PhillySpeak.com: Canada Geese, Homeless, Fairmount Park Phila. Sub-urban:

...We as Philadelphians have to step up and do better. I know we were doing pretty well, and the mayor has been praised for his efforts toward helping Matthew, Mary, John, Catherine, and our other outdoor living neighbors.

But like our overly generous sub-urban do gooders, we, too, can have a double win. We can feed our own homeless and reduce the pesky Canadian Geese population destroying Fairmount Park river banks. It just makes sense."

We're pleased to announce the latest Featured Blog poll winner, Civil Defense.

With the worthy distraction of Missing Monday, our regular bi-weekly introduction to a new Featured Blog may have gotten pushed back a couple days, but we certainly didn't forget about our latest winner, I've Made a Huge Tiny Mistake.

The musings of a lifelong Philadelphian, Huge Tiny Mistake regularly focuses on half of the major sports franchises (Sixers and Phillies, in their respective seasons), as well as other entertainment-related items. Please be sure to visit, and don't be shy about taking part in the discourse of the day.

We also encourage you to join the Philly Featured Blog Storm by highlighting I've Made a Huge Tiny Mistake on your own blog, as several Philly Futurists did for our latest Featured Blog alum, Welcome to Phillyville. And while you're add it, why not add both sites to your blogroll?
