Sick People Can’t Catch A Break

Guess what, guys? The Inquirer has a new blog! (I know. You must be very shocked.) This one is by Early Word veteran Peter Mucha and is called “Live From…” The idea, I suppose, is that Mucha is going to go around with his laptop and blog from various locations. (I actually think this is a pretty good idea, if only because most bloggers just sit on our asses all day.)

Moving on from previous posts about being live from Wing Bowl, the King Tut exhibit and the Preston & Steve Show (of course), yesterday Mucha was live from unplowed streets! Of course, it appears he could have just found a street map of Philadelphia, posted it, and then went home to bed, since here were some of the unplowed streets: Columbus Blvd., Market, Walnut, Spring Garden, Callowhill.

But my favorite is Broad Street:

No, this is for real. The grey soggy sandlike mess is even deep on Broad Street. This is at Race, just a block from Hahnemann Hospital. Ambulances and sick people use these streets.

Ambulances and sick people!
