Yo, Philly in the News

- It probably goes without saying by now - but if you're planning to fly out of Philadelphia International Airport, you're going to want to get there very early and watch what you pack in your carry on luggage.

-The proposed fence around Independence Hall is meeting some resistance from residents. Ah, irony. It won't protect us - but it does irritate us from time to time. If you have comments about the project, here's the place to send them to:

Superintendent, Independence National Historical Park
Attn: EA Review of Security Project
143 S. Third Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106
Fax: 215 597-1003
Email to claire_rozdilski@nps.gov.
The comment period closes September 1st.

- Does Philly need its own gun laws, independent of the state's? Tom Knox, who will be running for Mayor next year, has started a petition to that effect as part of his campaign.

- Is the local housing bubble about to burst? Good heavens we hope so. Otherwise, we're doomed to rent forever.
