If you hadn’t heard, today is National Bike to Work Day. This morning, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter showed his support for bicycle commuting by joining a few dozen hardy cyclists in a ride from the Art Museum steps to City Hall. As you can see, he was sporting a stylish (and highly visible) rain jacket and smiling despite the rain. He even posed with [...]

If you’re in Center City right now, and have no plans for your lunch break, why not try and score some gas for 76 cents a gallon?

If you head over to Lukoil on Delaware Ave and Spring Garden, you’ll be able to do just that, from noon until 1:16PM. The Sixers are playing Game Three of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals at the Wachovia Center today at 7PM. Now, I don’t know much about basketball, but [...]

Guess who’s coming to town!? No it’s too early for Santa Clause… Soccer, or futbol, is coming to town!

After Game 1’s spirited try and Game 2’s shutout win, the answer is a solid no.

It wasn’t very long before announcers and sports analysts were decrying the performance of the Capitals’ Alexander Ovechkin. The [...]

The much-awaited Phillies season started Monday and it was good to see them back. However, with cold and rainy weather and a disheartening five-run 9th inning from the Washington Nationals, not everything went according to plan. Even so, as you can see from this well-produced video from Enrico Campitelli and the crew at the 700 Level, there was plenty [...]

Back when sports was my favorite past time, basketball was always my number one. I still go out to the occasional game or two, but it has to be awesome.

The Sixers have been winning left and right for the last 3 weeks - beating teams at home and on the road. Moe Cheeks and the crew have begun to gel just in time for this Wednesday night. Allen Iverson returns to the Wachovia Center with Carmello Anthony [...]
