The Ministry of Awe opens this weekend in Philly and interest rates are sky high. You already have an account there (we all do) so it’s time to bank on being awed.
My colleague and I spent three hours exploring the space yesterday and I could have spent three more.
I am feeling personally targeted and attacked by this AstraZeneca cancer-screening PSA featuring my teen crush and my adult crush.
I'm also gonna need this photo on the cover of Tiger Beat magazine so I can hang it in my room.

Took my car on a boat trip today. 10/10 would recommend.
I've got a long drive ahead of me for work today. What are some of your favorite sunny day, windows down, road trip albums?
If you know someone in the Philly region who you think should be profiled, please feel free to nominate them here or via email to me at sfarr@inquirer.com
Meet George Wright, 86, who's been a kosher baker for 70 years and has no plans of leavening anytime soon.
He's the latest installment in my occasional, ongoing profile series called We the People, about the people who make Philly extraordinary.

Haha! That's awesome. Thank you for reading!
ICYMI over the weekend, I looked into why some of Philadelphia's Audible Pedestrian Signal systems at city crosswalks come wit the Philly accent.

Hahaha! I believe it.
Thank you so much! I love writing about Philadelphians. They're some of my favorite people. 😊
I didn't know it when I went to interview him, but George Wright found his first baking job in Philly through a want ad in The Inquirer.
Now, I get to tell the story of his 70-year kosher baking career in the Inquirer.

Me too! I loved Zoe’s story featuring you and Melissa last weekend!
In my latest column, I dig into why Philadelphia's crosswalk audio announcements come wit the Philly accent.
“There’s not been a single person I’ve talked to that’s like ‘Oh yeah, that makes complete sense,’” said the reader who tipped me off.

Doing my first big LEGO build and I f’ed up and had to tear stuff up in order to rebuild.
I was frustrated and in the depths of my rage my husband, a huge LEGO fan, said: “See there are more lessons here than just LEGOs.”
He may not be wrong but he may also get a brick in the face.
This is a very good one!
Oh that is lovely! I've never been in but will have to go sometime now.
Exterior and interior!
Oh yes, 100%!
This view and staircase never gets old. I think it even rivals looking down the staircase at City Hall.
What are some other fantastic staircases in Philly?
👏
Alright, which one of you did this to my Wawa gas pump? 😑
I am flushed with pride that somebody featured in one of my Philly Phlush stories bought a high-quality print of the story from our website, got a nice frame for it, and hung it in their bathroom.
Folks, urine in luck because I will be taking all of your puns about this today. Pees and thank you.
Feeling cute, might use 'mellifluous' in a column like I'm an academic or romance novelist.
Me: “Push the crosswalk button please hun.”
Husband: “That is not a crosswalk button. It is a googly eye.”
Well played, Philly. Well played.

I'll have to hunt down that show! Thanks!
Not in cages, but there was a young woman dancing on the end of the bar in a cute little outfit that looked straight out of Austin Powers.
