Addam Schwartz @addamschwartz.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Taking the opportunity to promote this book. It’s a terrific read about the players, the game, the times, and of course the city. 112
Addam Schwartz @addamschwartz.bsky.social · 22/07/2026At my first newspaper job, in Northeast Philadelphia, I interviewed a very nice man who said he knew where the fabled Fountain of Youth was. Because he had lived next door to Juan Ponce de Leon. In Northeast Philly. In the 1980s. The story landed him, and me, in a supermarket tabloid. 140

Addam Schwartz @addamschwartz.bsky.social · 19/01/2026Harmony Vegetarian Chinese, in Philadelphia’s Chinatown. I found it not long after I’d given up meat, and Harmony had the best vegetarian ham fried rice in the world. I still miss the wonton soup and the perfectly prepared eggplant in black bean sauce. 030

Addam Schwartz @addamschwartz.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Forty years ago. It was scorchingly hot, super crowded, and absolutely perfect. Tickets had gone on sale less than three weeks earlier, and I wrote about scoring mine for the weekly paper I worked for. (I also wrote about the show, but I can’t find the clip.) #liveaid #northeasttimes 0120
Addam Schwartz @addamschwartz.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Ringo at the Mann was everything I’d expected, and more. Watching an almost 85-year-old Beatle doing jumping jacks onstage was incredible in itself. But his band this time around was just amazing. Special props to co-drummer Greg Bissonette. And Hamish Stuart, who was anything but average. 030

Addam Schwartz @addamschwartz.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Harmony, a vegetarian Chinese restaurant in Philly, had a vegetarian ham fried rice that was perfection. And a place called Wiz Kid briefly made a vegan cheesesteak that made me forget I hadn’t had a real cheesesteak in 30 years. So good. Sigh. 070
Addam Schwartz @addamschwartz.bsky.social · 12/04/2025Back in the ‘70s, the Phillies’ Del Unser used to be a .400 hitter. You’d see his name in the agate list of NL leaders. In April. Then, tragically, came May, and June, and he would stop being Ted Williams and be Del Unser again. That’s why I’m not too worried about Alec Bohm. Yet. #phillies 050
