I miss the early 2010s Philly media scene where everyone had blogs.
The blog I miss most, though, is "Philly Decline" a one-of-a-kind right wing blog about Philadelphia city council and Philly media.
Written by a guy named Aaron, it started out as a Philadelphia "Examiner" site. The owner/writer had an online radio show and I think was a professional wrestler.
Anyway, he once got called out by the Northeast Times and recorded a video of himself taunting the newspaper as his professional wrestling gimmick.
I remember he said (something like): "I wouldn't even use the Northeast Times to pick up dog shit -- because you can't pick up dog shit with dog shit."
Not sure why I thought of that just now. But I guess I've always thought that was pretty good as far as insults go.
Ok, gonna list Philly blogs from the early 2010s that are no longer with us. Feel free to add to this!
