Not enough for you to do during syllabus week? See how long it takes for you to get Bingo.
One day, I came home to some sort of hipster who possessed knowledge of medication–free treatments. He was carrying this strange, golden, water–can–looking thing, which he filled with saline water. Then, he asked me to go with him to the bathroom.
I love to call my mom. Often. For many reasons. Maybe I'm just a mama's boy. Maybe I rely on parental guidance a little too heavily. I'm a (relatively) long ways away from my home in Texas, and I've gotta keep in touch in the ways I can. FaceTime is all I've got. No train rides home to Long Island for me. Sometimes, it's hard for me to convey my feelings without breaking into Sandy Cheeks' hit song "I Wanna Go Home."
On weekend nights, when an ambulance with blaring siren and flashing lights rushes down Spruce Street, pedestrians who witness this fleeting vehicle might assume that the ambulance is heading to the frat houses on campus. Unbeknownst to them, a group of Pennsylvania state–certified emergency medical technicians (EMT) are probably already there. These bicycle–riding EMTs in red shirts represent Penn’s Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT). They are full–time students, and they do more than just emergency medical service.
Four years of being on the Undergraduate Assembly has made Michael Krone the perfect spokesperson on how to better improve student life at Penn. He always sees the cup half full and is passionate about empowering student groups on campus. And although he knows anything and everything about student life at this school, he still hasn't been to the Philo Halls (anyone want to show him around?). He told Street about his experience with the UA, his agenda for the upcoming year, and his experience at Penn.
When it comes to performing arts at Penn, Nick Hunsicker, who uses they/them/theirs pronouns, has done it all. A night owl and falafel truck regular, Nick practically lives in the Platt Performing Arts Center when they're not serving as an RA in the Quad. The busy senior sat down with Street to discuss where they've been and where they're going next.
Good morning University City! I hope that it's morning when you're reading this, but if not that's okay. I don't get around to picking up a copy of Street until I roll out of my post–sending–Street–to–the–publisher slumber at noon on Wednesday and stumble over to the newspaper rack in front of Allegro. But regardless of your sleep schedule, I'm glad you picked up Street!
By the counter of Avril 50 stands a man with thick, black-trimmed glasses. He isn’t a man of many words, but lots of his customers know his name—John Shahidi.
A minimalistic, modern new spot on campus, &pizza, recently opened in the former spot of Capogiro (ed. note: RIP) at 3925 Walnut Street.

We can all agree that the period of time at Penn between spring and summer break is an absolute blur; we arrive back to school, hit the ground running, and suddenly the year is over. If you blink, you might miss it—and along with it, other essential things (read: food–and–drink–related things) happening in University City from March to May.
I never really understood my mom’s affinity for psychics. She renounced Ouija boards as a portal to dark spirits, but she once told me that she saw a psychic with a friend in 1994. I imagine the scene in the back room of a storefront in coastal Connecticut, candles wafting, an old mystic draped in cotton. The psychic lays down the tarot, and sees a small boy in the cards—a youngest son yet to be born, with some chronic medical condition. My mom feigns concern.
