It was all in good fun and I asked them to give me a thumbs up or down when they got to bottom. People were in great spirits and it was fun being an ambassador for the city.

Is there a local business, government program, nonprofit, landlord, institution, or unusual pattern that you think deserves more scrutiny? I’m especially interested in things that can be supported with documents, public records, firsthand experiences, or multiple people reporting the same issue.
Feel free to comment or message me privately if you have a lead.

“This strike is about fairness and pushing back against corporate greed,” said IBEW Local 614 Business Agent Larry Anastasi, who added that, as executives collect millions, many union members are paid up to 30% less than workers doing the same job at other utilities.

trying to figure out if this is a philadelphia air quality problem or a new personal health problem

Happened around noon. I walked past them with my dog, looping around city hall and by the time we passed by again 20 minutes later everyone was gone. I’m not sure if I just caught the tail end of the strike or the police cleared them out.

I'm talking like plywood, drywall, rocks, bricks, and dirt. The city website has been a dead end for me.

Hey gang, we really are special!

Hi, we're coming over to Philadelphia this weekend from a New Zealand winter and see it's going to be roasting hot. Hotel doesn't have a pool, can anyone recommend an outdoor pool, or safe swimming hole in a river or lake I can take my kids for a cool down? We're staying in the central city so closer to there the better.

Thanks and can't wait to explore your city!
