Know a house in the Northeast that can rival this one? Send a photo!
Now that’s you’ve had your first taste of the holidays with our Northeast Christmas Carol, it’s time for you to get involved.
Following the success of our Halloween Photo Contest, we’ll be hosting a similar Holiday Contest. Just like last time, we want your silliest, cutest, most outrageous photos — of the holiday sort. Whether your house is covered top to bottom in lights, your dog makes a great Rudolph impersonator or someone you know makes the best-looking cookies, submit your photos! continue reading »
Thanksgiving is over, and though many people had their holiday decorations up early this year, the NEast Philly staff wanted to wait for the official beginning of the season. So we give to you The 12 Days of NEastmas, a Northeast version of a classic holiday song.
You can click below for an instrumental version of the song, with our original NEast-y lyrics. Tip: start singing at about 17 seconds, and follow the lyrics to the tune and pattern of 12 Days of Christmas.
Just a reminder that submission for the Halloween Photo Contest are due tonight at 10 p.m. The first 10 people to send in their photos will receive NEPHL car stickers, and the grand prize winner gets a gift certificate to a fine Italian restaurant.
Halloween is Saturday! Seems like only yesterday we were writing about pools being open for the summer. But now that the first official Fall holiday is upon us, we want your photos.
Send us your scariest, silliest, most outrageous Halloween photos. They could be this year’s, or decades old – we want them all. This contest is open to all types of photos: costumes, jack-lanterns, pets and decorations. The first 10 people to send in their photos will receive a NEast Philly car sticker (pictured below – and no worries, it’s easily removable.) continue reading »

Responses ranged from specific things like Pennypack Park to more general things like our many restaurants and central locations. Here are a few great replies: continue reading »
This event is open to all civic organization leaders, and the public is encouraged to get involved. If you’d like to come, get there early, as seating is limited. If you have questions for the candidates regarding their campaigns for the city controller position and how their plans will affect you and your community, come and get involved.
For those who can’t make it next week, we will post a place for you to ask your questions, which we’ll then compile into a list for the debate night. Minutes from the forum will be inlcuded in a follow-up story on NEastPhilly.com after the debate.
This is a great opportunity to make a bigger name for the NEast within the city. This is the first of two city controller debates in the city, which was spearheaded by our Web Editor, Chris Wink. The Democratic primary election is Tuesday, May 19. To make an informed vote, get the answers you’re looking for straight from the candidates at our debate next Thursday.
