My 14 Hour Search for the End of TGI Friday’s Endless Appetizers by Caity Weaver

I couldn’t help myself when reading this piece by Caity Weaver. I found myself critiquing, agreeing, and commenting on Caity’s thoughts, questions, etc. while she continued this ‘challenge.’ I worked at TGI Friday’s. I HATED IT. I found myself reminiscing on those great old times back at Fridays in Old Bridge while reading this article.

Last Men Standing by Erin Allday

I feel personally, emotionally attacked by this article. And not in a good way. This was kind of brutal. If I were the author, I’m not sure I would have been able to successfully conduct these interviews without crying myself. I don’t know, maybe she did, and that was okay.

A SEPTA train stopping to pick up passengers heading into Center City. Many of the SEPTA stations have cafes inside them, Elcy's Cafe is located inside the Glenside station on the Warminster Line. Dylan uses SEPTA weekly, and was waiting for his train.

Protected: F*ck Boston

Wow. I haven't heard someone talk so shittily about something since Joe Pesci conversing about anything in Goodfellas.  Hamilton Nolan could not have voiced a stronger opinion than he did. Saying "Fuck" to everything that Boston has to offer is a tad harsh. He even went as far to give a big fuck you to all the prestigious universities that Boston is the home of. I find the way that he talks about Boston because not only is he cursing the city, but he is also bringing light to the awesomeness of it.

Is it Time? By A Dog

So, I’ve never actually read any of the Gawker articles by A Dog and was glad to find one of them on the list. It gave me an excuse to read them because I don’t read much of anything on my own. Yes. I read multiple ones.
