Another in a series of who, what, when and where you should be…
Thanks to my anonymous tipster last night who sent me a photo of Former President Joe Biden leaving Stephen Starr’s new eatery Borromini. It was popular on IG last night garnering 60ks views, DURING the Eagles game. Which was surprising. I guess we all can multitask.
It was a family affair with Dr Jill Biden, the President, daughter Ashley and the grand kids, all on hand to celebrate Finnegan James Biden’s birthday. Finnegan is the second child of Hunter Biden and Kathleen Buhle. I hear the former president entered through the back door with Jill (I once photographed Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson leaving through the back door of Barnes & Noble, so I know exactly where that is), the rest of the family went through the front door for their 6:30pm reservation.
Stephen Starr event stopped by the table and chitchatted.
It seems Ashley Biden left a note on Stephen Starr’s
daughter Sarah Starr’s IG the evening before saying they’d be going to dinner the following night.
No thanks to the people who told me they knew they’d be there, didn’t tell me, but needed to add their two cents in my DM’s after seeing my IG post. I almost went last night because I thought it’d be easier to get a reservation against the Eagles opening night.
In other news, congratulation to former NBC10 anchor, reporter Frances Wang, who is living her dream job at ABC7 News in the Bay area, not to far from where she grew up. She’d always tell me she wanted to return to California to be closer to her family, and cover the news in an area she knew well, and cared so much for. So happy for her!!
It’s time to say goodbye to another friendly face:
After 2 years, my time at Fox 29 has ended! It’s home, familiar, comfortable, and brought me so much joy. I grew as a reporter, made lifelong friends, was nominated for an Emmy, & did countless impactful stories. I’m forever grateful for the experience to work at the station I interned at nearly 10 years ago. However, it’s time for a new chapter that challenges me & provides more opportunities. Here’s to what’s next ✌🏿👀 Cheyenne Corin

She won the 2018 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition and represented the United States as a cultural ambassador with American Music Abroad in 2019, and last night she performed at the Eagles game singing “Lift Every Voice!” before the start of the game. I can see a lot of folks dressed to the nines running along the Parkway to catch each of these fabulous shows.

What a beautiful tribute to my friend Carol Saline, who truly was everyone’s friend. Philly Mag alum Lisa DePaulo wrote a moving piece using an unpublished photo I took (one I’d only shared with Carol and Paul). Reading it makes me wish I’d kept sending in photo columns after my column was cut—proof that people do value these moments, even two months after said event. PS She was let go at one point, but kept showing up for work, eventually they rehired her. LOL
Read this article and you will see what I mean. https://www.phillymag.com/news/2025/09/05/carol-saline-obituary/
That’s it for now. Have a great weekend. I’m heading to AC to the Hard Rock Casino where they host and sponsor The Out of The Darkness walk tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing my friends, including Fox29’s Good Day traffic and all around nice guy, Bob Kelly, who is MCing. Look for my coverage here, on CBSPhilly and on Social Media, where now I have a collaborative partnership with Fox29 and my content appears on their Instagram as well.
Socially Yours, xoxo HughE
