Some news: today I make my Philly food writing debut on @phillymag's @foobooz ! Check out my write-up about an incognito pop-up that showed me tea can be every bit as interesting as coffee or wine. https://t.co/0pdhx0ccvR

So far around Philly City Hall I’ve seen everything the city told people not to do: pole climbing, drone flying, fireworks everywhere. Maybe try reverse psychology next time? #SuperBowlLIX #EaglesWin

[Joel Wolfram @joelwolfram]

We have our first pole climber on N Broad

[Joel Wolfram @joelwolfram]

The crowd on N Broad Street right now. No grease on this pole. #SuperBowlLIX #philly

[Joel Wolfram @joelwolfram]

I'm looking to speak with committed Democrats in PA for a story in the @nytimes about last night's debate. Please send leads!

This was a really good, heartbreaking read

One year ago I began talking to an atheist chaplain, Devin Moss, who was giving spiritual care to an atheist man on death row in Oklahoma, named Phillip Hancock. I followed along as they wrestled with the question: How do you face death without God? https://t.co/kpiD9rqe4c

The Delaware River is at moderate flood stage in Philly after a week of heavy rains. It’s almost high tide and the waters are lapping at the edge of Graffiti Pier, an abandoned coal terminal popular with street artists and adventure seekers. Reporting for @nytimes

"I’ve visited the Center City Macy’s many times. To get there, I’ve had to navigate the gauntlet of misery that too often characterizes Philadelphia’s downtown streets."

"Gauntlet of misery" is an apt description of what it's like to walk around Center City right now.

A better headline would have been, Recent Events Imply Escapes Becoming More Common. Yes, there have only been 14 escapes in the past 8 years--but there have already been 6 this year. @SpotlightPA https://t.co/3OUUBsSFS7

The backstory of the Little Rascals question

[Crossing Broad @CrossingBroad]

This is what happens when you let Delco invade the Danelo Cavalcante press conference @mikerainey82

[Joel Wolfram @joelwolfram]

I don't know what gets me more, the question or the matter-of-fact response lol

[Crossing Broad @CrossingBroad]

Dude what a question at the Danelo Cavalcante press conference 😂😂

From the great @mikerainey82

[PA State Police @PAStatePolice]

Search efforts for escapee Danelo Cavalcante continues this morning. There were two confirmed sightings of Cavalcante within the search area yesterday, September 8th. The search area now runs from Conservatory Rd. to State Route 52 and Street Rd. to Longwood Rd.

[Joel Wolfram @joelwolfram]
