I was 7 and in Philadelphia. I'd lost my two front teeth and couldn't say Bicentennial. Everything was red, white, and blue. There were lots of fireworks. I saw "1776" with most of the original cast on Penn's Landing. There was some sort of festival every weekend. Good times.

it’s funny how sometimes you buy a book, then read it in two days, and sometimes you buy a book and it lives on your bookshelf for 12 years.

We talked to nearly 100 people about youth sports in New Jersey and found a predatory industry that is leaving parents broke, exhausted and wondering how the games of their childhood took over their adult lives. Our six-month investigation: nj.com/sports/2026/05/the-sh…

GenXer here. Mom was a teacher so I had someone home over the summer. But if I wanted to spend the day hanging out in the library or go to a movie or take the bus to Center City, Mom would say OK and read a murder mystery

Reasons why 'Three Little Bops' (1957) is a timeless masterpiece... • Jazz-scored retelling of 'The Three Little Pigs'. • Friz Freleng’s most seamless fusion of animation and music with Jazz not as soundtrack, but as narrative spine. • Shorty Rogers’ score driving the whole short with irresistible swing, while Stan Freberg’s sly, rhythmic narration (a rare non–Mel Blanc vocal credit) gives the piece its voice without a single line of dialogue.

Regarding the No One Ate Out Before 200 debate In a country of over 300m people, has it occurred to you that there will be a wide range of experiences?

I am seriously starting to form the opinion that boys are doing a lot worse in school than they were 20 years ago because of you people. “Sitting quietly and listening to the teacher is girl behavior” can become a self-fulfilling prophesy you know.

The guy who invented Peeps has one of the most interesting stores I’ve ever heard: Sam Born was a Russian Jewish immigrant who studied to become a rabbi in Ukraine. - Came to America. Made candy instead. - Named his company "Just Born", a pun on his last name plus the fact he made everything fresh daily. - In 1953, it took 27 hours to make one tray of Peeps with 80 workers spooning marshmallow into molds by hand. - Sam's son Bob automated it down to 6 minutes. Same machine design still runs today. Today they make 2 billion Peeps a year. All out of Bethlehem, PA. #1 non-chocolate Easter candy for 20 years. Russian Jewish immigrant studying to be a rabbi accidentally builds most iconic Easter candy in America out of a town called Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Maybe the most American story I've ever heard.
