Plus, the street drama, the lawyer’s craze, Jason Kelce sings and more than the city is talking about right now.
The Philadelphia Orchestra was hoping to take a trip to China next May. That would be a momentous and historic occasion.
The Philadelphia Orchestra, the first orchestra from the United States of America to perform in China, in 1973. Because of tensions between our country and theirs, President Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger had to accept the trip. This original excursion went so well that China invited the Philadelphia Orchestra again and again, at most recently, for an excursion in 2019. The 2023 tour would have marked the 50th anniversary of the first excursion. Major projects were under way.
Unfortunately. . . The Philadelphia Orchestra will not be going to China in 2023. No, not for fear of COVID. Due to concerns about the Chinese government’s COVID policies. China’s policies are strict, among the strictest in the world. If you test positive for COVID while in China, you will be forced (and we mean forced) to self-isolate in the same position. for weeks. And if one of the members or 3 or ten test positive or if the director Yannick Nézet-Séguin himself does it, bad for the tour. And they would be trapped in China.
“It’s a little tricky to hike in those conditions,” a spokesman for the Philadelphia Orchestra told me, noting that they weren’t so sure the tour was going to work that the orchestra hadn’t announced it yet.
Do you know all the streeteries that have popped up all over the COVID place?The ones that stored a lot of business, especially when we weren’t allowed in or just didn’t feel comfortable doing so?Well, the city is about to crack down on them. , and it seems that many will have to disappear.
Uhhhh. . . I’ll leave it here.

I know it’s easy to stop by Amazon and get all kinds of Phillies gadgets to your door the next day. But what do you think of the local companies and artists that make the Phillies’ gadgets?If only there was a convenient list of local brands and their amazing Phillies team.

You know, as always with baseball, you need to see the last innings of a game?Can you join the back of the sixth and not much has happened?Not with the Phils on their last series or this one. I need to look from the beginning (even if the start is, uh, in the hours I work. . . ). Aaron Nola pitched for us last night, well, he won last night, with Blake Snell on the mound for the Padres. The Phils poured it in the inning of the moment, scoring 4 runs on a flurry of hits and some, uh, blatant lineups of their opponents. The Padres, however, received two backs in the back of the moment in solo home runs through Brandon Drury. and Josh Bell.
And that’s all everyone wrote at the end of the fifth, when the Padres crumbled in front of Nola and successive substitutes Brad Hand and Andrew Bellatti and brought the score to 7-4, and Bellatti received the final by cutting Trent Grisham. With the goals, yep, loaded. The Phils had a few hits afterward, but nothing else on the board until the eighth, when Rhys Hoskins hit a solo run on the first pitch through reliever Robert Suarez. Unfortunately, Manny Machado hit a solo run for the Padres in the back of the seventh, so he was now 8-5. In the back of the ninth, Padres reliever Josh Hader threw a hundred-mile-per-hour fastball to Alec Bohm, Jean Segura and Matt Vierling. Just like that, the screen was tied. Third game on Friday at Citizens Bank Park, which will be lit up. Our private opinion: Joe Davis talks too much. But he’s bigger than Joe Buck.
The Flyers played.
