Good Morning, Philadelphia. Can you feel that humidity? Get used to it because it's going to be
sticky all day, followed by evening rain and thunderstorms! Color us surprised.
- Earlier this year, five firefighters settled claims of discrimination against them to the tune of $275,000. The men believed that they did not get promotions because they were white and the subjectivity of the oral portion of the exam led to frivilous deductions in points. The city refuses to eliminate the oral exam Will we be seeing a lot more of these types of cases?
- The latest in the Piazza murders: Police are suspecting that the shooters are from out of town because the men didn't even bother to cover their faces from the complex's numerous cameras. Maybe they're not from around here or maybe they're just incompetent criminals?
- To all Google lovers, SEPTA lovers, and those in in the middle of the Venn Diagram: Google Transit is in town! Head over to SEPTA.org to see for yourself.
- Short Stories: Another child is hit by a car in the Mayfair neighborhood. Lincoln comes to town for the 4th. Be careful this weekend, people—a woman and child drowned at a North Wildwood beach last night. A man found shot to death in Fairmount Park.
