My Bread Crumbs

What I took away from The Philadelphia Inquirer:

I thought that the P.I looks like a skinnier, less charasmatic little sister of the New York Times. It does an adequate job (but nothing beyond that) of reporting the news without noticeable bias. It is a bit short on the worldwide news, and leans too much on "shock-value" stories like TWO FACE CHARGES IN HEROIN TRAFFICKING. Other than that, it does well to report local phenomenons that huge newspapers like the NY Times can't do so well.

Why: I want to try this tea house. I'm an ardent lover of tea and warm drinks (minus coffee. Sorry) and cute pastries. Apparently this place has a dog too. Want to go get a feel for the atmosphere and try their chai. We can work on our essays in there too, or just read a book.
