Alright, well we’re kicking off the 2nd annual Great Philadelphia Pizza Hunt to find who has the best pie in town. Got a lot of new places to try out. If you wanna help me try out these spots or have one of your own you wanna go for, holla atcha boy. Listed below the break are some of the places I plan on trying. If you’ve got one that’s not on the list that I need to try, just drop it in the comments.
Where should we do city vs. city challenge?

On May 14th, quizzo players from Philadelphia will be competing with quizzo players from Denver and Seattle (and possibly DC). We will all ask the same 50 questions, using the same scoring method, and see who emerges victorious. We’ll see what team takes the cake, and for bragging rights, what city’s top 5 teams average the highest scores. I need to know where we should do this. Somewhere I can fit 75-100 people. Also, should I charge a small fee (maybe $5) and get a band? Drop your ideas below.

Does the Big Brothers Program Help Reduce Crime in the City?

Mayoral candidate Dwight Evans thinks so:
Dwight Evans held a press conference on Thursday, April 12th to announce his pledge to fully support Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Philadelphia and their mentor programs as a way to reduce violence in the city. As a show of his commitment to Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Dwight signed up to be a Big Brother for a young child in Philadelphia.
“I fundamentally believe that we can overcome this scourge of violence Philadelphia is suffering through right now,” Evans said. “Community involvement and personal commitment will be keys to ending the violence, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters is a model combination of both these elements.“
Holy Matrimony Batman wins wedding quizzo

I hosted a post wedding quizzo at the Dark Horse on Saturday night. (Congratulations Phil and Tessa!) The winners of the quizzo might be familiar to some of you old schoolers. They called themselves Holy Matrimony Batman, but you might recognize them as the former members of the Missing Heads. And they spoke of a possible reunion tour at the Black Sheep at some point in the future.

The Most Important Athlete in the History of Sport

It was on this date in 1947 that Jackie Robinson took the field for the first time in the Major Leagues. He received a steady stream of death threats, and racial slurs were hurled at him constantly. Some of his teammates refused to talk to him, and opponents jeered him from the opposing dugout. And yet, in an environment that no athlete before or since has ever had to endure or will ever have to endure, Robinson excelled. He was named Rookie of the Year, and two years later he was named Baseball’s Most Valuable Player. He destroyed the notion that blacks were inferior with his actions and behavior both on and off the field. He could have easily remained in the Negro Leagues and made good money and never had to bear such an enormous burden . But he was placed on earth for a higher purpose, and he more than fulfilled it. There are very few people who I truly consider my heroes. Jackie Robinson is one of them.
