

To most observers, the violence that erupted at South Philadelphia High School back in December — wherein a large group of African-American students attacked Asian students, seemingly at random — wasn’t necessarily a new thing, just a more fierce iteration of a pattern that had been established for some time.

The Believer sat down for an interview with Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim recently for a sensible conversation, which is actually uncommon for the Philadelphia ex-pats, who rarely take themselves seriously long enough to provide a critical look at their absurdist style of comedy. It’s about time; as their influence slowly trickles into mainstream comedy, [...]

Rather than a sketchy inside job as some speculated, it turns out that the fire at Gamble & Huff‘s lengendary HQ was in fact caused by some guy who got piss drunk — AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY LEGLESS, MAN — and wandered into the studio looking for a place to sleep. Instead, he set the [...]

We’ve never made any secret of our feelings about the popular user-generated-review site Yelp: It sucks. It’s basically a breeding ground for misinformed, know-it-all complainotards whose inclusion in the Yelp Elite is a mask for deep-seated overcompensation for things that happened long ago, on playgrounds and in locker rooms after gym class. (Kind of like [...]

That said, we will take the memo: Off to the likker store! Also, we’re fucked.

You may remember Philly’s own Gail Kasper (pictured) from that time she went over to Iraq, where her basic response to our young American soldiers making the ultimate sacrifice was Guyssssssss, don’t you think I’m HOTTT!!??

Being a toll collector has to take a certain type of personality. Sitting in a tiny roadside booth and dealing with random travelers who, by definition, have better things to do has to wear on a person.
