Seems people are having a lot of sex in Philly during DNC

Contrary to political convention lore, strip clubs close to the Democratic National Convention said business has been normal this week or even slow, perhaps as a result of traffic jams. "It's killing us," said a man who answered the phone at Club Risque in South Philadelphia.

But one place where business is booming: Tinder. The proximity based dating (or, if you prefer, hook-up) site crunched the numbers at our request and reports that Tinder use is up 54 percent in Philadelphia compared to last week.

That's a lot -- but not as much as in Cleveland, where usage increased 82 percent during the Republican National Convention.

Some options include: "I need someone to show me the best, and maybe second and third best" cheesesteaks, from a Canadian cinematographer; a conventioneer looking for "the best old fashioned in town"; and a photographer interested in "hot dates, you running your fingers through my hair, city fun, showers, wifi, electrical outlets, convention credentials, air conditioning." What an offer.
