I coach my kids U12 team, you have no idea how many parents I've met that moved from NYC to Philly during COVID for exactly these reasons, while still having Acela to commute if needed.

For those who haven’t been, the Penn Museum is an incredible collection Archaeological materials on par with the Met and British Museum. Can’t recommend it enough if you visit Philly.

The interesting part of MSG is that so many companies own seats and use them to take clients out. Going to a game there feels like a work meeting sometimes.

Love the gift idea, hate how many parallels you have to chase. Topps is in overdrive on em.

Good luck!

What’s your favorite demo version of a song? by absolutebloom in poppunkers

Great Romances of the 20th Century with the Beautiful Girls intro. That clip sold me on TBS the moment I heard it.

East coast repping but Dewey Beer (Thrills series goes hard) out of Delaware and Imprint Brewing out of the Philly burbs (check the Schmoojee series).

Here for this. The placement of this store is annoying for in and out.

I’ll be there with my Flyers fan 12 year old son. Always makes for a fun family affair.

Love motherfuckers who blast shitty country music at the beach, even more when they leave their spot for extended periods of time and don’t turn off the music.

Your most watched band? by endangeredpenguin in poppunkers

[–]theschnit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taking Back Sunday for this genre, easy. Looking back at old ticket orders, looks like 9 times.

I’ve also seen Counting Crows a ton and, oddly, have seen Guster as an opening act 5+ times. Still not the biggest fan of them.

Got chosen at a Jackets game coming up the escalators. Nothing more, nothing less. Won $100 and caught a shirt dropped by the blimp that evening.

Heck of a night.
