Re: [UC] Holiday Season Hold Ups

Holidays and muggings just go together, always have.  Many years ago, while still young (and before I moved to center city and got some smarts) I ended up getting mugged 3 times - 2 of those times being right around Christmas.   The 48th and Warrington story I found particularly awful - walki

Hi Heather   Well, we've lived here for 4 years now.  Did live in CC before that (for about 20 years).  I have to say, I am continually surprised (and shocked) that people here just let their cats and in some cases dogs just run the streets, don't get them "fixed" which adds to the number of

[UC] Another Kitten Post, + what's up w/ roaming cats in West Philly?

On Tuesday night, a very friendly tabby kitten (maybe 2 mos. old?) approached me as I exited my car on 49th near Florence. At that time (s)he was wearing a blue collar, so I assumed (s)he was a pet, exchanged pleasantries, and went on home. The same cat has shown up nearby the last 3 mornings & e

[UC] Holiday Season Hold Ups

I seem to remember that crime goes up in University City around the holiday season.  I once witnessed a purse snatching while waiting for a friend who lived around 45th & Locust.  I remember that it was in the fall and around thanksgiving.  Maybe the holidays also make people more desperate

Quite right you are. It was supposed to be Screening Room for Independent Films produced by Penn Students. Apparently, there was not enough of them to maintain the room. Maybe they are playing video games. Wilma On 11/19/04 11:38 AM, "William H. Magill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 19 Nov

The police caught them! An officer, responding to the call, was coming east on Springfield at 49th when he saw someone who fit the description. He pulled over, and as he got out, the guy fired at the officer several times! He was quickly apprehended, and his accomplice, too. Better than watchin

Indeed--I've no strong opinion about the changed intersection--I'm an optomist, and tend to expect that it will be better. I really have no objection to Penn's taking over the space that was Baltimore avenue in this way. Yes, several mature trees were lost, but many more than that have alread
