Seven people were shot in five separate incidents within about a 12-hour span from Monday into yesterday. The judge for the Fumo corruption trial is still ill, a fact that may delay the trial for at least a month. Monday was the first work day with higher tolls on the DRPA's Ben Franklin, Walt Whitman, Commodore Barry, and Betsy Ross Bridges, so it's not entirely surprising that commuter traffic dropped on those bridges Monday,......

SEPTA is getting pretty popular, with rail ridership up 12 percent from a year ago, to its highest point in 25 years of rail operations, but the popularity has brought with it its own problems: crowded trains and parking lots. 43-year-old Tarriq Ali, sentenced to a life term in Delaware, was being transported from California back to Delaware by a private prisoner transportation service when he escaped at Philadelphia International Airport. He is still at......

Penn (0-0, 0-0) will open up their season this Saturday against Villanova at 3:30 p.m. (tickets). Penn State put up their third straight yawner of a win this season, beating up on hapless Syracuse, 55-13. And it looks like things aren't going to change for the Lions before they get to their Big Ten season, as they close out their non-conference schedule at home against Temple on Saturday (tickets). Another week, another rough loss for......

Penn (0-0, 0-0) is inactive until September 20, when the Quakers will open up against Villanova (tickets). The question for Penn State (2-0, 0-0) this week was whether they could circle the wagons following the suspension of a number of players, particularly from the defensive line. The Lions answered that question in the affirmative (and in all capital letters), as they put a major hurt on Oregon State, 45-14. Unfortunately, the Lions' defensive line got......

Night Brings the Hag! For centuries, folklore, or what has become known as "the unexplained," has grown as a vast jigsaw, an immense puzzle made up of many differing, equally complex parts, whether in the form of monsters, ghosts, UFOs, crop circles, voodoo, spontaneous human combustion, telepathy, healing powers, or what have you. However, one of the most frightening enigmas to lurk deep within the network of weirdness pertains to the legend of the "Old......

More Beastly Legends! Philly may not be heavily populated by bizarre creatures, let alone by tales of such beasts, but those counties that surround the area have harbored some truly weird monsters, or at least the folklore surrounding them. In 1919 at Schuylkill County's Broad Top Mountain, legend persisted that a snake measuring more than forty feet had taken up residence. The creature was mentioned in Janet & Colin Bord's 1989 book Modern Mysteries Of......

Former Atlantic City mayor Robert Levy has been convicted of lying about his Vietnam War service record to collect additional benefits. Less trash, fewer arrests, and less traffic have Jersey Shore merchants down. Seriously? Sure, tourism is important, but so is peace of mind. The city burns from below and Chinatown loses power this weekend while the mess is cleaned up. A Delaware man learns that if you're about to be busted for a......

Three Philadelphia Tour Guides are up-in-arms due to a City Council bill that says all guides must be certified by obtaining a license. The license is given after the guides pass an exam that tests their knowledge of Philadelphia history. They feel this is in violation of their rights and have filed a lawsuit against the city. Phillyist has obtained a copy of the guides' original complaint to City Council President Anna C. Verna: Dear......

Snakes On The Loose! In March 2008 it was reported that two unusual creatures had been seen in Bristol, PA, causing alarm among locals who live in the neighborhood. The Delaware River town was seemingly overrun with large, out of place snakes, thought to be pythons. Police attempted to track down the beasts, commenting that one measured nine feet in length, and was an albino python, while the other was a twelve foot long animal,......
