Yo, Philly in the News

dl-roth.jpg - News about the tainted heroin is having the opposite of the expected affect.

- Sometimes it's better not to listen to your parents; both for you and them. Just ask Devonzo Dawson, who has been prosecuted for telling his daughter to recant her statement about a murder once she took the witness stand.

- Newsstand owners, who came to work Monday only to discover their newsstands had seemingly melted into the night, have a whole new headache - their stands have been located, but they can't have them back until the investigation is over.

- The Center City: popular place to live, unpopular place to work.

- We're # 4! We're #4! A dubious honor to be sure, since we're in fourth place for American cities prone to clogged toilets. Ummm..congratulations? to Chicagoist, SFist, whose cities also made the list...and to LAist, Miamist and Gothamist - whose cities make up the top three. Even bigger congrats to Seattlest - as Seattle is the least clogged city in America.

- First replaced by Sammy Hagar, and then this. Poor Diamond Dave. At least he's got that whole EMT thing to fall back on. (via)
