Philebrity takes us back in time and into God-knows-where! The 700 Level is taking on the freakin' Eagles haters just in time for the season opener this Sunday! The Lunch Counter thought SarPal's speech was pretty terrific. Attytood did not. Speaking of SarPal, Philadelphia Will Do had some issues with Broad Street Reviews' article on Bristol Palin's (aka BritPal) unborn child. SEPTA Watch has some good news: SEPTA is actually making improvements! We just hope......

We bring you the buzz in the 215 blogs this week. Philebrity pondered the meta nature of blogs and social networking while enjoying publicist Paige Wolf's performance of her song Online Social Network. Ooh, does this mean we're even more meta? Is that possible? Brooke Hogan sets women back 100 years. So says NightlifeGay, and we're inclined to agree... except who really listens to Brooke Hogan anyway? It's all about the Olympics at A List......

The Philadelphia Turkey lauded the Parkway-crossing antics of a local resident. Brave, or crazy? You decide. Philebrity wondered whether PostGreen was really meant for the Second Life real estate market. So that begs the question: does the sub-prime mortgage crisis exist in cyberlife? Katie at Based on Real Life checked out First Person Arts at L'Etage. Based on her writing, we expect to see her on stage at one of these soon. Jen, of Down......

When skateboarding was banned from Love Park... it didn't really change much. Walking through the other day, we caught a couple of guys on boards jumping off one of the high planters, and wondered if they knew about the ban (a surprising number of people don't, but a bigger number just don't care), or about the very cool Paine's Park Project. The Paine's Park Project is a 2.5-acre skatepark, originally commissioned by Mayor Street......

We bring you the buzz in the 215 blogs this week. Philebrity wondered about the govenrnment's plan to put speed bump decals around town. Fake speed bumps? People don't even slow down for the real ones. Next thing you know, they'll be putting paintings of cops in high-crime areas. A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago has a summer cocktail series going on. Summer and cocktails: two things we love. Cheers! Philly Burbs was......

We bring you the buzz in the 215 blogs this week. Philebrity found fault with local columnist/DJ/man-about-town A.D. Amorosi's grammar and punctuation skills. For the record, this Phillyist is horrified, too. No more privately-owned cars on our potholed streets? Philadelphia Will Do isn't so sure about that. We're as flummoxed as Phillybits about the whole feminist terrorist thing. And who knew raising kids was a form of jihad? That sort of takes the whole concept......

We bring you the buzz from the 215 blogs this week. Philly Gossip noted that Parker Posey, in town shooting a film with Demi Moore, stopped by our friend Dan's shop, Wilbur Vintage in The Antiquarian. Dan gave Parker's fluffball of a dog some chewing gum. Awww... This reminds us of a cartoon in which a dog swallowed gum and, um, blew a bubble out the other end. No word from Dan on whether this......

Philebrity applauded the installation of solar panels at the Philadelphia Naval Yard while simultaneously making fun of Naval Yard denizen Urban Outfitters. Maybe next we'll get some windmills. We know of a few places to put them where there's plenty of hot air being blown about. Geeky Mom pondered why nice people finish last, while pointing out the glaring discrepancies in how local students purport to think and how they actually act. Slacktivist made an......

We bring you the buzz from the 215 blogs this week: Philebrity was as annoyed as we are with Philadelphia Gay News publisher Mark Segal's daily "one question for Obama" emails—especially since there is NO QUESTION MARK in the email. Oh... no question, Mark... no pun intended. Heh. The Philadelphia Turkey wrote about the battle for control of shrubbery at the Delaware Avenue casinos. The satire stars DiCicco and Nutter in the modern day version......

What happened this week in the City of Bloggerly Love... Philebrity clued us in on where to go to find out what a hipster is. There's actually a whole seminar about them. Better sign up soon as we're sure this one will be filled to capacity with scholars trying to unravel the mysteries of shaggy hair and ironic t-shirts. Jim Rutter at Broad Street Review thought fallen NY governor Eliot Spitzer could take some pointers......

The new writers just keep on coming – this time, in the form of Stephanie Mannis, a chronic Yelper who won us over when she sent us a bit of marketing collateral she wrote for work about an American answer to the Beatles. Welcome aboard, Stephanie! Here's the buzz in the 215 blogs this week: Jeff Deeney over at Phawker sang the praises of author Susan Jacoby, who in turn railed against the dumbing down......
