There were two car crashes last night involving police vehicles. A teenage girl accompanied by a 5-year-old stole a patrol car at around 5:40PM while the officer was interviewing a complainant on the 1200 block of Gilham Street. She dropped the child off with a relative before crashing the car around 20 minutes later, and then sat tight to wait for the police. She'll be charged with car theft. Meanwhile, at around 8PM a police wagon and another automobile collided at 50th and Westminster Ave., injuring four people, including two police officers. It's not clear yet who was at fault.
The Veterans Center at Fourth and Florist Streets in Old City is in trouble due to federal funding cuts. It seems pretty odd to be cutting funding to veterans services during wartime, but what do we know?
The Inquirer has an interesting profile of a group based in Center City called Iraq Veterans Against the War.
The Kingsessing Recreation Center, site of an April 12 shooting, has long had, and continues to have, problems with drugs and violence. Residents don't feel the city is doing enough. The regular monthly meeting of the Kingsessing Recreation Center Advisory Council is tonight at 7 at 50th St. and Kingsessing Ave.
A senior at Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls was killed in a car crash on the Pennsylvania Turnpike on the way from her prom to the Poconos Saturday morning. Six other people were also injured. It was a one-car crash, and nobody in the car was wearing a seat belt. Indications are that the driver, a 17-year-old senior at Roman Catholic High School, fell asleep at the wheel.
Yo, dude, Kumar's gonna be teaching at Penn! Seriously, Kal Penn (no relation) is going to be a guest instructor for the Asian American Studies Program in the spring 2008 semester. Appropriately enough, the classes he's teaching are called "Images of Asian Americans in the Media" and "Contemporary American Teen Films."
All the Brady news that's fit to print! First of all, he and his legal team are now saying he didn't forget but deliberately did not declare his city pension on his nominating papers because he thought they did not need to be included. Regardless, legal challenges to his nomination will not be cleared up quickly; it sounds like we could look forward to weeks more of this, with the case probably eventually going to the state Supreme Court. Meanwhile, there is some good news for Brady: he got the top spot on the ballot. Assuming he ends up on it, of course.
In yet more local school news, the faculty and staff at the Community College of Philadelphia went on strike yesterday morning, as threatened, when an agreement could not be reached on their new contract.
Bill Cosby gave another of his patented controversial talks at a Save Our Children forum at the Community College of Philadelphia on Wednesday.
A 25-year-old Bucks County Community College nursing student, and sometime employee at her father's newsstand at Kensington and Allegheny Avenues, is missing. Her name is Kelly Monahan. She spent the morning and afternoon of February 14th at the newsstand, then called her grandmother at 3PM and told her she was going to the Montgomery Mall to look for a job. It was the last time anyone heard from her. She may be in her bronze 2002 Chevy Blazer, PA license number GDZ1073. Call Horsham police at 215-643-3600 if you have any information.
