Leftovers: Philly, By Way Of Bristol

• The New York Times did a little travel piece on Philadelphia in yesterday's issue; here's the article and the corresponding video. Your job as a Philadelphian is to read these articles and get unnecessarily angry at something the Times wrote or filmed. Best part of the video: When Philly's status as an "art city" is spoken about, the Dirty Frank's mural is shown. [NYT]

• Ahh, yes, it's Cyber Monday, the day when Internet businesses tell us that today is the day when everyone shops online and the news media follows suit with a billion stories about how everyone is shopping! Online! Whee! [KYW 1060]

• Wilkes-Barre: Not in the Poconos. The town's residents sure to love legalized gambling, though! [Daily News]

• The longtime mayor of Bath, Pennsylvania, has been arrested for stealing $9k from the Roman Catholic church she was secretary of. To toss her out of office would be like throwing the baby out.. oh, nevermind. [AP/6 ABC]

• The Willow Grove Mall was evacuated Saturday after a fire started in a women's clothing store on the third floor. No one was hurt, but 10 pairs of Steve Maddens were not so lucky. [Doylestown Intelligencer]

• Cherry Hill's township council has canceled a vote concerning some sort of new porn shop ordinance. Gasp! What exciting turn will this story take next? [Camden Courier-Post]

• Update, 5:50 p.m.: The Phillies have signed free agent pitcher Adam Eaton to a three-year deal worth around eight mil a year, or one million per earned run he'll give up per nine innings this season with the Phils' luck. [ESPN.com]
