Chester's Roadmap To Peace Thwarted

CHESTER - Tonight's scheduled "Peace on the Streets Jam" had to be canceled after the headlining performer was arrested on drug and weapons charges last week, according to Chester officials.

Yeah, but did he attack anybody?

Bad Timing: Prison Edition

Maybe I'm nitpicking here, but on the day when the prison system is sued yet again for overcrowding, the Philadelphia prison system should probably not send out this press release.

Like I wrote, it's just bad timing and I don't care what press releases they send out. I'm all for honoring prison workers. However, I think making the conditions better for the inmates, therefore decreasing violence and disease, therefore making the jobs of prison workers better, would be a much better idea.

Naw, let's just paint a few more murals. Or, you know, both?

Contrarian broadsheet, indeed!

The cover of today's Inquirer:

And the cover of today's Evening Bulletin:

Lest you think the Bulletinⁱ copied, I picked both up at the same time this morning at the newsstand. Which is kind of even weirder.

1. Standard disclaimer: Daniel McQuade used to work at the Bulletin yadda yadda yadda &c. You get the idea, or you know this by now.
