Put this in the never-trust-a-weather-report category.

6ABC says the weather tomorrow will be as temperate as 70, with the high at 74.

CBS3′s forecast, like Weather.com‘s, says 90 or more. Who’s right? I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

Who is your favorite weather person? Anyone you trust? Who don’t you?

We’re in Washington, D.C. for the inauguration! Founder and Editor Shannon McDonald will be in D.C. until Wednesday covering Obama’s presidential inauguration.

Look for more NEast news on NEastPhilly.com and expect continuing coverage from D.C.

Are you going to the inauguration? Are you celebrating it? Let us know your plans. Leave a comment or e-mail NEast Mag to let us know what you’re doing.

Some changes are coming to NEastphilly.com.

We’ve got a few new interns we’re excited to introduce you to in the coming weeks, and they’ll bring with them more coverage and newer content.

Keep an eye out for our restaurant column, scheduled to run every other Thursday. Our food columnist will review NEast eateries and tell you which ones have the best deals, which offer the most diverse menus, and which are best to avoid.

We’ll also feature a profile on a NEast guy who just released his first album. You can read about his journey to the debut and get a taste of his music.

There’s much more to look forward to on NEastPhilly in 2009!
