Yesterday's New York Times ran a rather long piece called "How Do You Prove You're a Jew?", and while it may seem an unconventional topic for a manners column, I'd like to expound a bit upon it. Have no fear: even if you don't have the time or the inclination to read the original Gershom Gorenberg essay, I'm only using it as a jumping-off point for this column, and I promise not to allude......

Hallelujah. Holla back, hipsters. It's the triumphant return of the Craigslist round-up. On a weekly basis, we will be brining you the Craigslist craziness like hot butter on your breakfast toast (or margarine, for the lactose intolerant).

So, pull down your plastic-framed spectacles, kick up your Chuck Taylor-clad toes, and......

Phillyist knows you're probably sick to death of hearing about labor relations; however - it's good to remember that this isn't an issue unique to our time (or transit system). In that spirit, the GET-UP Film Project starts this week at iHouse, with it's thematic look at Labor Relations in film.
