”Al Qaeda wouldn’t last a day in parts of Philadelphia. I’ve got gangsters with .45s that would run them outta town.
When I lived in Philly, I used to make fun of my roommate’s parents for calling North Philly “Baghdad.” Looks like they weren’t too far off, in the mayor’s opinion. (via gruber)

Video from Temple’s campus after the Phillies’ win today. I was there at 10pm and there was literally no one outside. 2 hours later, the streets were one giant party.

Philadelphia Inquirer: Two arrests in Coatesville-area arsons
So two people were recently arrested in relation to Coatesville’s recent string of arson fires that have been making the national news. Turns out the one suspect is a 19-year-old gentleman from my town, and the other suspect is being charged for trying to set fire to my go-to local late-night hangout spot, Happy Days:
Mark Gilliam, 20, of the 1600 block of Suzanne Drive, West Chester, was charged in connection with the Jan. 25, 2009, attempted arson of the Happy Days Family Bistro, 3470 E. Lincoln Highway in Thorndale
There’s a cached version the first suspect’s MySpace page, featuring a “fire widget” which is just, uh, a widget on fire. The West Chester dude’s MySpace profile is private, but the small amount you can see is somewhat intriguing:
Authorities say that they have “very good reason to believe that Gilliam and Barlow know each other.” Crazy stuff.
