Philly Weekend: From Junkyard Jams to Shootout Serenades
Ah, Philly. City of Brotherly Love, cheesesteaks, and apparently, a smidge of weekend mayhem. Buckle up, folks, because this past weekend in the City of Brotherly Love was a rollercoaster that would make even Rocky Balboa raise an eyebrow.
Fire on the Dance Floor (Literally): Forget disco balls, Philly had a junkyard inferno lighting up the night sky on Saturday afternoon. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but firefighters definitely got their cardio in battling the blaze in Port Richmond. Maybe next time, Bon Jovi can write a song about that, instead of living on a prayer.
Hit-and-Run Shuffle: Seems some folks were feeling a little too free-spirited this weekend. A Philadelphia police officer assigned to the ATV detail (yes, you read that right, ATV detail) got whacked by a Polaris Slingshot in a hit-and-run on Sunday night. Luckily, the officer is okay, but seriously, people, a little courtesy goes a long way, even on three wheels.
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
Weekend at Bernie's... with Gunshots: Unfortunately, the weekend wasn't all fire and funky vehicles. There were reports of several shootings across the city, including a "brazen daytime shooting" in West Philly that left one person dead and another critically injured. Here's to hoping for a more peaceful soundtrack next weekend, Philly.
Teen Turf Wars? In a separate incident, two teens were injured while fleeing gunshots at a party in North Philly. Look, teenagers, we all know parties can get wild, but maybe invest in a dance battle instead of a bullet ballet next time?
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
Phew, Gotta Catch My Breath: That's just a taste of the whirlwind that was Philly this weekend. On the bright side, at least things were exciting?
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
