Wednesday: Veterans Day, Honoring All Who Served; What’s Closed

Wednesday, November 11, is Veterans Day, the annual federal holiday honoring the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

Why so many historic Philadelphia street lamps are shaped like the letter 'P'

Hundreds of historic lampposts in neighborhoods like Society Hill and Old City curve into an arch resembling a capital "P," carrying fixtures known as "Franklin lights."

Who is the Big Cheese hiding in Manayunk's rafters

I've been reporting for nearly two decades, counting my college newspaper days. That means I'm getting old, and I've been at this long enough that I no longer find stories; they find me. The big picture: In that spirit, let me tell you a story: I attended my friend, rapper Frost Gio 's open-mic show at The Grape in Manayunk over the weekend. While there, I gazed up at the bar rafters and saw a yellow plushie gazing back at me. At first, I thought it was a guitar pick playing the guitar. Very meta. Then I thought, no, wait, it's Split, the Savannah Bananas mascot. Zoom in: Stumped, my reporter instincts kicked in. So I asked the bartender. He told me the stuffie was the calling card of CheeseParade. I'd find them scattered throughout the bar. What they're saying: "Am I supposed to know who that is?" I asked as he popped open another nonalcoholic seltzer for me. He chuckled, quickly realized I was a newb to the bar and launched into the backstory. Catch up quick: CheeseParade is a Philly-born sketch comedy group that's built a massive online following. I found tidbits and scraps about its founder on

Remembering The Edmund Fitzgerald – Ship & Song

November 10th is a date that will forever be remembered in Great Lakes history. It's the anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, the massive freighter that disappeared beneath the icy waters of Lake Superior during a powerful storm in 1975. The disaster claimed the lives of all 29 crew members aboard, and thanks to Gordon Lightfoot, the story has been preserved in one of the most recognizable songs in rock history.

From “Goose Coat” to WHOVILLE: Surf7 Is Philly’s Next Breakout Voice

Philadelphia is a smaller musical-market than people may assume, but the last decade has influenced a bubbling movement of young stars busting out of the city’s limits, and West Philadelphia native Surf7 is truly nothing short of a shining prime example from the new wave of notable voices. Breaking the ice immediately with his viral debut single “Goose Coat” earlier this year, his raspy, gritty, bold voice brings the essence of his lyricism and beat selection together into a distinctive listening experience. Listeners can witness this in Surf7’s debut album WHOVILLE, a 17-track collective highlighting the young Philly bubbling star and an overall introduction to the journey of Surf7.

Philly’s Black History, Revived

There wouldn’t be a Belmont Mansion in 2026 if there hadn’t been an Audrey Johnson-Thornton in 1985. More than 40 years ago, Johnson-Thornton looked at the abandoned property in West Fairmount Park and saw not a dilapidated structure on the road to demolition, but a piece of history in need of preservation. One year later, she and TV producer Gloria Penn Easton co-founded the American Women’s Heritage Society (AWHS), an assemblage of Black women, and, with the City of Philadelphia’s blessing, took charge of Belmont’s care.
