We're Getting Yet Another Coffee Shop, Except This One Has A Fancy Name

(03/04/15 6:35pm)

There are lots of different things we wish to see added to this bustling community: perhaps a food option besides Wawa that's open late on the weekends (the bring back Philly Diner movement begins now), a new gym with little treadmill cubicles so you don't have to make so much awkward eye contact with semi-acquaintances in Pottruck, or maybe even an open napping space where you can nod off and drool to your heart's content between classes free from social stigma. 



This Job Search Description Will Make You Cringe

(02/26/15 8:46pm)

Congratulations, you now have the privilege of tutoring a ninth grader whose achievements easily surpass yours. This "precocious, motivated" 14-year-old will be taking a year off of her intensive high school curriculum to study in one year what you will probably take 4 years at Penn to do. For an unbeatable 10 bucks an hour, you get the privilege of being blessed by a 9th grader's scholarly knowledge of the Great American classics...via Skype. If you are a Penn student with a high level of pretentiousness, perpetual desire to be around annoying people, and inexplainable amount of free time despite the fact that you, too, are currently pursuing academia, then this is the job for you. Oh, and just a reminder: your tutee is bilingual and tri-cultural, so don't forget to take a visit to Sao Paulo and brush up on your Mandarin a little bit before accepting this job offer — you want to avoid potential for an awkward power dynamic.



Save The Chicken: A Walnut Street Tragedy

(02/22/15 1:35am)

The scene of the crime: Wishbone. Evidence includes shattered glass, potentially lost chicken, and very distressed-looking witnesses. Street-goers gathered outside Wishbone, and, too, mourned the loss of the forgone remnants of deep-fried deliciousness. Witnesses inside the scene shared a moment of quiet desperation. To the chicken: you will be missed.



Very Ambiguous Restaurant To Replace Chili's

(02/15/15 6:45pm)

While we were spending the last several days furiously grieving over the departure of Chili's, it appears a certain replacement restaurant has made its way to 3801 Chestnut. A "Coming Soon" sign for Tarka, an "authentic asian cuisine" joint, was recently spotted between the walls of our forlorn lunch-spot-to-be. Which begs the question...what the hell is it? Will it perhaps be yet another excuse to spend inordinate amounts of money on food? Or will it thankfully serve as a purveyor of food that doesn't fail safety inspections?





A Can Of Beer Can Do Good

(01/29/15 3:30pm)

Apparently now there's a way you can go for a run, drink beer and save the earth all at the same time! Sly Fox Beer is releasing an ale in honor of our beloved Schuylkill River Trail and some of the proceeds from its sale will go to improving and maintaining our favorite "off-campus" running spot, the SRT. So next time you have to beat yourself up to get out of bed and go for a jog, remember you get to reward yourself with "the perfect post-activity beer." Who knew a freezing run at the crack of dawn had its perks?



Just In Case You Forgot How To Pronounce "Penn"

(12/02/14 10:17pm)

We've had our fair share of bizarre Penn-related YouTube bits in the past — from the silly to the absurd — but nothing beats these. Gracefully brought to you by perhaps the most suspect and useless YouTube channels ever — "Epic Entertainment" and "Witty definitions," you won't walk away from this without having a greater knowledge of how to spell the name of this beloved institution.
