Welcome to the Gator…

We got fun and games.
We’ve got everything you want….
As long as it’s The Triangle.
Welcome to the “Tales from the Gator” blog. Here we will chronicle the wondrous adventures of Obie & Jeff, the Triangle distribution team. Every Friday morning (ok, sometimes afternoon) we brave the unfathomable traffic of Drexel University and West Philadelphia to bring you the news. Not to discriminate — sports, op-ed and entertainment are probably in there too…unless it’s really windy.
The paper is so hot off the presses, it’s on fire! No, not really, but it would seem that way from the picture. What you’re actually seeing is a combination of diesel exhaust and steam. Meet the Gator, that magnificent six-wheeled, green vehicle that maneuvers its way to campus hot spots to bring you Drexel’s best and worst. If you have class on Fridays, there’s a good chance you may have already seen the Gator, crossing streets as a pedestrian, driving the wrong way down Market Street (hey, the sidewalk was closed for construction), and slowly tailing students as they ignore the fact that there is a vehicle behind them. What you may not have seen, though, is the hard work and dedication that is put into every delivery. Through rain, sleet, snow, and Septa, it is our mission to get The Triangle to you in any way possible.
So if you see us on a Friday, riding along, come say ‘Hi’. Come grab a paper. We aim to please. But most importantly, when we’re moving along at our 15 mph top speed, GET OUT OF OUR WAY!
Just kidding, Drexel, you know we love you…
