– Let’s be clear here: 13th Street is still a red light district. But it’s not violent, and has nice bars and restaurants on it, so there’s no real reason to avoid it unless you really can’t take the sight of transvestite hookers. (via Daily News)
“Philadelphia police said Wednesday night that a report of an abduction earlier...”
– Hiring a stripper seems classy in comparison. (via the Inquirer)
“Insofar as beverages were concerned, Jean-Gilles says he developed a fondness...”

As usual, RJ White brings the funny.
“I’m a tough dude to shock. But this video shocked the hell out of me. How could...”
