Just as one former staffer from The Temple News is leaving Philadelphia Weekly (Kia Gregory, Class of 2003 and former Opinion Editor, is off to the Inquirer this week), another of our own is getting what I think is her first cover story since joining the staff.

Erica Palan, Class of 2007 and former Opinion writer, who is now Listings Editor at PW, wrote last week’s cover story on a Philly designer who is apparently making “vintage cool again.”

Check it here.

And for Erica, why not recall the last commentary piece she wrote for The Temple News, on the bullying of gay and lesbian adolescents.
