Apparently, you can die that way.

It’s probably been around since 1999 or something, but we just discovered Phillyweather.net, which is (to say the least) a thorough and studious weather blog that leaves no stone unturned. In a sea of increasingly gimmicky bow ties and donglers, Tom at Phillyweather.net is keeping it oh so dorkily real. Bookmarked!

Joe The Biden appeared at 30th St. Station this morning to put Congress on blast to approve a $53 billion investment in high-speed passenger across the United States. 53 billion, of course, is an insane amount — although, frankly, super smart and totally worth it — but there’s a sentiment out there that old timey [...]

Just one of the mindblowingly “God, how old am I?” clips from Brian Sokel‘s excellent GoKidGo blog, which chronicles Philly’s hardcore ’90s.

So hey: We’re currently working on a post entitled The Ten Angriest Places In Philadelphia. We have a pretty good list going already, but we thought we’d put it to you as well: What are the angriest places in Philadelphia, a city (to put it mildly) that has indeed had anger issues in the past? [...]

In case you haven’t seen it yet, the ride on the #10 love trolley is pretty sweet: flashing red lights, hearts everywhere and R&B get in the mood music playing. Aw. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

Local green energy firm Solar States is currently putting the finishing touches on what it boasts as “Philadelphia’s largest photovoltaic solar array” on the roof of the Crane Arts building in Kensington. All told, they’re putting in 450 solar panels on the Crane’s 20,000 sq. ft. roof, saving the building 20% off regular rates as [...]

Hey, just a heads up: This Thursday, legendary rapper and lifelong Philadelphian Schoolly D will be on Philebrity Radio, our weekly radio show on YRockonXPN/88.5-2 FM HD, from 3-5PM. We’ll be listening to some new and old Schoolly tracks, chatting with the man himself, and making a very special announcement. It’s appointment radio, yo.

Oh snap: Ed Rendell and wife Midge have split. Brain exploding.

Smoke Ring For My Halo, the new album by Kurt Vile, got serviced to press today and so far, it sounds pretty awesome. You can download the track “Jesus Fever” here; otherwise, wait until March 8th, when the record is released. On Wednesday, March 23, KV will also play World Cafe Live, where he’ll be [...]

Please stop by if you’d like to discuss Led Zeppelin. Open most afternoons.

Here it is. Geek friends: Will you design a Whac-A-Mole type game for this? Their website is so 1999, I bet they’d totally put it on there.

Sugarhouse, the very last place you went before you wound up in rehab, jail, or dead, has asked its BFF, the state of Pennsylvania, permission to open up 14 more table games. They’ll make the room, they say, by cutting into the space its nasty-ass frozen foods restaurant is currently taking up. Fun quote: ‘“The [...]

Tony’s Box from Philebrity on Vimeo. Tony Williams, we had no idea you were even considering. Yo, by the way, a package came for you.

We don’t think we’ve mentioned that Sade — our eternal vote for President Of The Universe — is playing at the Wells Fargo Center on Sunday, June 19. And it was just announced this morning that now, Philly’s own John Legend will open the show. Did you buy tickets to this? You are so getting [...]

During last week’s John Train show at Fergie’s, the group had some technical difficulties. While those matters were being tended to, the one and only Fergus Carey grabbed the mic and entertained the crowd with a few jokes. You know, it’s not too late to get this dude running on the Philebrity ticket for Mayor [...]

Hallelujiah! You know, for a minute, the upcoming Mayor’s election was looking so, so boring: Michael Nutter is/was going to win even though it’s debatable whether or not he deserves to, Tom Knox was gonna/might still spread his howdy-doody money and visage all over the place (sad), the Philly GOP was gonna put some poor [...]

Got it? Good. Ok.

Not content to, say, sue the Internet or introduce the most fucktarded bicycle legislation ever, City Councilman Jim Kenney (pictured) is now introducing legislation that would give the Philadelphia Parking Authority legal domain to check whether owners of work vehicles have proper business licenses. Citing any number of fly-by-nighters who may be around, taking work [...]
