In what Joey Termini of Termini Brothers Bakery is calling the “most South Philadelphia thing ever,” a Route 47 bus drove through wet concrete after two people reportedly hopped off to move street barricades so the bus could pass Thursday.
The sinking bus, which tilted on a slight edge as it got stuck on South Eighth Street outside Termini Bros., drove through the concrete only two minutes after city crews poured it into the road.

The National Park Service has started dismantling exhibits about slavery at the President’s House in Independence National Historical Park.
The President’s House, which serves as a memorial to the nine people George Washington enslaved there during the founding of America, has come under increased scrutiny by President Donald Trump’s administration. The president and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered content at national parks that “inappropriately disparage” the U.S. to be reviewed and potentially removed.
Around 3 p.m. Thursday, an Independence Park employee told an Inquirer reporter that his supervisor instructed him to take down all the displays at the iconic site earlier that day. Two other individuals later joined the employee to help remove the educational exhibit.
“I’m just following my orders,” the employee repeatedly said, refusing to say whether he was tasked with removing the displays because of the executive order.
One by one, the exhibits — including those entitled “Life Under Slavery” and “The Dirty Business of Slavery” — were taken down.

Independence Hall, the Rocky statue, the Liberty Bell and ... a 2016 Honda Civic parked in Fishtown?
That odd appendage at the end of the list just became one of Philadelphia’s newest tourist attractions on Google Maps.
How does a silver sedan get minted a must-see site in the birthplace of America? It gets completely covered in ice.
The journey from plebeian commuter vehicle to local celebrity has been a source of both humor and headache for 24-year-old Tianna Graham, the car’s owner.
On Monday, Graham posted two more videos about her car. One of her girlfriend and friend gingerly cracking the ice off the car with hammers, and another of the car getting towed away.
Watch the video to see the car finally break free of it's icy spot. And for the full details, click the link in our bio.

Ramesses Dreuitt Vazquez scooted his wheelchair on a Mount Airy playground, pressing the ground with his sneakers to approach the man credited with saving his life.
Caseem Wongus had last seen the child staggering from a flaming car after a medical jet torpedoed onto Cottman Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia, blasting wreckage into the neighborhood around the Roosevelt Mall and killing all six passengers onboard.
Now the 10-year-old Philadelphia boy smiled through his scars, reaching his arm out to greet Caseem. Wongus bent down and hugged him.
“I’m glad to see him with his family and to see how well he’s doing — seeing him just trying to function as a kid again and scooting around in the wheelchair on the basketball court,“ Wongus said.

A former bouncer with hands like 5-pound hams was peppering Bam Margera with rib punches in a small gym at his Chester County castle.
Every few minutes, Margera waved his hands in surrender. He started looking for a place to sit down. Sweat poured down his face, and he struggled to catch his breath
“I need a second,” he said.
Margera had strung together years of bad days recently, but, despite the pain, this wasn’t one of them. Today, he’s sober, in love, skateboarding, spending some time with his family and son, Phoenix Wolf, and, on this early June afternoon, working out, too.
Fans of the “Jackass” series will get to see him on Friday, June 26, when “Jackass: Best and Last,” the fifth and final film in the series, is released.
“I think this is the grand finale of it all,” he said.

Bucks County Sheriff Danny Ceisler terminated a controversial county partnership with ICE Wednesday, citing negative impacts on public safety and immigrants’ trust of law enforcement.
Ceisler said Wednesday that he signed two orders, one revoking the 287(g) partnership, and another that prohibited deputies from asking crime victims, witnesses, and court observers about their immigration status.
“Bucks County is home to over 50,000 immigrants... those immigrants are our neighbors,” said Ceisler, a Democrat, during a news conference outside of the Bucks County Justice Center Wednesday. “They are our friends. They are taxpayers and they deserve the protection of law enforcement in this community.”

What was the best bite at Food Fest?
From Emmett’s wagyu tartare tartlets to tacos from Bolo and grilled oysters from Alice, people had opinions.
The hummus from Philly Hummus Girl and Chef Jen Carroll’s Peanut Chew curry were also real fan favorites.

A group of teenagers will take the final steps toward getting their criminal records expunged by running the 13.1 miles of the Philadelphia Half Marathon this Saturday.
They’re students of MileUp, a juvenile diversion program that gives young people who are charged with certain offenses, such as auto theft and vandalism, the chance to clear their records.
Mentors help them practice accountability and responsibility while developing distance running. For the fall cohort, the Philly Half follows their completion of a 5K and the All-City 10 Miler.
Data from the District Attorney’s Office show the program is keeping teens out of the criminal justice system. Participants say they’re grateful for the opportunity to start fresh as they approach adulthood: “Everyone deserves a second chance,” one 16-year-old told The Inquirer.

Khalik White (@beyonder_75), a native of East Orange, NJ, moved to Philadelphia nine years ago and lives near Tioga. He has never taken a drawing class and credits his childhood love for skateboarding for informing his creative pursuits over the years.
Skateboarding, White said, “saved” him. Learning to fall and get back up was vital.
The soft-spoken artist dreamed of becoming a successful voice actor, but after he had his thyroid removed in 2015, it affected the timbre of his voice. After only managing to book a few small roles, he lost his vocal range. He also struggled with housing insecurity and alcoholism, and finally found a job at City Hall as a security contractor in 2024. He is thankful for the help he received from the recovery house Ready, Willing, and Able, which helped get him back on his feet as he embarked on his sobriety journey.
“I just draw to go somewhere else,” said White, who started drawing and posting on Instagram in 2022. At one point, he says, he was called the “worst artist” on the internet.
It only made him want to keep trying.

You can rename it. Rebrand it. Put up a new sign. Philly’s still gonna call it whatever we want.
We still “tap MAC,” call the mall in the Northeast, Franklin Mills and we’ll never fully accept any new name for the Gayborhood, Wells Fargo Center or Delaware Ave.
It’s Philly. We said what we said.

Gov. Josh Shapiro cruised to reelection on Tuesday, trouncing his Republican opponent Stacy Garrity in a decisive victory that strengthens the Democrat’s prospects for a 2028 presidential run.
The Associated Press called the race for Shapiro shortly after polls closed across the state. The resounding win for Shapiro, 53, of Abington Township, cements his dominance in the critical battleground state that voted for President Donald Trump just two years ago.
But a more substantial test of Shapiro’s strength is still to come in the following hours and days, as he’s staked his reputation on helping Democrats win up and down the ballot.

About 30 demonstrators blocked the garage doors at the Philadelphia ICE office on Tuesday morning, saying they intended to stop agency vehicles from going to “terrorize” local residents.
Only one car attempted to leave, and Philadelphia police moved demonstrators aside so it could depart.
No one was arrested.
Organizers with No ICE Philly had pledged to block the garage until they were forcibly removed or arrested, but halted the protest after about two hours. They said they had accomplished their goal, and that the bitterly cold weather was too harsh on demonstrators who are older or who have medical conditions.
The temperature was about 15 degrees when the protest began shortly before 8 a.m.
“All of us here have proven in our song and our prayer that we can slow down the machine of authoritarianism, of fascism, that we can delay the operations that will detain and kidnap and destroy our neighbors, our families, our community,” said the Rev. Jay Bergen, a leader of No ICE Philly and pastor of the Germantown Mennonite Church.

Delaware County nurse Monica Ryadi and her husband couldn’t wait to take their 3-year-old son to Disneyland, so he could meet his favorite characters from the Cars movies.
But shortly after their plane touched down in Los Angeles on Sept. 15, they faced a sudden crisis. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement appeared and surrounded Ryadi.
Despite her legal standing in this country, which she has maintained for more than 20 years since her parents brought her to this country at age 9, ICE arrested Ryadi and sent her to detention.
Legally, Ryadi cannot be sent back to Indonesia, where her family fled religious persecution all those years ago. But per a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the U.S. can continue to speedily deport people to countries other than where they came from, something Ryadi said ICE agents told her was coming.

Isaiah Zagar, 86, of South Philadelphia, renowned mosaic artist who crafted glittering glass art on 50,000 square feet of walls and buildings across the city and founded Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, has died.
Mr. Zagar died at his home in Philadelphia from complications of heart failure and Parkinson’s disease, the Magic Gardens confirmed on Thursday.
“The scale of Isaiah Zagar’s body of work and his relentless artmaking at all costs is truly astounding,” said Emily Smith, executive director of the Magic Gardens. “Most people do not yet understand the importance of what he created, nor do they understand the sheer volume of what he has made.”
His art, Smith said, “is distinctive and wholly unique to Philadelphia, and it has forever changed the face of our city.

Former Phillies All-Star center fielder Lenny Dykstra waived his preliminary hearing on two misdemeanor drug charges Tuesday before District Judge Randy Schmalzle, meaning the matter will now be addressed in a higher court.
The charges stem from a New Year’s Eve traffic stop in Pike County in northeastern Pennsylvania, when Dykstra was the passenger in a GMC pickup driven by Scranton resident Kevin Zelna. State Trooper Kody Nowicki pulled the GMC over after Zelna failed to stay in his lane, according to testimony by Nowicki and a criminal complaint. Zelna, 37, was charged with several counts, including driving under the influence.
When Dykstra told law enforcement that he wanted to retrieve his ID and credit card, “troopers observed, in plain view, a glass smoking device and a jar/container containing suspected narcotics.” Nowicki later testified that the narcotics tested positive for crack cocaine.

Pennsylvania’s ban on public funding for abortion is unconstitutional, a divided Commonwealth Court ruled Monday.
In reaching that conclusion, the statewide court that oversees government-related matters, recognized “a fundamental right to reproductive autonomy” in the Pennsylvania Constitution.
The finding likely sets up another clash over abortion in the state Supreme Court, where three justices previously signaled their willingness to rule that abortion access is a right.
Recognizing the right is necessary to restrict government “attempts to coerce reproductive choice,” Judge Matthew Wolf wrote for the majority.
“Those choices are the People’s, not the government’s,” Wolf wrote.
Fellow Democrats Michael Wojcik and Lori Dumas joined the majority opinion, as did the Republican President Judge Renee Cohn Jubelirer.

At 8 years old, @drtahirareidsmith drew the one thing she wished she owned: A double Dutch machine in never-ending motion.
For her school’s drawing competition, the then-third grader sketched two poles with three push buttons, and a girl jumping in the middle. Her drawing won first place in the competition, but decades later, she brought the invention she dreamed of as a child to life.
Nearly 40 years after submitting her class drawing, the mechanical engineer and Pennsylvania State University professor showcased a prototype of the world’s first automated double Dutch machine in Philadelphia on Saturday.
Reid Smith traveled from State College to bring the prototype of Jump Dreams (@jumpdreamsinc) to Awbury Park for Double Dutch Day, a community event led by @phillygirlsjump.
“It was important to be here,” Reid Smith said. “I love Philly Girls Jump’s mission, and what they are doing.”

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore the slavery exhibits that the National Park Service removed from the President’s House last month.
U.S. District Judge Cynthia M. Rufe issued a ruling Monday requiring the federal government to “restore the President’s House Site to its physical status as of January 21, 2026,” which is the day before the exhibits were removed.
The order does not give the government a deadline for the restoration of the site. It does require that the National Park Service take steps to maintain the site and ensure the safety of the exhibits.
The exhibits, which memorialize the enslaved people who lived in George Washington’s Philadelphia home during his presidency, were abruptly removed in January.
This is a developing story and will be updated. Check the link in our bio for more.

Now that Democrats have won at least 54 seats in the U.S. Senate, the new majority party likely won’t have to rely on Pennsylvania Democratic U.S. Sen. John Fetterman to be a reliable vote for their agenda.
And if he switches parties, it will have no bearing on who controls the chamber.
For months, some Democrats had voiced concerns that Fetterman — who has broken with the party in high-profile moments since President Donald Trump took office — could be a powerful swing vote if they either tied or won a one-seat majority.
But as many online commenters pointed out Tuesday night, their gains will likely leave them with a “Fetterman-proof” margin.
“You know who doesn’t matter anymore? John Fetterman,” wrote Adam Jentleson, Fetterman’s former chief of staff, who has become an outspoken critic of the senator.
On Tuesday, Fetterman did not comment publicly on his party’s massive wins, though he did post a straightforward message earlier in the day about polls being open.
