TONIGHT

🚚 U-Haul Party

Three DJs, three channels, one headphone-fueled rooftop party. Switch the station, find your groove, and let the skyline be your backdrop.

LOCALS ONLY

  • The Phillies just turned losing Zack Wheeler into a whole new rally cry. In a three-game demolition of the Mariners, they racked up 48 hits, 9 homers, and a franchise-record 34 strikeouts from their starters, each tossing double-digit Ks. Two 20+ hit games in one series? Never happened before

  • After a months-long freeze, the Trump administration has resumed $5B in funding for EV chargers. PA will see nearly $77M to build stations along key routes, thanks in part to a lawsuit joined by the state in August.

  • A cow’s call of nature could win you $5K. Canine Partners for Life’s Fall Festival in Cochranville on September 20th will host its annual Cow Bingo, plus food trucks, service dog demos, and more.

  • The Philly Naked Bike Ride pedals through the city tomorrow for its 16th year, celebrating body positivity and cycling advocacy. The route drops 24 hours before the 5PM start.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! YAY!
