Another Jersey diner closes. Is it the end of an era?
So many diners in my area have closed within the past year. Word came this week that the Voorhees Diner on Route 73 in Voorhees had closed abruptly.

The Case for a Crappier Commuter
A few weeks ago, I was walking around South Philadelphia with a friend when I saw a bike easily worth a few thousand dollars locked up outside a bar on a dark street. It was a carbon gravel racer with flat pedals, all kinds of frame bags, a fancy front rack, and a far-too-flimsy lock for Philly standards.

Philadelphia Physician Dr. David L. Mattingly Settles for $72,000 in Improper Opioid Prescribing Allegations
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Eastern Pennsylvania has disclosed a settlement involving Dr. David L. Mattingly, a Philadelphia-area osteopathic physician, who faced allegations of improperly prescribing opioid medications. According to a press release, U.S. Attorney Jacqueline C.

Hunter McDonald is not your typical defenseman. At least not the way most at the position play the game today. McDonald has quickly risen the ranks of the Flyers' prospect pool.
