Leftovers: March… Something

• Here’s a treasure trove of old timey — okay, 1980s — Atlantic City concert photos. And Richard Pryor! [Atlantic City Weekly]

• Sweeney posts some essays from people who like Penn alums The Disco Biscuits: “I have had the absolute pleasure of spending some of my most memorable moments of my life with this band (Jamaica), and I have had the pure bliss of taking someone to their first Biscuits show. Sharing this band with someone for their first time is a gift in and of by itself.” Man, this band is complicated! Their concert tickets should cost like $1000 each. [Philebrity]

• A mom in Camden is accused of stabbing a boy her son was fighting. In the back! [AP/6 ABC]

• Joe Vento’s sign at Geno’s is ruled not discriminatory, which everybody knew was going to happen, and Mayor Nutter is like, “Eh, what, wasn’t this a story in, like, 2006?” Which is sort of how everybody feels right now. Eh. [KYW 1060]

• Bensalem is cracking down on graffiti and litter. Here’s what the mayor said on litter: “This issue is so bad that we’re going to clean up some of the same places week after week.” I’m actually all kinds of in favor of mandatory minimums for littering. [Bucks County Courier Times]

• Commerce Bank is changing its colors to green and its logo to TD Banknorth’s. But what bank will look like a giant toaster oven now? [Camden Courier-Post]

• Penn’s 34th Street goes into the depths of Manayunk. [34ST]

• A woman says a cabbie assaulted her when she tried to pay with a credit card. I just decided to pretend the credit card things don’t exist. It’s just easier for we passengers; I pay with cash but now I hate the cab driver, too, which makes it more fun. [NBC 10]
