FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
For the record : A quick introduction...
It may be a bit hot outside (yes, I know that's an understatement), however,
there are still plenty of ways to keep cool and still have a great time
in the city.
As a local (born and raised), I still love exploring the city and all that it has to offer; hopefully, you do too! Though I may be "new" as editor, I've been with Campus Philly for some time now, writing to you about the various arts and entertainment events.
So sit back,
relax and enjoy the upcoming weekend festivities. Meanwhile, I'll be on
the look-out for all the local news that you want.
