16,000 serious runners who converged on Philadelphia yesterday for the 14th annual Philadelphia Marathon.

106 years of Catholic worship that came to an end this weekend with the closing of Most Blessed Sacrament Church in Southwest Philadelphia.

I Don’t Get It: Why do people get such glee out of white flakes falling from the sky. I don’t go to school anymore. I’m not a teacher, or a TV weathercaster. I hate winter. That includes snow.
Today’s Upper: Kudos to Rebecca A. Brubaker of Kimberton. She’s a 2006 grad of Swarthmore College, and yesterday she was named a Rhodes Scholar
