In the ongoing SEPTA crisis, getting fans to games outranks getting kids to class | Editorial
The city’s schoolchildren can rightfully ask why the struggles of football fans — with at most a dozen home games a year — have gotten so much more attention than their own.

The Trocadero Theatre was, for decades, one of the strongest beating hearts of Philly’s alternative music scene.
The Trocadero Theatre’s reopening has been rumored for years. But its future is unclear.
The theater at 10th and Arch that we lovingly call The Troc closed in 2019.

The Trocadero Theatre was, for decades, one of the strongest beating hearts of Philly’s alternative music scene.
“The Trump administration is currently breaking every law that they could find,” said Adam Sheridan, one of the thousands of protesters at different events in Center City. “There’s a climate of fear that didn’t exist the first term.”

Thank you for taking a stand, SDP!
The Philadelphia School District indicated it will ignore a rule directing schools to ban transgender athletes from participating in sports that match their gender identities.
The move comes after the state’s interscholastic athletics governing body changed a key policy around transgender athletes.

The "Sixth Borough"?!?! Really @inquirer.com? Philly will never be NYC and we don't want to be. We are our own city. Let's focus on making housing more affordable for folks who already live here, rather than on how New Yorkers finally deem our city an acceptable place to live.

Some of the same people who preach about 'family values' are fine with separating kids from parents and putting kids in cages. Ugh, the hypocrisy! I'm so disgusted with this country.
Yesterday, Congress passed a dangerous anti-immigrant bill that upends due process in the U.S. justice system, empowers state politicians to oversee people’s deportation cases, and creates more family separation and child detention. Read our statement: immigrantjustice.org/press-releas...

Such a waste of time and resources that could've been spent on much more urgent issues. Maybe if the media's coverage of this project was this critical after the mayor's announcement to support it, less people would have bought into the BS so easily.
Sixers owners claimed the now scuttled plans for a Center City arena would come at no cost to taxpayers.
