STREET Presents: Unpopped

Shoutout season is upon us, so inhale the sweet, sweet smell of revenge. Lowbrow airs your grievances and tells you exactly who shit the bed, literally and figuratively. But never fear, the rest of the issue has so much more than ads you can use to wipe your tears. Whether you’re a nostalgic senior or a lowly freshman, Highbrow gives you the chance to score a highly coveted Round Up Superlative. Hey, at least they don’t use your yearbook picture! If that’s not enough to get you in the mood for a vacation, Ego helps you choose your own summer adventure (spoiler: that’s not code for a Goldman internship), Music goes cross country to scope out the best festivals, and Food and Drink pick out the best chilly snacks around Philly that are sure to keep you cool. If you’d rather beat the heat inside an air–conditioned theatre, well that just sucks. Film explains why. And in honor of Throwback Thursday (if you’re into that, no judgement) Art goes back in time to the best of Penn poets past. Finally, this week’s feature tackles abstinence (or lackthereof) by choice (or lackthereof) at Penn. Oh, and robots are taking over the world in the international Robocup. Let the games begin... With Ever–loving, Maraschino–sweet, unpopped love, Street

STREET Presents: Spring Dining Guide

It's just about lunchtime. How much does your sandwich suck? Kidding, we love those (just not the gross ones from Mark's Cafe — could they use any more mayo?!). Here's a better question: have you seen the Dining Guide? If not, get it. NOW. 34th Street's reviewed 20 of Philly's best spots to get grub happy, and none of them involve truffle oil, raw dieting, or fried-cricket-tacos, which do exist. Pick up a copy before they're all gone. Just don't eat it.

Street Presents: The Night Before Feb Club

It was the night before Feb Club, and all through the campus, not a senior was quiet, not even the dampest. Street road along high in the sky, offering glances at its Ego, Jonathan Youshaei, and a hot lump of Meh for all those who didst not click, even if watching a movie while sick. As the pages turned and the students learned, Shop n' Bag churned out some better grub than FroGro, while our lowest of all bros looked upon THE INTERNET as it grows and grows. And then, as those forever alone among them worried about their cat–filled futures, music helped them out with a Heartbreak Mixtape Feature.   Planning for new beginnings, Arts brought us First Fridays and Features a cup of coffee from Avril 50, ready to weep with us through till February when all of our nights would be nifty.

STREET PRESENTS: Hack City, Bitch

Happy Thursday everybody, Street's got some sweet, sweet nothings to whisper into your eyes this week. First, enter the Matrix the world of hackers with Street's feature on Pennapps, the biggest hackathon in the world. Then, we present our Ego of the Week, Sarah Richter of the Excelano Project, a regular coolgirl if we ever did see. Music offers us a chance at redemption with a retrospective and a future–spective on Destiny's Child, Street's own favorite remnant from the 90s and 00s. Film brings us another look into the Greek Life — which movies really represent it? I'm pretty sure Penn's going to suffer some revenge from the nerds at some stage... Need to let off some steam? Former UTB Managing Ed Ian Bussard gladly rants to us about the horrors of Instagram this week — not for the lovers of sepia. Arts brings to the foray something that may resemble a hose with glowy parts, but rest assured, Street is definitely sure it's art. Finally, check out Street's very own version of The Walk, "The Strut," and flashback in time with BP's look at Penn's most ancient yearbooks.

Cultural Elite is DEAD. Introducing: Senior Superlatives

Cultural Elite as you knew it is gone. But don’t go mourning the loss of Penn’s most scandalous senior year tradition just yet. Take off that black lace veil… you look ridiculous. Cultural Elite was a caterpillar; it’s been hiding in a cocoon or whatever metamorphosis metaphor you want to make and it’s about to burst out as a beautiful butterfly. See, we at Street took into account everything people loved and hated about the feature and came up with something new and exciting. We just love to shake things up.
