Yes!
For a bit I was bummed about the fact that I couldn’t get six on each side of the street, all evenly spaced and purty. But oh well, some random trees are better than no trees at all. Right?

Ever since I was a wee little intern at a certain alt-weekly here in Philly, I’ve wanted to get my hands on stats that tell me the racial makeup of newsrooms of local papers. (Yes, I was the lone raisin floating in a sea of oatmeal. It’s all good. No worries. I can handle it ;) ). Continue reading
