August 26, 2022 Lenny Cohen’s bio on cbs12.com Lenny Cohen arrived at CBS12 News as dayside digital content producer in 2021, writing news as it happens for cbs12.com and then going beyond the headlines to show why people need to read those articles on social media platforms.
December 27, 2019 Have you noticed Comcastâs Christmas gift to itself? Itâs that time of year again. No. I take that back. A few weeks ago, it was that time of year again. Regular and long-time CohenConnect readers may recognize the Comcast graphic with Santa Claus.
November 28, 2019 To Thanksgiving, and the best TV episode ever dedicated to it This year, I reposted a Facebook memory from all the way back in 2018. It contrasts my good feelings about the holiday growing up in Florida, through last year, which was much colder than this one.
August 15, 2019 ThePhillyFilesâ six-week milestone! I sent the following to subscribers of ThePhillyFiles on Mailchimp: Itâs hard for me to believe but today marks *six weeks* since the kickoff of ThePhillyFiles.com!

November 21, 2018 The end of an era, and beginning of this one (Part A of this one) It was 20 years ago tonight. Not exactly. It was actually four days off, on Nov. 25, but what really matters is it was the night before Thanksgiving in 1998.

After this morningâs attack in a Pittsburgh neighborhood where I have family and have been to several times, I did some reading and a lot of soul-searching before starting to write. Iâm hoping others who I trust and posted thoughts will unknowingly help a lot.
August 27, 2018 Not the typical pet, not the typical vet appointment What a morning, and I hadnât even gotten to the vetâs office! It was time for Friskyâs first annual physical. Thatâs not counting the office visit she had a year ago, after I adopted her from Morris Animal Refuge on Clear the Shelters Day. Frisky has always been a tough one.

February 17, 2017 Beating Welchâs un-kosher coupon policy I don’t get shocked too much anymore. Maybe that’s from age, or having done a lot of things in a lot of places. Maybe…
