Since the announcement is happening at the Art Museum, the logical thought is the fest would be staged along the Ben Franklin Parkway.

Phillies fans who don't mind a bit of a walk have been taking advantage of the ample free parking at FDR Park for decades. However that has all come to an abrupt halt tonight as the Parks and Recreation Department started to actually enforce its 1984 curfew law. Anyone parked in Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park after 9pm tonight would have found a nice $41 parking ticket after the Phils' win over the Padres.

So I just found out about The Color Run today and it's taking place in Philly on July 8th 2012! For those of you who don't know, The Color Run is a "race" that anyone can participate in! You can walk the three miles or you can sprint...it doesn't matter!
Why is it called the color run? Probably because participants get sprayed with a different color at every kilometer mark! All runners must begin the race wearing a white shirt! In the 1 kilometer zone, participants are hit with... Read More |

The flight was diverted to Boston's Logan International Airport. A flight attendant subdued the disoriented man, and a passenger watched him until the plane landed safely.

The Sixers took full advantage of some keys losses for the Bulls, who lost reigning MVP G Derrick Rose and C Joakim Noah to injury, to get out ahead of the Chicago team in the series.

Had a wonderful and productive first day at iradiophilly. On the way home I heard Keane's new song. Their new album is entitled Black Rain and the single is called Silenced by the Night. I started listening to Keane a long time ago so I have a history with them and this Keane is much different then their old stuff. It has more of an antique feel almost with a U2 vibe. Although it is very different I really love it after only hearing it once.
