Leads Of The Day

Let’s all congratulate Damon C. Williams, for the two best leads of the day anywhere.

First, Mural to bring cops, kids together today in N. Philly:

If art imitates life, then Philadelphia will become a beacon of peace and synergy if the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program has its way.

And, second, Are you a kid with nothing to do?

Attending summer camp can be an annual rite of passage for city youths - even those with mental or behavioral health issues.

The second story’s pretty interesting, actually, and it also contains the best-named school in the district: Gompers Middle School.

    FYI….that is gramatically incorrect. You mean “ledes” not “leads.” Look it up!

    @Jordan:

    Not necessarily. Though “lede” is traditionally correct, the proliferation of laziness and stupidity in our society has allowed for the word to devolve into either “lead” or “lede.” This was recently confirmed by the head of the Magazine Journalism dept. at Temple University. Just sayin’ is all. (For the record, I write it as, “lede.”)
