Just hanging out in the park on a beautiful fall morning.

If you know me, you know I positively adore Phillies throwback jerseys. Heck, I own three of them personally. My first was a powder blue Mike Schmidt ’76 throwback, followed by a ’76 Carlton home jersey. Got a Burrell rookie jersey for my 33rd birthday this year. (Pat broke into the league wearing 33.) So you know I cannot tell you how excited I am to stop in and drop some coin in Mitchell & Ness’ new flagship store at 1201 Chestnut. The pictures of their new spot are simply glorious! T-minus Christmas and counting until I grab a sweet Robin Roberts home jersey or this amazing Philadelphia Quakers throwback.

Watch Mayor Nutter open the shop in style in the video above.

Chatted with the sweet crew from Black Cab Sessions tonight after work outside First Unitarian Church. Not sure I was really able to articulate Philadelphia’s music scene, but I gave it a shot. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Not half bad, huh? If I’m going to be at work after dark, I can at least enjoy lovely sunsets like this one.

It was amazing! Beautiful weather goes perfectly with great beer and people. Had a lot of fun.

What did I drink? (Looks at list.) Keep in mind they were 6 oz. cups. Otherwise I’d probably still be laying in the biergarten.

Listed in no particular order:

• Allagash Confluence
• Cigar City Maduro Brown Ale
• Dogfish Head Bitches Brew
• Dogfish Head Saison du Buff
• Green Flask Le Freak
• Harpoon Wet Hop
• Ommegang Cup o’ Kyndnes
• Sly Fox Keller Helles
• Victory Saison du Buff

Jesse cooked up some marvelous food, too. I wolfed down his choucroute garnie. What’s that. Think meat plate. It was Boudin blanc, ribs, pork belly, kielbasy, potatoes and kraut. Hearty. Just what the doctor ordered.
