Happy 20,000th Twitter Follower today. And as I built up my twitter (& instagram) following over the past 6 years, I sometimes neglected my blog and posted a lot of what used to be tidbits that I used to post here on PhillyChitChat. Over the past few months I’ve run into readers and they’ve told me they miss seeing those items on PCC as well as #WoofWoofWednesday; Going forward I’m going to post these tidbits again, a couple times a week, everyday at 3PM I’m going to publish an additional fun column for you to enjoy (Today though I’m publishing this much earlier.) Thank you for the feedback specifically yesterday Joan, Megan and Suzan who I ran into yesterday and told me they aren’t on SM, they get all their news from PhillyChitChat.
Wednesday night VH1 debuted the new season of Mob Wives. It’s interesting that the show seems to be hell bent on having another Philly Mob Wife on the show and they’ve added Natalie DiDonato who is thoroughly a serious South Philly born and bred Italian women with a point of view. Here she is posing with fans at the screening of the first episode of the show.
Lots of her friends, and family were on hand to support her.
The screening was held at Voltage in the Spring Garden section of the City. The first episode even had a few of our friends on it including Antoine Johnson and Kharisma McIlwaine
Natalie “Don’t Mess With Me” DiDonato , which reminds me Natalie Guercio was spotted in my condo’s lobby yesterday, maybe going to Little Pete’s who knows. Unfortunately I wasn’t home.

Yesterday I was at the Walgreen’s at Broad and Chestnut Streets. I saw these cute hats, they were only $12.99 and so adorable. I posted them on Instagam and they were huge hit, so hurry over there and pick one up. Some are downstairs near cash register, but I saw a few upstairs too.
In September I tweeted that Target Express had been sneaking about Market East looking to open a Target Express. Last night it was on NBC10, so they must be getting closer to locking in a location. Yeah!
I went to Opa restaurant for lunch. Hadn’t been there in awhile. It was as delicious as always. I also had a gyro, so, so good.
