OUT AND ABOUT
Bruce Springsteen and a man believed to be his son, Evan, stopped for Yuenglings at the Taggart House (9900 Frankford) Thursday afternoon before for the second of two Wells Fargo Center shows. We're told that while Springsteen was there, the jukebox played "Prove It All Night," which a patron selected before he came in.
Third Eye Blind singer Stephan Jenkins stopped at the Mexican Post (16th & Cherry) for dinner Friday before the group performed a free concert outside the new Xfinity Live! complex where the Spectrum used to be. Jenkins sat at the bar and once word spread about his presence (though we're surprised anyone really got that excited), he asked to have his meal packed up to go.
