The city is urging residents not to take their Christmas trees to the curb. The city hopes that residents will take the effort to pack up their trees - and maybe those of a neighbor or two as well - and take them to be recycled at one of three city collection areas: 63rd Street and Passyunk Avenue, in Southwest; State Road and Ashburner Street, in Northeast; Domino Lane near Umbria Street, in Roxborough. Two neighborhood groups also will be accepting trees for recycling - The Northern Liberties Neighbors Association will accept trees at Liberty Lands Park, near 3rd and Poplar Streets, on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Passyunk Square Civic Association will take trees Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at Gold Star Park, on Wharton between 6th and 7th.

Eight people were taken to a nearby hospital to be treated and released.

That store will remain closed until at least today, although the rest of the mall reopened early yesterday afternoon.
Neighbors of the Barnes Foundation, who were once all for it moving out of their neighborhood, are now joining county commissioners and Lower Merion Township in their efforts to stop it. Yet another lawsuit may soon be filed in a last ditch attempt to keep the Foundation where it is.
