Would many LGBT folks actually support McCain in the first place? Not that we don't love an Obama presence at OutFest. Shame he won't be there himself, but if you have $2,300

Time for the Choice Awards for 2008. Check out the best A&E, news bits, shopping & style, sports & rec, and food & drink our city has to offer. (Though it sounds like the dessert section may be a little biased, but hey, who doesn’t like a free cupcake.)

A girl fight escalated to a brawl at Sayre High this morning, ending when police intervened and arrested twenty-two students. Somebody got beat up, and they weren't an immigrant or in the vicinity of SEPTA? Man, this violence thing is getting out of hand...

It’s PW’s time for a fall guide, and they got lots of stuff for you on the cheap. But don’t expect any PA favors.

  • Two West Philadelphia High students were slashed during an argument on Monday, so a heavy police presence blanketed the area yesterday as students were dismissed for the day.
  • The saga of CBS 3’s Alycia Lane continues. She has been divorced twice, appeared on Dr. Phil, was romantically linked to WCBS anchor Chris Wragge, and of course infamously sent bikini photos to a married man.

    Lower Merion High School is in the news for two things this morning: one good, and one bad. After all three judges in Delaware recused themselves, a judge in Philadelphia will now decide convicted killer Thomas Capano's federal appeal of his murder conviction. Nutter announced still more appointments yesterday, filling in key ethics positions with three veteran's of the US Attorney's Office.

Burella was shot by her husband, who then killed himself.

  • Is N.Y.P.D. Pizza on South 11th Street across from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital going to be the next pizzeria to face the wrath of the New York City Police Department? Perhaps, given the fact that a similarly named chain of pizzerias based in Orlando has incurred the wrath of New York’s Finest and is getting sued for having a logo that is a doppelganger for the NYPD logo and selling faux-NYPD gear - all without being official licensees.

    Our new author Lou is jumping right into the fray with a quick news post on the Penn shooting (gosh, we sure are Penn-centric!) that anonymous tipsters have been dumping links about into our contribute section - thanks for the heads-up, folks!
