At Tony Packo’s in Toledo: A hot dog bun signed by Dan Fogelberg

Finally a shuttle service from Toledo to DTW! This is awesome!

Taking bets on which neighbors are going to obliviously put out their trash tomorrow and then complain about it for 10 years

Thanks for the wonderful alt text!

The quest this week is for a non-Internet-enabled e-reader, that you can load off a laptop or a USB, for a friend to take to rehab. One depressing learning: prisoners, who also need an e-reader like this, have to rent one from a vendor for more money than any of them make

We’ve been on the corner of seventh and market watching people go by for 40 minutes, nonstop

Extremely weird that there are no news helicopters overhead at this Philly march, which is massive #HandsOff

My phone is my pet and my dog is my job.

Ugh, no, I stand corrected. Deleted.

Destroy Build Destroy!

Great story! I’m a proud backer of this film, and your analysis reminds me of why it is going to be amazing.

I hope that right now 30 different people are writing a film script about what it was like to travel home from the Eagles parade yesterday.

Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.

Also: who will write the definitive history of MacAdam/Cage, the small publisher that punched way above its weight

One of the greats. So happy to see this reissue!

Market East doesn’t need the Sixers arena to make a comeback With the right kind of planning, the east side of Center City could turn itself into a modern, mixed-use neighborhood.

It’s not just Philadelphia’s Market Street that needs help, it’s the whole east side of Center City. Here are some ideas to get it going: www.inquirer.com/columnists/m...

I am waiting hopefully for the shot-for-shot rebuttal of A Complete Unknown.

Rolling Stone Record Guide, 1st page of the index to artists in the first edition. Includes artists such as Frankie Avalon, Brownsville Station, George Clinton!, Ginger Baker. And many others much more obscure
