@JasonNark @Garrett_A_Hogan @nytimes I did get a decent latte in Loup City, Nebraska, and a pup cup for my dog. But between towns (or villages) there's...grass. And cattle.

[Dr. Melissa J. Homestead @ProfHomestead]

@svershbow @RiversideParkNY The dog, however, looks dubious.

@brannoningram Why do *articles* ever use endnotes rather than footnotes? Actually, the worst is an edited collection with all the notes for every essay at the end of the volume.

@ProfDuff @RdgTerminalMkt Stick a knife into my heart--there is no way to choose between these two sublime food products.

@jongeeting From what I'm reading about the whole Silverliner mess, I probably rode in one of those cars from the Lehigh Valley to Philly with my Girl Scout troop in the mid 1970s to see the Liberty Bell.

@CharlotteERosen @melnickjeffrey1 Have you checked your undergrad institution on alumni access? You might be surprised. My undergrad alma mater, Smith College, provides JSTOR access for alums, e.g. Also happens to be one of those places that designates people as visiting researchers for access to e-resources.

@dieworkwear Or if you wear one, people are confused when you call it a sport coat.

[Dr. Melissa J. Homestead @ProfHomestead]

@ProfDuff Hey, whenever I tell people who are visiting Philly they should go to PAFA, they are confused, like they think I'm talking about PMA. You should puff PAFA, especially their 19th-century collections in that glorious 19th century confection of a building.

[Dr. Melissa J. Homestead @ProfHomestead]

@hunterplummer Yeah, it's grim out there.

[Dr. Melissa J. Homestead @ProfHomestead]

@vjoshuaadams It leads grad school applicants in the wrong direction. I tell students to think of it more as an intellectual autobiography.

[Dr. Melissa J. Homestead @ProfHomestead]

@JackPhillyRE Lived a block away from that building 40 years ago. Glad to hear it won't be taken down.

@melnickjeffrey1 Mine does no longer attempts to correct certain frequently used obscenities.

@jongeeting So are Silverliner IV trains the standard on most lines? Haven't lived in the region since the late 90s but am moving back soon. I remember the Main Line (R5) trains being different from the then R3 I rode.

[Dr. Melissa J. Homestead @ProfHomestead]

@ProfDuff Oh, man, Beiler's Donuts are the best. I can't believe I only discovered them on my 2023 trip to Philly. They leave Federal Donuts in the dust, IMHO.

[Dr. Melissa J. Homestead @ProfHomestead]

@ProfDuff People are very confused out here in Nebraska when I wear my Reading Terminal T-shirt with the bronze pig on it.

[Dr. Melissa J. Homestead @ProfHomestead]

@JamesPhl96 Still the best city even with clouds.

[Dr. Melissa J. Homestead @ProfHomestead]

@AbbyHasIssues I used to fantasize about something to be called "Small Cheap House Magazine"

[Dr. Melissa J. Homestead @ProfHomestead]

@offbeatorbit Good percale sheets last forever. I have 25 year old sheets.

[Dr. Melissa J. Homestead @ProfHomestead]

@dieworkwear Well the Oracle of Omaha does live in Omaha.
