(WPHL) – American entertainment restaurant chain Chuck E. Cheese has announced that it will be temporarily changing its name depending on the outcome of the Super Bowl game.
Local management in Philadelphia and Kansas City have started a friendly wager based on the results of the game.
If the Eagles win, Kansas City locations will be temporarily renamed to “Chuck ‘Eagles’ Cheese,” but if the Chiefs win, Philly locations will be called “Chuck E. Chiefs.”

“We have always encouraged friendly rivalries between Districts, from who can sell the most fun passes or birthdays, to who can rack up the highest score on any of our games,” said Chuck E. Cheese Northeast district manager Donna Brown. “For the Big Game, we will be rallying around our Philadelphia Team for sure!”
Midwest district manager of the Western region Eric Montes said, “We’re all about family fun and games, and there’s no better way to celebrate the Big Game than with some friendly competition.”
But Montes is rooting for a different outcome. “Go KC go!”
TRUMP ENDS PRESIDENT’S ARTS COMMITTEE. The news from the US executive branch keeps rolling in at high speed. In the latest art-related update, Trump has disbanded the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH). Former president Joe Biden had revived the committee in 2022, which advises the executive branch on policy decisions and engagement with the philanthropic and private sectors, reports The Art Newspaper. The move is not too much of a surprise, given Trump had already dissolved it back in 2017, after most of its members quit in protest against the then first-term president’s response to a white nationalist rally and violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
CHELSEA HOUSING FOR ARTISTS AND GALLERIES THREATENED. Artists and galleries are up-in-arms over the pending sale of an iconic Chelsea building and former warehouse, established by contemporary art gallery owner and philanthropist Gloria Naftali, reports Hyperallergic. Naftali, who passed away in 2022 at the age of 96, transformed a West 26th Street warehouse in New York City into affordable housing for hundreds of artists and galleries. She also reportedly told tenants they would hold onto their rentals after her death. Yet her family estate has put the commercial building up for sale for $170 million, according to the Commercial Observer. Derek Wolman, a real estate attorney for Naftali’s estate reportedly said the aim of Naftali’s family foundation was to support the arts, Holocaust education, and causes that fight antisemitism, and that, “the Raymond and Gloria Foundation cannot afford to maintain the building in its current form and also carry out its mission to support the numerous charitable purposes for which it was formed.” Still the foundation hopes to “find a buyer who will keep the character of the building intact as a community for artists where they can create and showcase their work,” he added.
James Bond movies often take place in multiple locations, and while some were put together for the films, others are real and open to visits. While not everybody wants to be a spy, it cannot be denied that James Bond has an exciting life with some enviable perks. High-tech gadgets have become a staple of every James Bond movie, his Aston Martin is iconic, and virtually all the 007 movies see him traveling around the world. This lifestyle is so aspirational that there are businesses built on living like James Bond, even including Bond-themed travel getaway packages.
