Phillyskyline Calendar Party Tonight

121108calendar.jpg Well, well! Brad Maule of Phillyskyline is again selling a fantastic calendar this year; tonight is the annual party from 7-9 p.m. for it at Conspiracy Showroom (across from North Bowl), with free beer from Philadelphia Brewing Company and $15 calendars.

Brad has noted on his site that the Philadelphia calendar on sale at mall kiosks has outdated photos — no Comcast Center, even! — while his calendar is completely up-to-date. The cover even has an outline of the 7 billion foot tall American Commerce Center on it!

And, yes, it features birthdays of Philadelphia celebrities past and present (did you know Terry Gross and Marty Moss-Coane share the same birthday?!). In addition to famous people, it also features me for some reason. I told Brad this is really going to get all the kiddies excited.

Unfortunately, Ralph Modjeski gets top billing over yours truly, and also because he was born earlier. For those of you who don’t know, he designed both the Ben Franklin and Tacony-Palmyra bridges. In a startling coincidence, I designed the Burlington-Bristol Bridge. Wow!

CH Toyota Loves America

Official Friend-of-Philadelphia Will Do Brad Maule put up another one of his excellent aerial slideshows today, this one called Lovecopter. (This is like a Love Train except people all over the world aren’t invited to join in. And it flies!)

There are a couple of absolutely awesome skyline shots, but my favorite has to be the one above: An American flag (which, thanks to weathering, only has 12 stripes and 44 stars) on the roof of Cherry Hill Toyota. Lest you think this foreign car dealership hates America, by golly, just look at the roof!

Do you think Cherry Hill Nissan has a crying eagle painted on its roof? One can only surmise.
