We know we already did the “this was totally cool” reminiscing post on this already, but today it was announced that the new Mounted Police Unit’s horse stables will be in Fairmount Park. According to Newsworks, the city will try to raise funds for the $1.2 million build with the hilariously punny “Pony Up for [...]

Gigantic domino runs weirdly intrigue us. We’re not sure why, the the idea of a long, arduous, painstaking hours-long process leading to a planned destruction that takes mere seconds piques our interest. This coming Sunday, Perkasie’s Domino Bros. will be setting up a 10,000 piece domino run for Penn Museum‘s Travel the World with Games [...]

All through the ramp-up to last weekend’s big World Cafe 20th Anniversary shows, a “special guest” had been promised.

Every once in a while, a website will come along that steals our heart to such a high-degree that we can’t even believe it actually exists. The Philly.comments tumblr is so amazing that on top of being in love with it, we really can’t believe we never thought of it. The completely out of context [...]

The good people over at the Spirits of ’76 Ghost Tour did some paranormal investigations just in time for Halloween at Old Pine Street Church and Cemetery and Old St. Mary’s Church and Cemetery to “enhance and verify the ghost stories featured on [their] tour.” Well, whether you believe in ghosts or not, it’s nice [...]

The whole Larry Mendte vs. Alycia Lane thing has been stewing for a few years (quick synopsis: Alycia Lane and everyone else says Larry Mendte hacked her email, Larry Mendte claims Lane couldn’t resist his sexuality), but the court case is finally going to happen, and it will be a home game. According to The [...]

Oh hey, we’re going to try doing a Daily Poll each morning now, wherein we ask you, the people of Philadelphia, random things about your life here, and on Earth. Got a question you want to see the people answer? Suggest it at: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

FRIDAY: >>>Union Transfer is hosting what may be the most interesting lineup of the weekend: Japanese experimental band Boris, the shoegazey Asobi Seksu, and Brooklyn black-metal band Liturgy.

This weekend, The 20th Anniversary Philadelphia Film Festival rages on. We’ve been lucky enough to catch a handful of screenings this week, and just like we suspected, this year’s Fest has been extremely well selected. But as most of the screenings in our earlier preview have already passed, we figured we’d pony up another round [...]

God, we hope so. From Philly’s own Bird Text Comedy Show, first Tuesday of every month at Helium.

Finally, someone feels the way about Wawa that we do. More from the mind of Brady Russell at Eat The Babies.

It seems that when Bradley Cooper signs on for a film, he has two stipulations: it must film in the Philly area, and Robert DeNiro must be in it. The Jenkintown native is all over Delco right now (and we do mean all over: Upper Darby, Drexel Hill, Swarthmore, Ridley Park, etc.) filming David O. [...]
