And contestants of THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION pitched their tents on Fairmount Park's Belmont Plateau. I wonder if the contestants also found out that the adjacent Belmont Mansion was once part of the Underground Railroad (of a somewhat other "amazing race").
Yeah, with the Amazing Race AND Real World Philly now, I'm crossing my fingers that Philadelphia might just be able to attract the next season of "Who Wants To Marry My Dad".
Rita Novel, the Franklin piece really took me back to my earliest days. Back then, I performed a number of similar experiments. Here is one such experiment:
In the first phase, I gently dusted an assortment of bumble bees with a small amount of chalk. I was surprised and delighted when I found that this resulted in the bees leaving faint smudges of chalk on various flower petals. At that point, I felt confident to proceed with the next logical phase of the experiment: placing a few garden-variety caterpillars into a glass jar. I can categorically state that the superimposition of historical monuments onto the glass had no discernable effect on the caterpillars. They continued to scroll about the jar as though they were on a stalk of some sort, or a freakin’ blade ‘o grass. I could have stopped at that point, but I was determined to see this thing through. I placed the jar into a salt solution and took off the lid. The caterpillars were having none of it. They seemed worn out and, frankly, sluggish. No amount of prodding would yield the desired result. How’s that for metabolic reenactment?! Geez, those guys would just not budge.

I think Rita Novel entered the witness protection program. She's like a quondam person now or something. End of reenactment season 2005 too.
Also up in them there parts, 88.5 WXPN's World Cafe. Cafe dining, bar, concerts (just saw Brendan Benson Tuesday), live free music upstairs, bigger shows downstairs. Penn just built it in an old warehouse facility. It's pretty impressive. Shows every night. WXPN also broadcasts from their studios there.
philly.
Hollertronix is great... Illadelph mashup

Philadelphia is the next Seattle.
And like one of my muses Lynda J. Barry, I sold my house there right before the boom in order to move to the midwest.
Crap.
