New plans for a short-term rental building would demolish the Painted Bride's signature mural in Old City. It's the latest turn in the years-long back-and-forth fight to preserve the mosaic. https://t.co/AnFUNyzpXA

At the unveiling of a photo exhibit of mothers of children killed by gun violence today, a mom I’ve written about met me with a huge hug and a plea: Bring back #FillTheSteps! It was humbling, and I want to. But truthfully, I need more in-house support. https://t.co/OYFzJpp15P

Young woman tourist walking with a group at 6th and Chestnut: “Look, Mom, that’s a Wawa. It’s a bank.”

This story has touched a lot of people, and I'm happy to be able to report Linda's good news. In her words: “I’ll tell you one thing: It reaffirms there’s hope for humanity.” https://t.co/jZsgIcopUq

[Michaelle Bond @MichaelleBond]

I met Linda Smalley at a legal clinic for homeowners in Germantown. She told me about the one issue she wasn't able to get help with: a tree that had fallen from an empty lot and into her yard 6 years ago. (I had her repeat that number a few times.)

[Michaelle Bond @MichaelleBond]

Inquirer readers stepped up, offering money and their personal chainsaws to help Linda remove the tree that had been lying in her backyard for 6 years, keeping her from being able to use her yard and deck, which was damaged.
