THIS WEEK

LOCALS ONLY

• A Chinatown food court could be getting a major glow-up, as entrepreneur Levell “Garci” Peterkin plans to transform it into a Black-owned “mini-Reading Terminal” spotlighting culture, community, and local businesses.

• The Philadelphia Wings announced they’re ceasing operations after this season, bringing an end to the city’s pro lacrosse run despite a long history and six league titles. Philly lacrosse fans have two games left before it’s officially over.

• Well, we’re only three games into the season, and we’re already discussing whether or not Phillies fans should be panicking after a 1-2 start. If you ask me, I’d rather see them have a slow start and figure things out than be hot in the first half and blow it all in the playoffs.
