Ed Ebner, 63, Harris voter, Prospect Park.

"I was actually a Republican voter early in my life, that was before I saw that there is no difference between someone who looks like me and someone who doesn't, that we all want the same things for our family, and for ourselves."

[Kevin McCorry @byKevinMcCorry]

Cheryl Cooper, Harris voter, Prospect Park.

"I think that if we put him back in office, this country is going to fall...and we're going to fall hard...It ain't about black and white. It's about who's going to do the right thing"

[Kevin McCorry @byKevinMcCorry]

Alexa Conner. Hillary 2016. Biden 2020. Trump 2024.

Says her political change has been a stress on her friend group.

"I became older, wiser. I'm a hard-working American, I'm a mother of two now and I just want to be rewarded for what I'm putting into this economy." @WHYYNews

Bill Thompson, Trump voter, Prospect Park.

"We got to get Republicans back in. Forget about the name. Just the economy defense. The wall, the drugs. It's a mess."

Scott voted this morning along with his girlfriend, who didn't want to reveal who she voted for.

Scott: "There are some differing opinions in the house"

[Kevin McCorry @byKevinMcCorry]

Scott Shaffer, 54, Trump voter. "You have to be able to separate the personality from the policy... I'm voting for what makes my life better, gives me more freedom. The less government in my life, the better." @WHYYNews

'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.'
Nick Cave.

Did you know?

Before the city built Veterans Stadium, it strongly considered the idea of building a Phillies ballpark in Torresdale (far Northeast) or next to 30th Street Station (above the rail yard).

This Inquirer editorial is from today in 1961

[Avi Wolfman-Arent @Avi_WA]

In 1923, a bomb ripped through a Northwest Philadelphia home.

This event, improbably, has ties to Benito Mussolini and the most famous Pennsylvanian on earth.

How?

I'll explain in the thread below...
