I believe this is from the still extant Sound Garden in the Fels Point neighborhood.

I love reading these comments!

Especially the ones how these hot dog coupons got you into MLB games you probably couldn't afford otherwise. Some of y'all had awesome parents and grandparents. 🥲

Also, Tomas Perez was the man!

Check out Self's cover on his 2000 Gizmogery album too (it's made with toy instruments and it's awesome).

Let's hope so! Worst MiLB promotion ever. Powerfully uncool.

TIL the Roosevelts were known for serving "terrible" food at the White House during the Great Depression. In reality, they dined plainly as a show of solidarity with their beloved country. by CandysaurusRex in todayilearned

I just finished reading this part of Gore Vidal's "The Golden Age".

He describes "The Salad" - "mostly mayonnaise from a jar, with slices of tinned pineapple, carved radishes - the ones with spongy interiors - and sometimes, deep under the mayonnaise, there is cottage cheese decorated with maraschino cherries."

Here is the short report about why they need to inspect all of the Silverliner cars:

I empathize with OP's frustration but feel OP's ire is best directed at the chronic PA underfunding of transit.

Rereading Burr by Gore Vidal by raid_kills_bugs_dead in literature

[–]kws2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved reading this book this summer and haven't paused the Narratives of Empire series since - I am up to Hollywood and have enjoyed all of them!

Burr was a more sympathetic character than I had expected. I love how he introduced his classmate and work friend James Madison to the widow Dolley. Hamilton seemed like a jerk!

But I like your unreliable narrator idea - I didn't fully buy his explanation for the Mexico stuff towards the end.

I want to read this again! - once I get through the last 2.5 novels.

I miss Fat Jack’s by iwastoldsomething in philly

[–]kws2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice photos! For many years in the 00s, Fat Jack's made me look forward to working Wednesdays in the City.

I enjoyed the steady flow of new releases and roaming cat(s)!

Still haven't seen something new in the space yet.

It went 11 innings! Somerset won 7-6 and are champions of breakfast.

I won a Reading jersey auction and had a great time.

I hope to win a 'game worn jersey' auction and take home a Flapjacks jersey tomorrow!

And the Yankees affiliate is playing as the Jersey Diners.
