Is Seven Weeks Long Enough To Kill Off Philly’s Most Milquetoast Chain Blog?
Now, look: We know that, in the summer, the news/entertainment cycle in Philly has a tendency to slow to a primal crawl — we generally battle it with posts about theater nerds, bikes, bands and, if it gets bad enough, the Tour de France — but this is a little bit ridiculous:
And so after five years of regular posting, Phillyist is going to pretend we’re back in college this summer. As of 5:00 this afternoon, Phillyist is going on summer vacation. That’s right, folks: unless something totally earth-shattering happens over the next seven weeks, it will be all quiet on the Phillyist front.
Before you ask: Yes, we’re jealous. God, what we could “do” with seven weeks off. (We could kill Philebrity forever!) On the other hand, when you add up how late Sweeney usually is getting the first posts out here each day, it probably adds up to seven weeks per month anyway. Nevertheless, Philebrity will not be going on vacation anytime soon. And much like that Huey Lewis character, we’re happy to be stuck with you.
