“We’re Getting There!”

Best. (Worst). Transportation. Authority. Slogan. Ever.

Now a song, via Hidden City Philadelphia.

Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy*.

Two really nice article in the August/September 2012 bi-monthly magazine Beerscene in remembrance of Michael Jackson (the other one, the deceased beer connoisseur).  You can find them here and here.

Alas, for some reason the main page only renders in mobile format.

Incidentally, did you know one of the Presidential candidates is a homebrewer (Desmoines Register via HuffPo)?

Why is there no Philadephia museum like this?

Says the profane GrojLart on Philaphilia:

If I were in charge, I’d go balls to the walls with [the Philadelphia History Museum]. I would display every beer can and bottle from every brewery Philly has ever had, a set of artifacts from every neighborhood, a product from every old factory, models of all the coolest lost buildings, an exhibit of all the different urban revitalization plans over the years, a diagram of showing the growth of the street grid, shit about the different indian tribes from the region, models of all the different kinds of rowhouses, a timeline of city government corruption, an exhibit of all the Philadelphia Firsts, the actual paintings that were Saturday Evening Post covers instead of reprints, a Mummers section that’s better than the Mummers Museum, Moses King’s books/photos, Frank G. Taylor’s books/drawings/photos, to name a few. You don’t need some garbage brand consulting firm con-artists to tell you that. You need a Philaphile.

Yup.
