Yo, Philly in the News

• Yesterday, a South Philly cop was shot in the arm while pursuing a suspect in the murder of a young teacher. He kept chase, and caught the shooter despite his injuries. "I was just determined I was going to run him down," he told NBC10.
• The Phillies lost for the sixth time in a row, making this their longest losing streak since 2006. C'mon team. We can beat that record!

• Toilet pipe thefts are up a million percent in Delco. Seriously, these must be some lean economic times.
• 52nd Street Station has reopened. Hurrah! Now bring back 46th.
• High prices on food items grown in the flooded Midwestern region mean local farmers are expected to make a lot of money this summer. Consumers, of course, are expected to spend a lot more money than last year.
• A historic painting has mysteriously vanished from the Philadelphia Park Systems office. The FBI are now on the hunt for it.
