Not sure if it was the dark sky or the heavy rains, but something had Philly bloggers feeling retrospective this weekend:
• Akkam's Razor provides links celebrating one of Philadelphian's favorite summer getaways: Wildwood and the Jersey shore; including a non Jersey shore related link to the 1981 Atari game catalog. Man, we miss our 2600.
• Karl Martino reminds us that the more things change, the more they stay the same, with Megadeth's still timely Peace Sells.
• Local quiz master Johnny Goodtimes links us to a look back on the ever-changing hairstyle of national quiz master, Alex Trebek(which thankfully does not include photos of the moustacheless Trebek - because the clean shaven Trebek really freaks us out).

- America's Hometown points us towards TurnHere -- Short Films, Cool Spaces, which features short films about several Philly neighborhoods.

- Akkam's Razor is apparently movie. They've got loads of related links.

Gonna find my blog, gonna hold it tight. Gonna grab some afternoon delight. My motto's always been; when it's right (you know, conservative), it's right. Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night to blog? (yeah, that doesn't rhyme) When everything's a little clearer in the light of day. And you know the night is always gonna be there any way. (We're just not trying any more) Blog rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight. (You know, because we're posting this in the afternoon) Anyways, here's your frolic through the Philadelphia blogosphere for the week:

City Councilman Rick Mariano, a local politician who has had federal indictment rumors swirling about him recently, climbed onto a ledge and City Hall tonight and threatened to commit suicide. He was talked down from the ledge by Mayor John Street and Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson.

We know it can be intimidating to step into that vast pool that is the Philadelphia blogosphere. Being the kind people we are, we'll do it for you. Here's a round-up of some of the things happening around the web:

Dan Buskirk of WPRB 103.3 FM, based in Princeton, will be hosting a New Orleans jazz program today from 11 am to 1 pm. Plain Parade's Maria T. Sciarrino writes, "As a friend aptly pointed out yesterday, in between the loss of life and physical destruction that is happening in New Orleans, another kind of death is occurring -- one of the south's major cultural capitals."
