Our friend O.B . hooked us up with some awesome Mummers pics that he flicked while watching the rain delayed parade on New Years Day - including one of a guy with a tattoo on his back that says ‘Mummers Forever.’ That’s some hardcore dedication!

Yep, that’s the mayor. He high fived my pals, took pictures with mummers and
took boos in stride. Happy new year nutter!

Note the odd “dewmocracy” mountain dew posters right next to them.
Interesting. I’m pretty surprised the homophobes in dah naybahood
haven’t ripped these down yet.

Huzzah! The Mets fell apart and now the Phillies are headed to the playoffs. My vampire ass definitely fears the curse, but perhaps this could be our year!

This needs to be an official FV Event. I saw these flyers posted all over the neighborhood and had to invite the masses. I don’t give a crap about wrestling, real or fake but when you add an awesome mask and change the language, suddenly i’m into it. This is at the old ECW building […]

As you know i live in South Philly, in “the neighborhood”. You don’t fuck with anyone’s shit here lest you are willing to suffer the wrath. Some shitface privileged white fucks think it’s cool to get mad ups by painting directly on people’s houses. This will not stand. Whatever happened to self control and […]

Once again Labuda has skirted his duties as the weekend advisor so I’ here to ruin all your fun once again with the Hermit Edition®. Tonight is first friday but guess what, I don’t care! I’m certainly not going to cram myself into the tiny sidewalks and galleries of Olde City along with the […]

Why do some stay dry while others feel the pain? What makes you turn your head the other way? What raises your neighborhood insurance rates? Why does the bell curve blame the baby’s DNA? Chocolate Rain of course. If you have not heard of Tay Zonday and his song Chocolate Rain, I gotta ask what […]

The preliminary hearing for the South Philadelphia man accused of murdering a 15 year old did not take place as planned on Wednesday, after the defendant was beaten up just before his hearing while waiting inside a holding cell.

Police said the entire row home from basement to attic had been converted for growing marijuana with high power lights that mimic the sun. The house also contained a heavy-duty ventilation system that sucked the air through vents on the roof, so people at street level would not smell the odor.
If you believe my neighbors, […]

On my way to the store today on 9th street i was wondering why there was traffic and police tape. Turns out some savages killed a kid for no reason. I need to move. Or get my permit to carry.
It happened around 5 p.m. as little kids played throughout the neighborhood. Tykeem, just a […]

I’m super over anything with the retarded American Apparel look, even if it’s ironic. BUT, bowling is rad and even more rad, this is in a church basement. And what’s more godly than half naked hipster chicks getting totally wasted while groping some big balls and getting whirled by South Philly Guidos? Sound like your […]

It’s hard to suck with weak lungs. That’s why I’m happy to announce the foundation of the Vampire Fitness Klub. We’re gonna start with some summer runs. Use this gmap-pedometer to plan your trip. It’ll tell you how far you’re going and what kinda hills you’re going over. Start runnin, suckahs. I’m getting ready for […]

Well the GF and I just woke up to the sound of the devil gnashing his teeth. Or so i thought for a second. I jumped out of bed, threw my pants on and ran out the door. I saw two dudes jogging down my street in nary an item of clothing but wearing a […]

Every one’s favorite vocal Philadelphian racist, (you need to see his showcase of motorcycles covered in Confederate flags, which is extra odd since he’s a Yankee!) Joey Vento is featured currently on the front page of BBC News. Señor Joey, the owner of Geno’s Steaks is once again in the limelight due […]

I forgot to add this but it might as well be it’s own post. Tonight and tomorrow is the St. Maron’s Lebanese Festival in South Philly. I love going to this every year. In the church hall you have all kinds of amazing food at decent prices, plus lot’s of booze. Plenty of Lebanese chicks, […]

Hans posted a little while back about some of his favorite places to go eat in south Philadelphia [both of which are awesome]. One of them, Cacia’s, has opened a second location, maybe like ten days ago, next door to the Palm Tree Market [still the best coffee in the neighborhood] on the 700 block […]

Cacia’s Bakery + Italiano’s Water ice, a match made in heaven

Those of us that live and work in South Philly all have our favorite places to get our eat on. There are so many amazing little places and everyone has their special spots. Today i’ll share with you 2 of my absolutely […]
