I wrote for @phillymag about how the old golf course at FDR Park became an indispensable natural refuge for South Philly during the pandemic, and the question of what could (and should) happen next at the space. https://t.co/NbIPpMwNjR

@IcyVert When Thomson took over, he showed confidence in the "daycare" kids and they performed. But eventually, all three became defined by the idea that they weren't impact players (Bohm) or everyday players (Stott, Marsh). Under Mattingly, those notions seem to have slipped away.

Visited Transport Cycles in South Philly on our Great American Getaway RV Tour and found the bike for me: the GSD!

My Administration has a GSD attitude — just like Simon, his team, and so many small businesses across Pennsylvania.

We first documented Justin Tyner’s stained glass street art in the summer of 2013, in an article written by now-Editor of @phillymag, @brianghoward!

In the 11 years since, Justin’s career and practice have grown in beautiful and unexpected ways: https://t.co/71zz9LMQ3F

In 2013 I mapped a Rocky II running montage—31 miles. That day @rebthebarber began turning it into an annual 50K run. Recently Brooks and others ripped her off and presented it as their own idea. I wrote about her run and what it means to us, and others. https://t.co/hfur8vO1J1

Last fall we had an idea to try and see how the apps, covid, and [gestures broadly] everything else have changed dating in Philly. Eight months later, we have some very complicated, very sexy answers.

I learned lots of weird things editing this. https://t.co/8tswXgKkhP

.@PeopleforParker poses with her former Democratic mayoral opponents at her unity breakfast in West Philly right now.

[Philly Mag @phillymag]

She took over at perhaps the worst time to be in charge of Visit Philly. Fortunately for us — and for the city’s all-important tourism economy — this is the moment she’s spent her whole career preparing for. https://t.co/FwglATKTb6

Cherelle Parker is the projected winner in the Democratic primary for Philadelphia mayor, setting up her likely ascendency to the office following the November general election. Here's what she told us about her plans:

It was an honor to interview Joanna McClinton, the first woman elected Pennsylvania Speaker of the House. We talked about the Bible, Beyonce, the Big Lie and lots more... https://t.co/m4wXnMeXNQ via @phillymag @Joanna4PA #philly

The Sixers pulled it out in overtime! The refs reviewed it, but the crowd knew right away. Back to Boston we go!

I was asked recently to think about some of my favorite records over the last several decades so I spent some time doinking around my collection/memory. Am right now remembering how absolutely devastating @wolfparade's Apologies to the Queen Mary is. https://t.co/FS1oodwP2k

In retrospect, there was just no way the 2022 Phillies weren’t going to take up your weekend one final time with their trademark brand of who even fucking knows
