Forbes magazine published the results of nationwide survey conducted by The Marketing Arm. It seems fans everywhere can't get enough of the Phillie Phanatic taunting the opposition and launching hot dogs into the stands. Second place in the poll went to the San Diego Chicken followed by the Milwaukee Brewers Racing Sausages and New York's Mr. Met. Who... Read More |

| The duck boats are back in the Delaware River and on the streets of Philadelphia. Ride-the-Ducks tours have been suspended in Philadelphia since July after the tragic collision on the Delaware River with a barge that resulted in the death of two Hungarian tourists. The first passenges to board the Ducks this week did not seem concerned about safety, with some reporting they felt more at risk on the highways than on the duck boats. Anchors... Read More |

Operating under a new safety plan, duck boats will return to the Delaware River for the first time since the accident last summer that killed two tourists.
Part of the new safety plan includes a rescue boat that will always be docked at Pier 5 and a much shorter water ride.
The water portion of the tour will now last from 10 to 15 minutes instead of 30.
The ducks also will not enter the water if any large vessel is within half a nautical mile and approaching the area where... Read More |

| The city of Philadelphia is now offering free condoms to children as young as 11 years old to stem the spread of STD's. And the website, www.takecontrolphilly.org offers blunt advice for girls on how to insert condoms, such as "Figure out what position works for you. You can stand with one foot on a chair, sit on the edge of a chair, lie down, squat, or for fun, have your partner help you out." The idea of 11 year olds being... Read More |

A certain level of anticipation as you unwrap the plastic from that CD, tape, record and pull it out of it's case/cover. Put it into the player, lay down the needle, or cue up the track.

You had to go somewhere, walk around... Read More |
