The countdown is alive and kicking... only six months to the 2010 edition of Philly Beer Week. You can watch the seconds tick by and keep an eye on updates and, eventually, the event calendar at PBW's official website . I'm particularly jazzed by Philly Beer Week's move on the calendar from its past place during the blustery weeks of early March. This year PBW shifts to early June, which means that it will coincide with what, if all things go well this year, is essentially Philly Bike Week and its hallmark event, the Philadelphia International Cycling Championship .

They are the only Philly team that got it right from the start, and then kept it relatively the same throughout the history of the franchise. The Flyers uniform features both a unique and cool logo (its a “p” with wings AND a ... Read Full Story

OK - well, our blog has been a little too “newsy” recently for my taste, so I’m starting a new Best/Worst of Philly segment that should generate some good discussion. My idea for the first segment, uniforms, came immediately after Elton Brand’s press conference, when instead of the current Sixers jersey , he raised an updated version of the old red, white and blue version. I freaked out. I couldn’t tell if I was more excited for the Brand signing, or the fact that the Sixers finally returned to their classic roots (note: They haven’t). How many of these would I buy?

The latest beatings against Asian students reported at South Philadelphia High School are an outrage.
