We’re not sure yet how many made the switch after. By the NumbersĤ2: Percentage of Philadelphians who drank bottled water instead of tap water before the recent chemical spill. Well, Jeff, after weeks of bad news, culminating in Helen Gym’s Friday poll, you finally get some good news. But as of Monday morning, while the site is still active, it no longer shows up on the first page of Google. And then Domb’s campaign made a Google AdWords buy to make the link as prominent as possible. Domb told me he set up the site, which calls Brown unethical, dishonest and unqualified to be mayor. Allan Domb was the candidate to thank for that. If you searched his name, the top result was a link to an anti-Jeff Brown website. Good luck! Jeff Brown No Longer Seems to Have a Google Problemįor the entirety of the month of April and at least as recently as Friday, ShopRite mogul Jeff Brown had himself a bit of a Google problem. Not sure where to go? Fortunately, we’ve got this handy guide to the best Mother’s Day brunches in Philly. Which means you probably should have already made reservations at Mom’s favorite restaurant. Speaking of Deadlines …Ī very important PSA: Mother’s Day is on Sunday. In Philadelphia, go to Room 140 at City Hall. Or, if you want to get the whole thing done in one fell swoop, you can show up at your county’s voting office, apply for the ballot, get it, fill it out, and hand it in. If you’re planning to vote using a mail-in or absentee ballot in next Tuesday’s primary, you need to know that the deadline to apply for said ballot is tomorrow at 5 p.m. The thought of this happening a second or third or fourth time seems unthinkable. You would think this infraction would cause all the attendees to double-check their own phones. Everybody is looking around, wondering who the barbaric offender is. And I also have to keep in mind that when Beethoven and Mozart were playing their pieces, they were not doing so in absolute silence. But we are also doing something with an audience, which means human beings, and things can happen. We are in the world of music, for which, yes, science and concentration are really, really important. Mostly, I feel like it’s my responsibility to almost pretend that I didn’t hear it, to help the musicians stay focused. Once, in Montreal, I stopped, and we went all the way back to the beginning of the symphony. And then we’ll back up a few minutes and start again. I have been in performances when this happens, and I just stop the orchestra and wait for the ringing to end. I later asked Nézet-Séguin about this cell-phone rudeness in this 2022 interview with the maestro. And in this case, cell phones interrupted the music four times. Could we get through the performance without a cell-phone ring piercing the air? No, no, we could not. And the orchestra’s guest of honor that night was none other than Yo-Yo Ma. This was the first in-person performance after COVID shut down concerts the world over. This wasn’t just any Philadelphia Orchestra concert. The most egregious example I’ve personally witnessed came in October 2021. And, let’s be real, once is one too many. I’ve witnessed this lack of cell-phone etiquette one too many times at Philadelphia Orchestra performances.
