Gunfire and Glitter: A Not-So-Groovy Mix
Unfortunately, things kicked off with a bang (the bad kind). Two separate shootings rocked the city, leaving one person dead and another injured. Sending our best to those affected by this violence.
On a lighter note (pun intended), a beloved landmark in Center City is finally gracing the night sky with some brand new lighting! No word on if it comes with a disco ball setting, but hey, a little progress is a good thing, right?
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
Teen Turf Wars: Dodgeball Gets Real
Apparently, dodgeball games in North Philly are getting a little too intense. Two teenagers were caught in the crossfire (literally) after a party erupted in gunfire. Luckily, they only sustained injuries and not full-on dodgeball-induced humiliation.
Moral of the story: Maybe stick to nerf guns next time, folks.
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.

In a move that's got everyone scratching their heads, music mogul Jay-Z's Roc Nation is throwing its weight behind a campaign for private school vouchers in Philly. Is this a strategic move or a sign of a midlife crisis? Only time will tell.
One thing's for sure, this is bound to spark a heated debate. Grab your popcorn, Philly, this is gonna be a good show!
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
