Good Morning, Philadelphia! Welcome back to your desk. We apologize for the late news, but we're still adjusting to our Monday morning just as we suspect that you are. So, pour yourself another cup of coffee and settle in with today's highlights.


• 20 tons of trash and 130 portapotties were hauled from the Parkway this weekend. No official number yet, but they're saying "hundreds of thousands" of people showed up to Philly for the Welcome America festivities.
• The weekend wasn't without it's sad stories, however. Nationwide, five people died from fireworks, one accident occuring in Quakertown.
• Watch where you park your car on weekday mornings. The PPA is installing 17 truck loading zones where ONLY delivery trucks will be allowed to park from 6am to 10am. The PPA feels the measures are warranted due to the backups on Chestnut Street that the delivery trucks create.
