My dad @Larry_Eichel left the @PhillyInquirer in 2008. He wrote the first draft of Jimmy Carter’s obit when I was 4. I’m now 39 and have been at the Inquirer for 14 years. Tomorrow will be his first A1 story in 16 years. inquirer.com/news/jimmy-cart…

My first story for the Inquirer. Thanks to Em Wilson, who brought me to the church where she bakes and let me spend hours picking her brain.
S/O to the folx who are "all gonna kiss after [they] eat a pastry." It's a bake sale, it's a ritual, it's gay.

The @PhillyInquirer’s first large-scale brand campaign used clever, provocative, and funny “Unsubscribe from/Subscribe to” ads on Philly-area billboards in addition to digital and print displays on transit and across The Inquirer’s products. ow.ly/CI1850RMMVT @EvanBenn

It was a long night for Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio, who was stuck for 'close to 5 hours' on an unmoving Amtrak train bound for NYC from Philly.

.@samanthamelamed spent a year investigating Philadelphia's collapsing rowhouses.
She found that a surge in residential construction, a culture of impunity, and inadequate oversight are destroying homes across the city.

Ever think, 'Restaurants in [my city] never get the media love that other cities do?' @ashukla89 pulled receipts from '89-'23 — major awards from Esq, F&W, JBF, Bon App & Eater — and saw #Philly surge to No. 3 behind only NYC and LA. And #Miami? Well...

We set out to learn about the life of every child shot and killed in Philadelphia in a single year. The result is a poignant picture of the state of the city’s gun violence & who it almost always impacts: the most vulnerable youth. These are their stories. inquirer.com/crime/inq2/phil…

There were coal-roasted prawns, khachapuri, juicy burgers, Kensington barbacoa and frosty coupes of absinthe ice cream. And yes, even a perfect simple green salad. It was such tasty year, but these were the best dishes I ate in 2023. inquirer.com/food/philly-foo…
