According to today’s Daily News, Mayor Street says that the “smoking ban is certain” and it may even pass in the next two weeks. I’m not holding my breath (except when I go to McGlinchey’s), but it was nice to see such optimism about the long-delayed measure. So what if this is all part of Street’s Evangelical push to dictate healthy living? How often do Evangelicals get behind workers’ rights? Only in Philadelphia.
So you see, things in Philly aren’t all bad. Occasionally there are small improvements. In a blatant rip-off of the City Paper’s Bell Curve feature, I’m going to try to keep a running tally of my positive and negative Philly commentary. One article equals one win for either the Frustration or the Phanatics. This positive story balances out my recent post on Mayor Street being named most worstestest Mayor in the country, so the standings now look like this:
STANDINGS:
W L PCT GB Streak
Phila. Frustration: 1 1 .500 - Lost 1
Phila. Phanatics: 1 1 .500 - Won 1
