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.

Went rooting around the Philadelphia Flower Show to bring you this list of not-to-miss sights this year.

I still talk about our visit to LOL to this day and we keep a postcard of it on our fridge. I mean look at how happy I am in that photo below feeding tiny horses. That doesn't happen everyday 2/2
NOOOoooOO and neeEIGHghhh!!! The Land of Little Horses has closed! It was one of the weirdest and most magical places in all of PA, totally homespun and filled with miniature animals of all sorts. 1/2

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.
That's one I've never been to, thanks!
Stopped into The Trestle Inn for the first time in years after a show an Underground Arts last week. I feel like I will never be cool enough for this bar, but I always feel cool when I’m in it.
What other Philly bars have similar vibes?
There have been several days recently the Philadelphia Police Department sent out a morning message like this and let me tell you, we all feel those exclamation points, officer!!!
Say what you will about the snow, but like an Eagles game, it keeps the city relatively quiet.
Can confirm. Fidel spoke to myself and 600 classmates from Semester at Sea in Cuba in 2004 for four straight hours without sitting down or taking a drink of water once. It was wild.
Who would you like to be or who do you consider the voice of Philly? Not just sportscasters or broadcasters (though they could be) but someone whose voice you would want to convey messages to the people of Philadelphia.
And does the Philly accent factor into your choice?
Big shout out to @neilpbardhan.bsky.social whose wonderful suggestion on here yesterday I added to my list under the subhead "Snowstalgia."
Wrote about things I've noticed that are constants during a snowstorm in Philly, so obviously not SEPTA.

Only in Philly would a marijuana advocate who once asked me if he could light up a joint on Independence Mall for a photo shoot go on to lead the kitchen at a new Irish pub.
We care truly a city of pipe dreams. I love it here.

A powerful story about one man's powerful work from my colleagues Michelle Myers and Jeff Gammage.

Finally watching "The Pitt" and there's a fist fight between two moms in the ER waiting room at one point and the head nurse breaks them up saying "This is not Philly!"
You're right m'am, it is not. A Philly nurse would have let them finish the fight.
What's something predictable that happens in Philly during a snowstorm?
I'm thinking savesies, seeing a dude in shorts shoveling, sledding down the Art Museum steps...
If @farfarraway.bsky.social’s Delco sensor is going off this morning, it’s because a Delco native is about to play for an Olympic medal in women’s curling:

Love it! Fantastic lede! 😂
They are putting the exhibits back up about the people George Washington enslaved at the President’s House site at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia and someone is playing “Fight the Power” and “Celebration.” It feels like such a relief to see humanity, history & sanity prevail.
