  Headed back

  Chris Morris, a part-time crew coach at Conestoga High School, took this picture from the Schuylkill River as the crew is returning to Boathouse Row from practice. Practice ends everyday with this lap around the river bend to Boathouse Row when coaches get this magnificent view of the city. The rowers themselves...

  Hoodrat things

  We have a soft spot for those who don't give AF (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, obviously). Case in point our man here who decided to scale a few city monuments via bike right outside City Hall. For a split second, it brought us back to a happier time...
