Solar Powered Trash Cans in Philly

The City of Philadelphia has chosen a novel new way to reduce man hours spent on trash pick up. They have installed 700 solar powered trash cans/compactors in the city where regular trash cans used to be. The new combo cans are solar powered and will need to be emptied only 25% as often as the normal cans. This will save the city $845,000 a year.

Philly.Com disses the Philly Cheesesteak

Okay, it appears that a website dedicated to covering Philadelphia has opined that the Philly Cheesesteak is inferior to the Grilled Pork Sandwich. Isn't this like Stalin insulting vodka, or Fidel Castro giving up cigars, or Jimmy Carter admitting his secret love for M&Ms over Jelly Beans?

As for me and my house, we remain faithful to the cheesesteak... although we don't live anywhere near Philadelphia anymore, so I am not sure we get a vote.

Edit 1:24 PM EST: "like" changed to "live". Ah, the curse of having an intelligent, detail-oriented audience. ;-)

Phillies announcer Harry Kalas dead at 73

I am sure he is thankful that he lived to see them win the World Series again. May he rest in peace.
