Phillyist Playlist: 311 at the Borgata Event Center

311 has always been a band that puts on a fantastic, high-energy show and tomorrow night's sold-out performance at The Borgata should prove to be no exception. This Phillyist was a fan of 311 when Grassroots came out and their sound has evolved so fluidly, keeping us interested ever since. This new fall tour seems to stem off the most recent summer tour, promoting their newest album, Uplifter.

Yo, Philly in the News

  • As we bid our final farewells to 2008, perhaps it's time to celebrate new lives.
  • FUD is no match for Michael. (No, not that fud, that FUD.)
  • The Inquirer examines what it meant (for the players and their families) for a team from Camden's Cramer Hill neighborhood to play T-ball on the White House lawn yesterday.
  • There were some who thought that this week would be the one where Michael's legacy would truly begin, as the City Council's budget hearings got underway. Among the major issues to be addressed were Michael's tax plan, which includes a scaling-back of the city wage tax. Talk to us when it's being eliminated altogether.
  • It's not clear how much it will cost, but the Nutter administration is determined to get a 311 system installed in Philadelphia by the end of the year. If you're in an emergency, you'd still dial 911, but for any other city service, you could call 311. Officials also plan to implement PhillyStat, "a program that will track data from city departments and from 3-1-1 calls to assess how agencies are performing."
