Check it: the corner of 40th and Spruce way back in 1970. Groovy. Before Allegro served up greasy pies, this charming little retro diner was (probably) whipping up scrambled eggs, steaming stacks of pancakes, hot and gooey grilled cheese sandwiches.... mmMMm. Too bad the ghost of Pennsylvania Grill chose to die a second death rather than live on in that sad old excuse for a diner. Meh, who can blame it?
You know, a lot of guys be thinkin' Rodin shoutouts are about them. This is not to get confused, this one's for you. Kevin, you they everything, you all they ever wanted. You can do it real big, bigger than you've ever done it. You be up on everything, other guys ain't never on it. They say you da you da best, you da you da best, you da you da best, you da you da best. You the best they ever had, best they ever had, best they ever had, best they ever had.
Looking for fame? Fortune? A 10% discount on all future orders of two or more calzones (some restrictions may apply)? This probably isn't the opportunity to find them, but we do encourage you to cast your dignity aside and do whatever it takes to get cast in what's sure to be a Clio-nominated commercial. The ideal candidate probably embodies the spirit of the D.P. Dough calzone: always freshly baked.
Not too long ago, Fling was named the number two sanctioned college event in America. And we rejoiced. But evidently it only fares well among "official" events, because Penn's favorite slopfest was left off of HuffPo's recent list of the 10 craziest college parties in the country. Apparently a single rowdy tailgate at Duke is crazier than Fling. For this, we shall not STAND!
Get outta town, Beijing: there's a new Chinese BYO coming our way and our heads are spinning with excitement. Eater Philly reports that Han Dynasty, the mouth-watering restaurant with locations in Old City and Manayunk, will take up residence at 38th and Market in the space formerly occupied by Mid-Atlantic.
Spring has sprung, the sun is out, the sky is blue, the weather is easy, breezy, beautiful, and that means one thing: 'tis the season to see and be seen chillin' in the relevant outdoor spot of your choice. Check out these hip kids kickin' it on the balcony of the Elmo house circa 1965 like being trendy is their job. Guess some things never change.
First Day of Spring Means Free Rita's — Celebrate the recent string of beautiful weather with a free cup of water ice! Get down to any Rita's location (15th and Spruce is the closest) today between noon and 9 p.m. for your sweet treat.
The DP reports that Geoffrey Canada, the founder and President of the Harlem Children's Zone whose work was prominently featured in the 2010 documentary Waiting For Superman, will deliver the commencement address to this year's graduating class in May.
Because the entire world already loves Masala, they had nothing left to do but...make it fall in love with them even harder. Like, we don't even care they parodied a seven-year old video because it's just too good. [Insert more Franzia product placement here.]
Everybody's HAD IT with those kids who email an entire class listserv three days before a midterm begging someone, anyone, to send them the entire semester's worth of notes because their computer "mysteriously crashed" or they "missed class." Nobody has fallen for it. Ever. And carelessly losing your laptop in Mexico during Spring Break isn't likely to garner any sympathy, but the email below sent to one HIST431 class may be the most enticing plea ever:
Fall Semester Courses Are Up On PennInTouch — Nothing like planning next semester's schedule to kick off your desperately-needed break, eh? And seniors, you're officially allowed to start crying.
This must not qualify as part of what today's new-age chefs call a "multisensory" food experience. Gold star for the bilingual skills, though.
SAS Webmail Enters The 21st Century — Finally, the College and LPS email service will be switched from the horrendously archaic Windows Live Hotmail to Gmail this summer. Hooray for overdue technological developments!
Meet Jerry Liu. Jerry made this neato video of himself jugglin' those balls like it's his job. Pretty, pretty, pretty good, eh? We were intrigued by Jerry, so we did a little research to learn a bit more about him. What we found was unexpected. JERRY IS THE PRESIDENT OF MARS.
Spotted: Some Audacious Men from an unnamed fraternity performing "Baby Got Back" in front of the giant windows of Pottruck's first floor cardio center as part of their hazing—er, ceremonial induction into the brotherhood. Dance like nobody's watching?
Future IBankers, Remember That Your Body Is A Temple—The Wall Street Journal reports on a study set to be published in Administrative Science Quarterly that claims insomnia, heart palpitations, eating disorders and substance abuse are among the health problems faced by young investment bankers who average 80- to 120-hour work weeks. After 6 years on the job, 60% of research subjects remained "at war" with their bodies for the sake of work, while 40% began prioritizing their health. Take from it what you will.
And they're putting it on Twitter for the rest of us to laugh at. In the vain of Overheard and @CondeElevator, some enterprising students launched @HuntsmanGSR, your window into the outrageous, sometimes disturbing, and mostly 'WTF?'-inducing words of tomorrow's business leaders who have probably been cooped up in those suffocating rooms for longer than would be considered healthy by 4 out of 5 physicians.

Looks like we finally have an answer to the age-old Juicy Campus CollegeACB Blipdar question of whether Penn guys or gals take the cake in the looks department. An article in The Atlantic Wire explains how the gurus over at DateMySchool, an online dating site for college students, used their pool of data to take the site from eHarmony for young adults to Hot or Not of the collegiate realm. They determined the "hotness" of individuals by the frequency with which other users saved their profile pictures. Not only did Penn women rank as the hottest females in the Ivy League (who run the world?), Penn men were ranked the least attractive out of their Ivy brethren (ouch, baby! Very ouch). Case closed! Now everybody can shut up and worry about less trivial matters, like how many eligible women will transfer to Dartmouth next year.
Wawa: the drunk, broke, starving, lazy, gluttonous college student's real-life fantasy. There is perhaps no entity on campus, not even Madame President herself, revered as much as the munchie-drunchie-hoagie-milkshake-chicken strips on a bed of macaroni-all nighter snack stop havens on 36th and Chestnut and 38th and Spruce.
If you follow any Penn publication, Twitter or Facebook page, or generally just exist, you've probably seen the swarm of media attention around the GRASP Lab's nano quadrotors. This segment featured on NBC Philadelphia shows just how advanced the little machines have become. MEAM Professor Vijay Kumar explains their maneuverability allows them to do things like birds, but with greater precision (probably meaning increased accuracy of pooping directly on park benches, windshields and your head).
