I, Joey Sweeney, promise you and yours both real-deal grog and sweet long-hair jams on the new downstairs bar speakers, which rule hard, all night long.

This is the new attention-grabber from PETA, and well, whatever your gripe is with this, at least it’s not a bunch of women saying they’d be okay with having Chris Brown beat them up. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

Afterparty at the Trestle Inn, yo. The Radio Times Facebook page informs us that today is the birthday of WHYY’s Marty Moss-Coane, Terry Gross and Dave Davies. Here’s Marty and Terry blowing out the candles (we can only assume Dave was on a beer/weed run). And though we occasionally rib any one of these folks, [...]

More than cheesesteaks or pretzels or any of that other crap, Philadelphians have an attachment to the word “Yo” that borders somewhere between the genetic and the pathological. You can train yourself out of your Margaret-Orthodox manner of speaking, you can scrub your vocab of any number of Philadelphian tics, but “Yo” is all but [...]

Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen‘s Portlandia is now in its second season of revering and skewering hipster-culture, and they’re bringing the first Portlandia Tour to the Troc this Sunday. The show will feature clips of season 2, live music performances, discussions about the creation of the show, and more. The early show sold out very [...]

The day is finally upon us. Today at 3PM on Fox29, Karen Brown will face off with Judge Judy and her former cammpaign treasurer Stuart London. We really enjoyed what we saw the last time Karen Brown was in front of a camera, so we were pretty excited about this. However, we won’t get to [...]

This just in from a reader on the scene: Not making this up: “Teamsters for Journalistic Integrity” are protesting outside the Inky building. One sign: “They Don’t Call Him Fast Eddie for nothing.” Tell you what: If they put the giant inflatable rat out there, it could become a more popular destination than the Rocky [...]

Last year, when the whole Occupy thing was in full swing, retired Philadelphia Police Captain Ray Lewis (above) was arrested at Occupy Wall Street, and we quietly wondered what the higher-ups at the PPD thought of this, and wondered if they could (and would) do anything about it, if they so chose. As it turns [...]

Yesterday, Lazard released their 48-page study into whether the sale of PGW would be a viable option for the City of Philadelphia. Mayor Nutter looked at what Lazar found and promptly slapped a “For Sale” sign right on PGW, but what could the sale make for the city? According to Bloomberg, Lazard valued PGW at [...]
