Hey, the 179th Philadelphia Flower Show opened yesterday! The Inquirer has the details.
"The traditional battle of the budget opens today with the first in a series of City Council hearings on Mayor Nutter's five-year plan."
The Inquirer takes a look at the battle going on over a proposed state-wide ban on smoking in Pennsylvania.
The search for John Lewis, the suspect in the murder of Officer Chuck Cassidy, is over. Police apprehended him at a homeless shelter in Miami at 7AM. They tracked him down after learning that a relative had bought a bus ticket to Miami for him.
The Daily News story we linked to the other day about the bloated Parking Authority pay roll has caused Ed Rendell to call for the organization to clean up its house fast, and for a state House member to demand that the board members be ousted.
As another new tactic in the fight against crime and violence in the black communities of Philadelphia, civic, community, government and religious leaders held an event yesterday called "A Call to Action: 10,000 Men" at the Liacouras Center in North Philadelphia. Black men were urged to volunteer to help patrol the streets. And indeed nearly 10,000 men arrived at the event to sign up, with more having registered online.
About 1:30AM yesterday morning a woman died when she crashed her car into the back of a stationary PennDot dump truck in a construction zone on northbound I-95 near the Chichester Avenue exit. Northbound traffic was detoured until the lanes were reopened at about 4:30AM.
Meanwhile, times are tough and sales are down for cart and kiosk merchants in area malls.
The race for a Democratic nomination to a PA state House seat is really going down to the wire. In fact, things are so close, it'll almost certainly take a court case to settle it. The main two contestants are a 25-year-old housing counselor named Tom Payton Jr. and a Philadelphia Parking Authority employee named Emilio Vazquez. Amazingly, Vazquez's strong showing comes in spite of the fact that he was left off of the ballot - all votes for him were write-ins. Of course, whoever wins doesn't exactly have smooth sailing ahead - he then has to defeat Republican Troy L. Bouie in the fall election.

If you still aren't bored of stories about Jocelyn S. Kirsch and Edward K. Anderton, then by all means, read on. Meanwhile, other rather more dangerous criminals are still on the loose. Police still have little to go on in the brutal November 25th murder of John Bartram High School sophomore Antonio Q. Clarke, who was last seen alive trying to catch a trolley in Southwest Philadelphia. Call police at 215-686-3334 or -3335 with...

Phillyist has long believed that online map services were created to give us general directions to the nearest pizza shop and to allow us to look up satellite photos of the house we grew up in, the school we went to, and the office in which we are so bored to tears that we are driven to look at satellite photos of our childhood haunts on-line. Poking around del.icio.us, however, we learned that some people put on-line maps to good use. Such as: Mapping out Septa Region Rail and Patco Lines, local historical sites and city parking facilities.

Remember back in 1990 when you parked your bitchin' Camaro on South Street and came back to see a zillion parking tickets on the windshield of your sweet ride? Yeah, we don't remember that, either...but it sure did happen and you -- being the broke college student at the time -- never paid those tickets.
