BELL CURVE: CP's Quality-o-Life-o-Meter for Feb 9, 2012
[+3] Mayor Nutter says he’s looking into opportunities to make use of North Broad Street’s famous Divine Lorraine building. “Know what? I’m gonna buy a camera, and take pictures of it. Has anybody thought of doing that yet?”
[0] Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown proposes generating revenue by selling ads on school buses. “Also, please start referring to me by my new name, Whisper-Quiet Maytag Dishmaster.”
[+4] A North Philly pastor makes “Wanted” posters with Lil Wayne’s picture on them, saying the rapper’s violent, misogynist lyrics are poisoning the community. Bell Curve is pretty sure the reverend is right, but, holy shit, we want a poster so bad.
[-4] With contract negotiations moving slowly, SEPTA police announce they may go on strike. Just to be clear: You guys are saying that, at present, you are on duty, trying to prevent acts of violence and theft on the trolleys, buses and trains, and have been for some time?
[0] Jezebel.com names Philadelphia the 14th best city in the United States for lesbians, while Lucky magazine ranks Philly the U.S.’s 14th best city for shopping. In case you’re curious: There are no listicles in Lucky Lesbian magazine.
[+1] Attorney and mummer George Badey III is running for U.S. House representative in the 7th Congressional District. He makes the announcement atop an appallingly antiquated cowboys-and-Indians float while stumbling through a string-band version of Will Smith’s “Wild, Wild West.” Also, he’s drunk and high. And there’s makeup and vomit in his beard. And his campaign manager is a busted-up hooker. And something smells like pee. Old pee.
[+2] Drexel announces a $97 million student housing and retail project on Chestnut Street. “We’re turning the Divine Lorraine into a laser-tag arena,” says Temple.
[0] The Philadelphia Passion loses the Lingerie Football League championship game to the Los Angeles Temptation. Guess they just wanted it more.
