My Trip to Scooped Ice Cream & Gelato in Media, PA

Author Matty Cord

Is there anything in this world that is better than ice cream and music ā€“ especially over Memorial Day Weekend, the unofficial start to summer?

I doubt it!

And, apparently, the owners of the nice establishment I went to over the weekend did as well when they decided to open up a shop combining the two worlds!

The place is called Scooped and it is right in the heart of State Street in downtown Media, Pennsylvania!

As the name suggests, their first priority is whipping up some amazing homemade ice cream, and trust me, it is some of the best I have ever had in my life!

But they also buy, sell, and trade vinyl records as well!

They have new records, used records, and even classic records from Sonic Youth all the way to Wynton Kelly!

You canā€™t go wrong stopping by this place whenever you are in the area!

They have been selected as a finalist in the ā€œBest of the Main Lineā€ 2023 edition and for good reason.

Not only is their ice cream top-notch, but the service is also fantastic.

There is a reason Scooped is a fan favorite during Mediaā€™s Dining Under the Stars every summer, with the line practically out the door with people eager to get their favorite flavor!

I had the chance to meet the owner of Scooped, Kyle, and he could not have been any nicer.

My buddy and former great for the Philadelphia Flyers, Joe Watson, actually introduced me to Kyleā€™s shop over the weekend.

It turns out Kyle is actually a big fan of WMGK, funnily enough.

Well, now I am a fan of his and his shop!

I canā€™t recommend the place strongly enough, so go check it out if you are in the area!

Whether you choose their handcrafted gourmet ice cream, gelato, or sorbet, there is no way you can go wrong!

The perfect summer treat!

Behind The Scenes Working The Taylor Swift Philadelphia Concert

What a Show!

Over the weekend, a few concerts took place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday down at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philly.

It was a tiny artist that not too many people know about, and there definitely were not close to 100,000 people in and outside the stadium enjoying each show.

And by that, I mean the BIGGEST artist in the world currently and there were absolutely that many people surrounding the Linc and in their seats enjoying the show!

Yes, Taylor Swift was in town over the weekend and it was quite the spectacle!

I was actually in attendance for the show on Saturday night with my niece, Lily!

She is actually a part of the event staff for all of the Eagles games and also works a few select concerts taking place at the Linc!

And you know she was not going to miss Taylor!

I got to walk in the tunnel with her and clock in and then it was right to her post at the Pepsi Plaza!

Lily was super helpful to all the concertgoers assisting plenty of Swifties to their seats and giving them guidance throughout the stadium!

The event itself was incredible!

I got to see the merch first hand that people were lining up by the hundreds for on Thursday ā€” a full day and a half before any of the shows even started!

Taylor put on an amazing show for all the people that were fortunate enough to be in the building and even thousands more outside who just wanted to hear their favorite artist sing.

If you havenā€™t seen the videos by now, thousands upon thousands of Taylor Swift die-hard fans surrounded the stadium singing their favorite songs and enjoying the show from outside!

I have never seen anything like that in all my years in the music industry!

Overall, I had an amazing time with Lily and Iā€™m glad she got to work one of the shows!
