- From rumor to news: The Inquirer & Daily News have been purchased yet again - this time by local investment group, Philadelphia Media Holdings LLC.

- The city is preparing to enact video surveillance citywide. We hope they don't think this means we're going to start making a regular habit out of wearing makeup.

- City Hall has been acknowledged as one of the "most unique buildings in the United States." Surely it was the scaffolding permanently affixed somewhere to the facade that put it over the top for this honor.

- And finally, farewell to Strawbridge and Clothier. Market Street (and Christmas!) won't be the same without you.
