What to expect now that you’ve joined
📆 Each Thursday in your inbox, you can expect a full rundown on things to do throughout the week, the latest news that matters to you, a bit of South Philly history, and anything else of note.
📍 Our coverage area! There’s debate on what exactly constitutes South Philly. (Someone once told me that anything north of Snyder doesn’t count, which is crazy, but nonetheless.) For our coverage purposes, we’re calling it anything south of South Street and between the rivers. If you live here, or you used to live here, or you want to live here, or you just care about it here, this newsletter is for you.
🚔 We’re not going to cover too much crime here. The local TV stations do a great job of flying their helicopters over us anytime somebody gets shot at, and we don’t feel the need to double down on that. If it’s a big deal, we’ll cover it. If it’s two drug dealers shooting at each other, we probably won’t. (No offense, fellas.)
📝 On that note, we very, very, much want your feedback. We want to be a resource for the neighborhood — a news outlet for South Philly and by South Philly. DM us on IG or email us at [email protected]. We’ll respond, and your comments might just get shared in the next edition of the newsletter!
