A few months ago my sister, Erin, told me about KYS 1060am. She said it was great for traffic reports, and due largely in part to my newness to Philly and minorly in part to my lack of patience with waiting, I thought it would be good to check it out. So I listened, and have been listening constantly since then. I love NEWS! I love convienience! I love brushing my teeth and listening to weather reports! 1060am will give me all of this…in only 22 minutes! They will give me THE WORLD in 22 minutes. A hefty promise, yes. But only a dangerous one if they failed to deliver. But they don’t. They give you everything you need in a remarkably short amount of time. This is because they are committed to giving traffic reports every ten minutes. How deep can they possibly get if they have to report on the traffic on the Vine Street Expressway every ten minutes?

As some of you may have heard, Philadelphia Inquirer Food Critic Craig Laban is being sued for libel by the Chops in Bala Cynwyd for saying that their strip steak was tough and fatty. The restaurant states that he didn’t have the strip steak, that he actually ordered the steak sandwich and ate it without the bread and so was in no position to comment on the strip steak.

This has become pretty big news across the country, and today the New York Times Food Section ran a piece detailing Laban’s troubles and whether Chops has a chance of winning against Laban and the Inquirer. Philadelphia food blogger and attorney David Snyder (aka Philafoodie) was interviewed for the piece and was quoted nicely. Congratulations to our local food blogger on become a national media darling.

Everybody has the friend who can be counted on to tell a good dating story. The one who treats the search for the right person as if it’s a second job. Who has one date for drinks at 6 pm and then goes down the street to meet someone else for dinner at 8 pm.

Philly STYLE is looking for a weekly dating blogger to impart stories, wisdom and advice to their readers. The gig pays and is not anonymous (your picture will be included). Here’s how to apply…

Send a sample dating blog submission, with as much advice and action you can pack into 150 words, to sarahs@dlgmedia.com. To be considered, “Dating Blogger” must be the subject line of the e-mail. Once the Philly STYLE editors narrow it down to the top few candidates, you’ll meet one for a date: a coffee date, in Queen Village, to talk details.
