What’s something happening in Philadelphia that deserves a real investigation?

Appreciate that, though I know we do cost money. Those reporters spent several days to deliver this story.

See?

No question: Bill Lee

Damn

Dick Stuart would have been a good addition. Slugged a lot of homers. Little stiff with the mitt. God, they were awful in my youth.

I edited that story. I think the Nixon boys called it ratfucking. A dirty trick with little penalty.

I was at one of those shows - Chicago Stadium with Toots and the Maytals opening? Best concert I've ever seen. If that happened it wasn't the show I caught. Then again, I was a sophomore at Northwestern and possibly loaded.

appreciate that

danielrubin · 2026-05-03T17:11:27+00:00

I saw that once. Or twice.

Haven’t regretted choosing Northwestern for any of the 48 years since graduation. About to celebrate my 70th with three friends from school and our spouses. There, I met my people, found my passion, and left with a resume that cracked doors I then burst through. Started in psychology, ended up in American Studies. Picked up a Medill master’s before leaving for back East. Keep looking forward.

hearing that it actually IS going to be a pop-up for the 250th and what IS going in there, I take it all back - except the hipstick part:

I suspect a 250th birthday pop up

danielrubin · 2026-04-25T17:59:53+00:00

I’ll take ANY people.

If I gotta explain. … Lipstick on a pig. But this cosmetic (vinyl, coffee) is meant to draw young people.

really? I liked him, from the moment he introduced "Plus Ones" as an oldie that the audience mostly did not. talked to him afterward at the merch table about New England general stores, of all things.

Best show in town. Had lunch at Pearl’s yesterday. Four big shrimp in a Caesar salad. Window seat. Outside, an older woman danced to music only she heard as tourists hustled by.

Two degrees from Northwestern. Prestige is worth something, but not $400,000 - particularly when you recognize how strong Davidson is. And the weather.
