The cheapest ad space in Philly may be one of the city's most recognizable landmarks.

Once again, the city is selling out space at the Philadelphia Museum of Art for a promotion - and it only cost Universal $44,000 for the three-day activation.

Kambel Smith - who views his autism as a superhuman ability that allows him to see scales without using any tools or devices - continues to push the bounds of what cardboard is capable of as a medium and what we are capable of as human beings.

Being a tourist in your own city sometimes involves admitting you've ignored experiences hiding in plain sight - like touring Philadelphia City Hall.

Last Friday, I finally crossed it off my Philly bucket list and was gobsmacked by all I've overlooked.

In two years, Jaclyn Rodriguez - aka 'The Officiant Jawn' - has conducted 238 weddings in the Philly area. I talked with her about the most memorable moments, what she's learned about love & why she's recently seen an uptick in demand for her services.

Portapotty Kingdom has been built

[Stephanie Farr @FarFarrAway]

That’s because we know what tough times are and what gets you through them, just like we know to celebrate the good times when they’re here too.

Go Birds

I worried the fire would overshadow the joy I saw in the hours before.

And then, Philly did its thing.

Someone in a Batman mask wearing a bedsheet for a cape calmly walked by me through the smoke like it was just another day in Gotham City. 🧵

[Stephanie Farr @FarFarrAway]

Shortly after, a woman who also witnessed the fire started chatting with me.

“I ain’t gonna lie, that sh— was warm though,” she said.

I cracked up. Nobody does gallows humor better than Philly, just like nobody celebrates quite like we do.

@erinarvedlund I love it! Thanks for sharing. Go birds.

[Stephanie Farr @FarFarrAway]

The Main Line was a question on Jeopardy last night and the School District of Philadelphia had a commercial during Abbott Elementary. Go Birds.

I wrote about what it's like to cover Philly sports fan and their celebrations in the city, from the Birds' 2018 & 2025 Super Bowl wins to Phillies' NLCS championships and Eagles' NFC wins.
