We speak specifically of The Flying W Pool, which you will begin organizing a road trip to right now on the friends’ email list that has been for too long dominated by wedding and baby preparations (these things are great, but they’re not SWIMMING), and Weber’s Drive-In, where you will stop on the way and [...]

According to The Hill, Pennsylvania Representative Mike Fitzpatrick (R-8th Congressional District) was one of the 13 lawmakers who received $5,000 campaign donations from former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin. And according to those who received the donations, they kinda just showed up. It seems that Palin (or more likely, someone who works for her) just [...]

The Philadelphia Belle, which went out of business without warning earlier this summer, has started paying back a few of the people who had paid money to reserve events on the boat.

These photos were just snapped by Sherreiff McCrae, a 22 year-old who does video and photography work at the Village of Arts and Humanities. The fire in North Philly that we’ve been following this morning is at the abandoned (for at least 10 years) Julia de Burgos magnet bi-lingual middle school. It was a gorgeous [...]

See another photo here. (Cities burning in Instagram-related content.) And another here. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone [...]
