Philly native Drew Olanoff was on a Philadelphia morning news show to talk about Drews diagnosis of Hodgkins Lymphoma. I’m no stranger to the tragedy of cancer as my aunt and uncle succumbed to it in recent years, not to mention I work in a hospital. But Drew is fighting this speed bump [...]

Crackhead Breakup on Philadelphia SEPTA Trolley

iconjohn@gmail.com (Jimmy CraicHead) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 01:07:42 +0000

I ran into a totally bizarre scene when I boarded a city bound trolley the other night. Now I’ve been riding SEPTA since 1972 and have seen a lot of kooks but this duo was crazy. It was already going on whe I boarded at 46th street but held off whipping out the Sanyo Xacti [...]

Well, it’s June of 2009 which means that we’re well underway with babies born in 1959 turning 50. And I’m on that list too! In just a little over 2 months I’ll be hitting the big “L” milestone so I’m enjoying my last summer in my forties. There was much hype last year when [...]

QuickTimeFlash I finally finished up one of the first videos I ever shot with the 2 piece RCA VCR and camera I bought in 1983. It was quite cumbersome by today’s standards and the battery life was quite short. My good friend Chris “Theo” Theodore led the interviews with some of Philly’s most colorful characters. The [...]

QuickTimeFlash Every time I travel to a place that has big water, I just love to find me a sailboat that takes people out for a good sailing trip. In Aruba my favorite sail is Mi Dushi, which I’ve done a number of times. This voyage is from Sail Freedom an incredible sail from a sailing [...]

QuickTimeFlash Demanda Diamond and I flew down to Tampa to visit some of her family over the Easter break and decided to make the 4 hour drive to St Augustine . I’d never been to St Augustine but knew how historical a city it was, dating back to the 1500’s. It’s a small town and most [...]

QuickTimeFlash My brother Andrew and I visit our dad’s grave who passed on tax day April 15th 2004. Nothing real heavy here, just a few minutes to pay tribute to Coffey loved ones. I’m guessing dad is rolling over in his grave upon hearing that neither Andrew or I knew the name of the cemetery [...]

Took Jonny Goldtein to rollerblade around the Philadelphia Art Museum and got him to pose with the Rocky statue. This gives me a chance to test out my Wordpress iPhone app too. Many thanks to Scott Stead for upgrading my Wordpress to allow this to happen.

QuickTimeFlash It was 9 degrees Fahrenheit in Philadelphia this morning but I bundled up as best I could and took the 10 minute trolley down to 30th Street Train Station to catch the launch of Whistle Stop Train ride for President Elect Barack Obama. Without getting into a big history lesson, this is the route that [...]

iconjohn@gmail.com (Jimmy CraicHead) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 20:12:28 +0000

QuickTimeFlash Well it’s taken 20 years but I finally started to edit the videos I shot at our summer shore house in Sea Isle City from the summer of 1988. There wasn’t much of a market for editing VHS movies for the regular consumer but thankfully, my tapes have held up for over 20 ears. I have [...]
