- From Daniel Nichols: the SDS in ’63. One of Joshua’s points. If the early SDS and the rednecks had sat down and talked to each other, you might have more Baceviches.
- From MCJ: ways Stan was the Man. Musial.
- Our gal Sal. RIP Sally Star, a Philly institution. A kiddie cartoon-show emcee and showbiz trouper who had a hard early life.
- From Steve Sailer:
- East vs. West Coast. Never been to Boston; my impression is of a snobbier, less cordial Philadelphia.
- IQ and regression to the mean.
- From Cracked: social skills 101. How not to accidentally annoy.
- Roissy’s case against illegal-immigrant amnesty.
- From Rod Dreher: a church that can survive shipwreck.
- Early Easter this year. The Christmas cycle ends Saturday but it seemed to already end with a slam this past Sunday, Septuagesima, starting the run-up to Lent. Purple and texts alternating terror and mercy.

As a Boston resident for the last 7 years (and I fit right in, being Italian and coming from another Northeastern city full of white ethnics), I can't answer your question, not having ever been to Philadelphia. I must remedy that at some point!
ReplyDeleteI must point out to Sailer, though, that "Boston" is really more witnessed outside Boston proper these days. With 250,000 college students and tons of young professionals in the area, surrounding towns like Revere and Medford have a more undiluted "Boston" vibe.
