Spidey-Crow

Nothing says “autumn” like the Spiderman Scarecrow that shows up every year here in Center City. Each year, someone goes to all of the trouble to put this scarecrow up – his wardrobe changes from year to year, but the Spiderman head is a staple. Spidey is a little worse for wear this time around.…

Hair of the Dog (Bar)

When it’s hot outside, sometimes it just makes sense to relax at a bar.  Not all bars are inside, however… I present to you… THE DOG BAR Way too damn hot here in Philadelphia, and this humidity is driving me crazy.  I want to go for my long walks, and kind of refuse to do…
