My dad @Larry_Eichel left the @PhillyInquirer in 2008. He wrote the first draft of Jimmy Carter’s obit when I was 4. I’m now 39 and have been at the Inquirer for 14 years. Tomorrow will be his first A1 story in 16 years.

If you want to jump off the pollercoaster and hear directly from Pennsylvanians: “Beneath their words lies real unease, for the country, for themselves, their families, and the kind of future their hugely influential votes will launch.” https://t.co/5pNqlapZ99

inquirer.com
Up and down the Jersey Shore, buyers have been knocking down old, smaller homes and building McMansions. The owners of this historical Avalon home hope to find a buyer who won't demolish it.

Hannah was a dream to work with! All of the gold intern stars for Hannah!
Yesterday, I wrapped up my internship at the @PhillyInquirer on the now desk. I’m so happy that I got to cover so many topics like political rallies, windows falling from high-rise luxury apartments, and an emu that was on the loose in Bucks County!
