So apparently there is some talk going around of the city getting rid of all the rocks along the Delaware river at Penn Treaty Park, in Fishtown, to create a semi-proper beachy-type area. And while I really can’t imagine anyone wanting to swim in that nasty-ass water; OR the...

So I’m kinda obsessed with Rihanna‘s new song and video for “Rude Boy.” (If you haven’t seen the video yet, you won’t understand.) And I’ve been hearing and seeing it so much, I seriously hear it at least once a day blasting for some young lady’s cell phone. I guess...

The Comcast Center 3-D Holiday Spectacular (which didn’t really seem like it really was 3-D at all… most of the people watching just took off their 3-D glasses halfway through), was at the very least completely fascinating to watch on that huge screen, but at the very best just something free...

I’ve been seeing him there every night for weeks now. Not much during the day though… I wonder what his story is. I could be wrong, but his stuff all looks kinda new, like being homeless is a fresh step for him. I wonder what happened. 🙁 TTLY, Conrad...

The Philly bike messenger who was injured by a motorist in a hit-and-run Thanksgiving morning, Rachel Fletcher, was highlighted on Fox29 last night.

The speech Senator Diane J. Savino gave, preceding the vote on Marriage Equality in Albany, NY yesterday, sums up America’s current Civil Rights movement beautifully… Damn. 8 votes. 8 votes and Gay and Lesbian couples are still 2nd class citizens in a state that is usually a leader in Civil Rights....

This video, this song, right now… It’s making sense to me. I more or less love it. I say that only because I feel like I could just as easily hate it tomorrow, and love it again the next day. Some shit’s funny like that, no? The...

As I talked about in a recent post, N.J. has a very small but very direct window of oprotuniy to grant gay couples equal civil marriage rights. Today Mark Segal, the publisher of PGN (Phiadelphia Gay News), wrote Gov. Corzine an open letter… Dear Gov. Corzine: I hope you don’t...
