TIP (#17 OF 19)

 On our X account @Wikidelphia1, I (staff editor Paul) re-post various events in Philly. Most aren't political, but some are. The political ones do not imply endorsement. What we do endorse is your going out and enjoying something in person. When looking at an event post, I ask:

1. Is the event in-person?
2. Is it within the city limits?
3. Is it at least 24 hours in the future?

 If the answers are all "Yes", then it qualifies, and I leave it up to you to decide whether you like it and want to go there.
 All of the Tips that appear in this section of the Main Page can be seen in one view on the All Tips page.
