Mew Gallery's housing situation doesn't warrant a panic attack just yet. But you should still skedaddle over to the store's annual Pay the Rent Event like it's do or die, because with these strange days upon us, it very well could be. For a suggested donation of $5, you get access to sales on Anna Burke photography, Tranquility jewelry, Un De Six clothing, J.L. Shnabel paintings and much more. And, of course, you'll enjoy that warm, tingly feeling of knowing you did good by supporting a great fashion and art store. We all remember when Conspiracy Showroom shut its cute, little doors last month. Let's keep that from happening to Mew.
Tue., March 3, 6-10 p.m., $5, South Philadelphia Tap Room, 1509 Mifflin St., 215-271-SPTR.

To say nothing of its imperfect navigability and MTV-like video series like "Down the Shore," philly.com has seemingly failed to do what Brian Tierney had hoped — save the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Daily News from filing for Chapter 11.
But things didn't always look as bad. In 1997, Inquirer reporter Mark Bowden wrote a series of articles that eventually became the novel Black Hawk Down (which eventually became that movie with Josh Hartnett in it). The Web site that accompanied the pieces was badass — especially considering it's from 12 years ago — and featured a slew of audio, video and multimedia features. (Maps! Graphics! A who's who of characters! Am I still on philly.com?) More than a decade later, the site is still worth checking out.
I'm not trying to kick the Inquirer too hard when it's down, but this leaves me wondering: Why did philly.com abandon projects like this in favor of comprehensive Wing Bowl features?
