PennDOT's Jim Struzzi promises Wagner's people that he will send out inspectors to investigate the piles of gravel and sand as well as have […]

Yesterday, it finally arrived. It being a very preliminary announcement of my 20th class reunion in the summer of 2008. I have been out of high school nearly 20 years. Wow.

The NYT author cites our thriving arts scene, affordable housing and high-profile LGBT events. Several local LGBT leaders weigh in with some skepticism that we are […]
Somewhat misleading title. This is my first time being “tagged,” but since i love those little email questionnaire things, this seems fun. Four Jobs I’ve Had: 1. Foster Care Recruiter2. Special Projects Coordinator3. Lay Missioner4. Intern for Senator Rick Santorum Four Movies I Watch Over and Over Again: 1. A Family Affair2. When Harry Met […]
In no particular order, the books that have changed me. One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch, Aleksandr Solzhenutsyn. Read this in AP English.
