Waaaaay too city-focused for the second day in a row, but it seems as though all of the suburbanites may be at the shore indefinitely.- Ed.
[ ] The really fucking BIG, high-def video wall inside the new Comcast Center (17th and JFK, Philadelphia) is the new Dali exhibit, Body Worlds, King Tut at the Franklin, black. (Inky) With video.
Honestly there are people from Lancaster and Schuylkill counties that will pretty much just shit themselves when they see this thing. It will be just like an M. Night pic, only real (and good). It’s almost worth planning a Farmers Market for the lobby this summer….’course there’s this, too:
Brian L. Roberts, the chief executive officer, said he would like the video wall to become part of the local culture, like the Christmas lights at the former Wanamaker's department store. He plans to join with a consumer-electronics company and open a "Comcast Store" in the building, and the video wall fits nicely with that plan, he said.
Yup. Just like Wanamaker’s.
[ ] The Supreme Court agreed with the founders of the country and will allow us to keep bearing arms for now. (phillyBurbs) …Suburban commentary borders on unintentional brilliance. (phillyBurbs)
[ ] Dept. of Bad Karma: You do not ask a man giving away free ice cream in 90 degree heat and Cambodian humidity to move his truck. You just don’t. (Philly Chit Chat)
[ ] Gov. Ed Rendell says he would consider a cabinet post in a potential Obama administration. (AP)
From the story:
Gotta think Transportation has a batter café. Way too many greens at Energy. …Just sayin’, Guv. Just sayin’.
[ ] With all the less-than-encouraging news about print media this week, we would be remiss if we didn’t note the particularly interesting move of one of blogging’s best to print media: Will Leitch, editor of Deadspin.com to New York magazine. …The roasting and crying and fluffing is going on over at Deadspin.
But fuck it: What we really want to know is: Is Philly guy – and Deadspin senior writer AJ Daulerio the next H.MF. i.C.?
