Goodbye to 2016, we can certainly say without hesitation…

We may not have felt much love for this passing year, but we shared affection and opinion with our fellows at the last Publetters of the year, in the comfy confines of Doobies Bar, 22nd & Lombard Sts. We wrote … Continue reading

The Final Publetters of 2016!

Last Tuesday we marked the Publetters-Before-Christmas with a nice stack of handwritten mail.  We reached out to the Naughty (Pauly Shore), the Nice (Frank Ocean), the Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and the Outright Disgusting (Donald Trump) – and of course, to … Continue reading

Holiday letter writing at Doobies Bar

Let us note that we are not perfect, no we are not, by a long shot. Maybe even a city block. That’s how far we tried to move Doobies Bar – which is and has always been at 22nd & … Continue reading

Farewell (for a while) to Chestnut Hill

Tonight, take shelter from the (warmish) rain inside the snug confines of McNally’s Tavern, very near the highest point in Philadelphia. We will lay out the pens and stationery and US Postal Service stamps very near to 7 p.m. and go … Continue reading

We’ll Keep On Writing Letters, That’s One Thing We Shall Do.

Joe BIDEN–you just keep being you, OK?  … is perhaps what it says inside this one, written earlier this week. We didn’t stop there; we wrote to Salcha, AK, for the first time ever, and we didn’t forget about the Tavern … Continue reading

BOO! We’re almost done at Local 44

Each Tuesday at LOCAL 44, we’ve come up with more and more letters, including this one below, that shows love can be a bit scary at times. We scarcely had time to finish our Yards IPA, hand-pumped out of the basement … Continue reading

“… to Boldly Go… To MANAYUNK…”

The atmosphere at Lucky’s Last Chance is nearly identical to that of Earth – or “Center City”, as some call it.  There is a surface transport hub operated by S.E.P.T.A. just a short distance from Lucky’s. Our group will gather to take … Continue reading

Manayunk is like, a Thing!

We came, we saw, we drawed! Yes, it was better in the original Latin, we know. In our debut at Lucky’s Last Chance, which overlooks Manayunk’s urbane Main Street, we made a very brisk start right out of the gate. We filled out … Continue reading

JUST ONE PUBLETTERS in AUGUST…
