Recap: PHLFOODSTAGRAM ROOF PARTY
Got invited to cover the 2nd Annual PHLFoodstagram Event featuring West Avenue Grille Restaurant in Jenkingtown. The event was aimed at super young Philly Influencers, but I got to be included as the old-head of the PHL Blogging world. The Rooftop of the Sterling Apartments on 18th & JFK is an awesome setting. It was one of those perfect temperature, soft end of summer evenings, and the views of the city were spectacular.

Me and the MCU
Tinsel & Tine Joins Marvel (MCU) Panel at the Franklin Institute By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor As you’ve probably seen in several places on the blog, I became a member of the Philadelphia Film Critics Circle (PFCC) in May of 2019. The Association is still new – 2 years (comparatively the NYFCC started in 1935) and most major cities have a similar film association begun at various times, but for some reason, not Philadelphia; until fellow Philly critics Rich Heimlich and Stephen Silver got together to start one here. As a writer/blogger/journalist it helps to have an affiliation around you in this business in terms of credibility, getting interviews, film…
