The city outlined its planned review process for the Foxwoods casino proposed for the Gallery at Market East yesterday, which includes yet-to-be-scheduled community meetings in Chinatown and Washington Square West. In addition to the City Planning Commission—which ultimately will approve or reject the Foxwoods plan—the casino design will be vetted by an inter-agency group including the city's Commerce and Law Departments, the Mayor's office of Transportation and Utilities, and the Redevelopment Authority. Though the final development plan is not expected to be finished for several months, Planning Commission Executive Director Alan Greenberger said the review process would begin well before then.
Michelle Obama will make several appearances this week in the Philadelphia area. John McCain spoke yesterday at the Delaware County Courthouse.
The Daily News describes a climate of fear and anger in Frankford, with residents on the lookout for a serial rapist. "Anticrime activists passed out flyers in the neighborhood yesterday while police—in a massive manhunt—took the unusual move of releasing the name and picture of a man wanted for questioning." Keep in mind Dorrell Shaw, 26, has not been charged, and is only wanted for questioning. Click through to take a look at the police sketch.

Then she has a noon campaign event in Harrisburg at The Forum, and a Philadelphia rally at 6PM at Temple University's McGonigle Hall. Meanwhile, Obama is scheduled to tour a Bucks County factory in Fairless Hills today. Tomorrow, the United Black Clergy of Philadelphia and Vicinity meets to consider a presidential endorsement, and they're expected to pick Obama, despite a history of affection for the Clintons. Finally, you might be interested to know that starting tonight at 11PM, and continuing every Tuesday night until the primary on April 22nd, political reporter Bruce Gordon and anchor Kerri-Lee Halkett will host a half-hour special on Fox 29 focusing on the Presidential primary contest in Pennsylvania.

With dozens of films screening for free at three separate venues in Harrisburg, new films will join classics (Eraserhead, anyone?) on the four-day bill. So come on! Less behind-the-scenes drama and less expensive than some other film festivals we could mention? We think it's well worth the gas money.
