- The fact that this morning's article about "Bonnie and Clyde" turning themselves in starts with a story about Kirsch's tits would be funny anyway, but we find it particularly amusing given the focus and title of our post on the subject yesterday.
- Yesterday's snow storm didn't cause too much trauma, besides a few accidents, some icy roads and sidewalks, and some school delays.
- The developer working on the Girard Warehouses ("the historic complex of early 19th-century buildings on North Front Street") has asked that the deadline for repair of the buildings, originally set for the end of last month, be moved back until the end of January. They say they've encountered unexpected delays, apparently due to the fact "that a rear wall of one building was unstable and that no foundation existed behind at least a portion of a rear wall that had previously collapsed."
- Philadelphia City Council is expected to pass an ordinance today "mandating lap-and-shoulder seat belts on all city school buses." If Mayor Street signs the bill, the law would go into effect in September of next year.
- Apparently due to the drying up of easy credit for mortgages this year, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have seen a big shakeout in the mortgage bank industry. "In Pennsylvania, 564 branches of mortgage banks - one-third of the total - have closed this year."
- "A coalition of five states - including New Jersey and Pennsylvania - plus a handful of cities and environmental groups petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency yesterday to set limits on greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft operating in the United States."
- Another one of those studies claiming to rate the walkability of cities was released on Tuesday by the Brookings Institution, this one focusing on the 30 largest American metropolitan cities. Philadelphia ended up at lucky 13, which isn't too shabby, although we rather doubt the accuracy of the list, since Brookings put their own hometown of Washington, D.C. in the top spot. (Via Jen)

Ha! I am slightly indulged:
They got their $100 service, but when it came time to pay, Anderton complained that the session was too short and demanded a discount, Solomon said.
Kirsch "was in the corner, almost seemingly embarrassed by his arguing with us," Solomon said. The owner relented and let them pay $75 each, which was put on a credit card in Anderton's name.
Solomon made a note under their names in the spa's computer: "Do Not Book."
