Editor's Letter
Should we ignore what happens in our front yard?
by Brian Howard
While the story does revolve around an incident between Officer Kevin Corcoran and drunk reveler Michael Foley, at the heart of the piece is the always-tricky business of police accountability — the old trope of "Who watches the watchmen?"

"Evidently the government is under sway of pragmatism akin to nature."


Choosy diners probably won't choose Chew Man Chu.
by David Snyder
These Asian plates are meant to be shared — but they're also designed to be accessible for unadventurous eaters. In other words, if authenticity is your sole yardstick, Chew's food will fall short.

Burger Maestro
by Drew Lazor
The music-themed Maestro boasts a taut selection of prime burgers, chicken breast sandwiches and all-beef frankfurters split down the middle and dressed up with whatever you can imagine.

The only disappointing thing about Solo, a Chinatown restaurant serving super-cheap Chinese street food, is the other customers. They cook more than a dozen different skewers, but all we kept hearing was, "Can I get chicken?" For shame! Our favori »»

THEATER REVIEW: Philadelphia Theatre Co.'s Golden Age

Golden Age, receiving its world première at Philadelphia Theatre Co., never really arrives.

Architects envision more than condos when they look at Philly's industrial bones.
by Andrew Thompson
Where many developers once saw an opportunity to cram as many high-paying tenants into a building as possible, others are beginning to see potential anchors of communities — just what those industrial buildings were in the first place. The Philadelphia Center for Architecture's upcoming exhibit, "Retooling Industrial Sites," reveals this new creed borne out.

They do. That's the problem.
by Andrew Thompson
He was an asshole who'd had way too much to drink and was looking for a fight, and in a different scenario with different characters and different magnitudes, Michael Foley may have deserved a fraction of what ended up coming to him. But it would have been only a fraction, and it wouldn't have been doled out by a cop.

Man Overboard!
Beneath Pennsylvania's forests lies a treasure worth billions of dollars.
by Isaiah Thompson
A March 2009 memo warned that too much leasing would "scar the economic, scenic, ecological and recreational values of the forest," and that "a rush to drill threatens the certification of our state forests as sustainably managed." They did it anyway.

Charlotte Gainsbourg's IRM
by J. Edward Keyes
The album is called IRM, an acronym for Imagerie par Résonnance Magnétique — what Americans know as an MRI — and, appropriately, its subject matter is a combination of the revealing and the inscrutable.

The real gems at this year's Sundance came when no one expected them.
by Sam Adams
The festival's programmers deliberately front-load the opening weekend for maximum coverage, which means that come Monday, the only way to get a fancy new coat or a bag full of pricey skin cleanser is to (gasp!) buy one.

City Paper Grade: B-
by Sam Adams
Although it feigns literary prestige, Michael Hoffman's chronicle of Leo Tolstoy's last days is little more than a gilded trifle.
