Tipster Paige Rubin informs us that Woodland Walk is once again open. Finally, we can get to the Vet School from Spruce faster! Pass things through the Nipple more efficiently! Um… visit Stouffer? Regardless of what business you have on this thoroughfare, there are still fences and construction gear a-plenty, so you’ll have to wait a little longer for that perfect scenic stroll.
34th Street Editor-in-Chief Sarah Beth McKay sends us this photo from Philadelphia International Airport circa 4:30 a.m., just as the snow began to fall. We don’t even want to know what the crowds will look like later today. On that note, good luck!

Students on the Button, 1987.

Gabe Martinez’s Photo I class poses on the no-longer-graffiti-covered Button.

With sororities hosting Panhel-mandated open houses this weekend, we at UTB find this photo oh-so-appropriate. How fly were the ladies of the now-defunct Kappa Kappa Gamma, circa 1930? The hats! The shoes! The mink! They put today’s Ugg-loving, Longchamp-toting sorostitutes to shame.

Don’t worry ICA Intercom, we’re not that kind of blog. We respect you. (Whoever stole the “ON” – thank you so much.)

Back in the day, students would perform a “snake dance” on Franklin Field after every football victory. Weird. But at least we know what we should be doing tomorrow.
This new advertising campaign is really challenging the idea that Cream & Sugar is sketchy. It’s a proven fact that nothing attracts customers like the promise of an encounter with a carnivorous reptile!
It’s just like the saying goes: a spongebath a day keeps the pain of being treated like a urinal away, while also helping to control the odor and delay corrosion of the metal.

Tipster Emily Kaplan sent in this photo of some kids playing leap frog outside of Smoke’s. Sure beats beer pong!
According to a tipster, a septic tank has overflowed on Spruce St. No more info yet. We’d do some research, but we’re too busy wondering why that cyclist chose to go directly through the puddle, and whether or not he will ever smell normal again.
Get at us in the comments if you know what’s up, or if you can tell us how the flood has impacted your life.

Tipster Preston Hershorn sent in this picture of a chicken handing out fliers on Locust Walk. Apparently said chicken is shilling for PETA. Well, that’s effective.

In honor of last weekend’s “Talk Like a Pirate Day” and this weekend’s pirate party, we bring you this awesome photo of three Penn students en route to the “Pirate’s Ball” in 1939. Yes, even 70 years ago Penn knew how to throw slutty pirate-themed parties. Thank you, University Archives.

Thank you, Hummus. Now we definitely want to eat your balls.
