Tourist Killed by Train; Atlantic City Pushes for Business; Downey's is Open

A sightseer from Texas was struck and killed by the Market-Frankford el yesterday afternoon in Center City after visiting the Liberty Bell. The victim was with his wife on the packed platform of the 13th Street station at the height of rush hour. He leaned over from the platform to see if his train was coming, lost his balance and fell onto the tracks. Seconds later, he was struck and killed.

Atlantic City is open for business. State leaders have not reached a deal to rescue the struggling resort but city officials are trying to convince visitors that its severe financial problems won't affect anyone's ability to gamble, or to spend money on food, drink or shopping as the summer travel season kicks off this weekend.

Downeyâ€™s is back in business. The landmark restaurant at Front and South Streets was shut down by city inspectors last after they observed orders being prepared for delivery via Grubhub - more than a year after its food license had lapsed. Owner Domenic Centofanti apparently struck a deal with the city Revenue Department to regain permission to operate and, in return, agree to repay unspecified back taxes
