Tinsel & Tine Highlight: TEASSERT BAR By Editor, Le Anne Lindsay Originating from Thailand, Ice Cream Rolls are becoming a popular dessert in the US, with Ice cream roll bars trending in New York last summer, and this summer in Philly. Best place to go for Ice Cream Rolls is Teassert Bar in Chinatown (227 N. 10th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107) because their rolls are made with all natural ingredients, no powders, nothing artificial, no coloring agents.

Philly Spotlight: FOUNDING FOOTSTEPS

Did you know the seat of our government would most likely have remained in Philadelphia if it had not been for Banker Stephen Girard’s ships bringing Yellow Fever to the city?

Podcast Movie Blog Post: GHOSTBUSTERS 2016
Tinsel & Tine’s Look at the New Ghostbusters by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor When it comes to blockbusters to hit theaters this summer, I was most excited to see X-men: Apocalypse, Captain America: Civil War, and the female version of GHOSTBUSTERS starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and for eye candy Chris Hemsworth. As a kid in 1984, I was as in love with the original Ghostbusters as the rest of the nation. And I’m sure at some point I watched it again in the 90’s; but when I tried to watch it again this past weekend (had to pay $1.99, can’t believe Netflix didn’t have it…
