“Philadelphia’s favorite columnist” (Philadelphia Magazine), Clark DeLeon wrote “The Scene,” a beloved daily column in The Philadelphia Inquirer, for 20 years. In 2012, DeLeon returned to the Inquirer with a column entitled “A thousand heartfelt reasons to love Philadelphia” and a mission: “To love my city out loud. To help you love our city the way I do, by describing it the way I feel it, see it, experience it.” He is a longtime commentator on local news stations and teaches at Montgomery County Community College. A “sage of Pennsylvania” (Los Angeles Times), DeLeon is the author of four books, including the Curiosity Series, a guide to quirky people, roadside oddities, and offbeat phenomena in the Keystone State. His new book is the fourth volume in the series.
