Storming of the Bastille: The annual storming of the Bastille is the festival’s main act each year, when dozens of French revolutionaries, armed with muskets and cannons, and singing “La Marseilles,” storm the grim walls of “the Bastille” (Eastern State Penitentiary) and drag “Marie Antoinette” (Terry McNally, co-owner of Fairmount‘s London Grill) to a real, functioning guillotine built for the occasion.
Position yourself below the raining-down of 2,000 Butterscotch Krimpets from the prison’ medieval towers. The storming takes place at 5:30.

The Corner American Cuisine
102 South 13th Street,
Philadelphia, PA
My first attempt at venturing over to The Corner did not go so well. There was a line out the door and the polite yet firm hostess would not even let me up the stairs. Good thing I never take no for an answer 
. As soon as she walked away from the host stand, I made a bee line up the stairs and fell in love. I am a sucker for al fresco dining, but throw in a birds eye view of the 13th St. shenanigans and I am SOLD! In defense of the hostess *who btw was completely telling the truth*….the entire patio and upstairs bar were both jam packed. So I reluctantly left, shook an angry fist @ The Corner and vowed to return and conquer another day *mwaaahahahahah* . Annnd that is exactly what I did. *Insert 70 degree day* and picture me standing in front of The Corner at 4:45pm….by 4:55 there was a line behind me. Yep…BEHIND me..I held my place at the front of the line with all the grace of a 3rd grader who knows she was first and dares anyone to challenge her. I ended up getting my choice of seating and I of course choose the table with the view.
Perfect for people watching
Great Menu
The food was really good. I also ordered pork belly sliders, but Sadiyyah started eating them before I could get a good picture…lol. The wings were great..we actually ended getting 2 orders
Sweet & Spicy Wings
Lady Belladona
One of my Besties... Sadiyyah
Yours Truly
The Corner was great, however I recommend that you are standing at the door at 4:50pm if you want to get in. It certainly gives an air of exclusivity which is cool if you make it in, but not so much if you don’t. Try it out and let me know what you think……Cheers Honey!
Join WPGC and El Zol 99.1 on April 30th 2011, as they present Operation Pretty and Polished! The Washington DC based radio stations in conjunction with State Farm insurance are heading up a terrific initiative where they will be outfitting local teenagers in **FREE** prom attire. If you know of a teen in need of prom attire, please direct them to:
The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington DC
This event will take place between the hours of 9am-3pm.
How can you help? I’m glad that you asked 
. You can donate prom attire to State Farm Insurance 1500 Thomas Harris Way N. E Washington, DC between the hours of 6:30am-3pm. Most of us have been in a wedding or 3 (if you’re anything like me) so this is a great opportunity to get rid re-purpose your bridesmaid gowns! We all remember how important the prom was, I hate to think that someone will miss this important rite of passage simply because they don’t have something to wear. So dig deep folks, clean those closets, scan the sales racks and let’s get these teenagers ready for prom!
