In other areas it might not be news that another supermarket just opened, but in West Philly it's a big deal. "In an unexpected move, federal prosecutors said last night that they would ask a judge to revoke bail today and detain Jocelyn S. Kirsch." She was scheduled to plead guilty at a hearing this afternoon, but now a detention hearing will be held instead. It seems the feds are mad about her recent Target......

We previously posted about SEPTA's celebration this past weekend of the 100th anniversary of service for 69th Street Terminal and the Route 100 Norristown High Speed Line. What we didn't realize is that SEPTA was more than a year late with its celebration. Fresh news on the Bonnie and Clyde front! We know you're excited. Looks like Jocelyn Kirsch is nearing a federal plea deal. Prison time is still likely, however, given the scope of......

Strange and amusing stories are already pouring out of Milton Street's trial. Yesterday Philadelphia Airport Services official Gregory Taylor testified that Milt's "financial problems and apparent affinity for debt had led Street to bounce three checks for $133,000 each - part of an alleged kickback - that he had written to PAS. And that Street had asked for personal loans and demanded that PAS hire a politically connected minister for a no-show job." Today,......
