| A committee of the Philadelphia Historical Commission today will weigh in on a developer's plans for a ten-story apartment building in Old City — on the same block as the Betsy Ross House. PMC Property Group wants to turn a parking lot at 218 Arch Street in Old City into a ten-story apartment building with some first-floor retail and two levels of parking underground. Jonathan Farnham, executive director of the Historical Commission, says the project's size poses concern. The... Read More |

| Maroon 5 is not on tour this summer, but they've just announced two special shows in our area this August. The big show will be on August 16th on the beach in Atlantic City. Last year, fellow "The Voice" judge Blake Shelton and Lady Antebellum played free concerts on the beach, drawing 60,000 each.

| Philadelphia and the four suburban counties are phasing out their current emergency notification system for residents and they're inviting you to sign up for the new system. The City of Philadelphia, along with Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties, are in the process of dropping 'ReadyNotifyPA' and switching to a new system for emergency notification to residents. The one downside to the change is that those who are currently signed up to ReadyNotifyPA need to re-register for the... Read More |

| The sun rose on the final day of Firefly 2015, much different than the pouring rain and lightening that cut Saturday night's festivities short. Steve Aoki and The Chainsmokers were rescheduled, but Kid Cudi and headliners King of Leon were not. It was hot, sunny, but with clear skies, and the grounds held up under the deluge, with only a few new mud pits to avoid. Aoki was scheduled early in the day on the Backyard Stage, a unique chance to catch him in the sunlight. The Chainsmokers closed out... Read More |

Saturday at Firefly Music Festival certainly had a wild, but not totally unexpected finish, thanks to Mother Nature and a remnant named Bill, but more on that later. There was plenty of other action on the seven stages to keep the grounds electric all day.
Andrew McMahon, formerly of Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate, took the Main Stage first. He's been touring as Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. You may recognize his single, "Cecilia and the Satellite" that's been out... Read More |

| Firefly Music Festival is back in the Woodlands at Dover Downs in the middle of Delaware. This year they officially sold out of passes, that's roughly 90,000 attendees expected throughout the weekend. This year they also did not sell individual day passes, only the full 4-day variety. Music kicked off on Thursday night on a few stages, but Friday was the first full day of activity at the fest and it did not disappoint. The weather was dry in the sky and the clouds hid the sun enough to keep the... Read More |
