Outdoor Dining Is Struggling

The number of street-side eateries in Philly is on the decline, due in part to new regulations that include steep fees and insurance minimums for restaurants. Some 800 dining establishments erected outdoor spaces during the height of the pandemic, but only 13 “streetery” licenses are currently active, and just two establishments have renewed their licenses this year.

Franklin Institute’s Giant Heart Turns 70

The iconic exhibit has been teaching Philadelphians about human anatomy for decades. As a part of this week’s Friday News Roundup podcast episode, we called up Max Marin, reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Cory Sharber, general assignment reporter at WHYY News, to share their Giant Heart stories.

It's time for our weekly photo challenge, when we ask Hey Philly readers to correctly guess (from memory) the location of a piece of Philly street art. Last week’s photo challenge was submitted by Hey Philly reader Martha S.:

This mural is on 20th Street in Fairmount, in between Callowhill and Hamilton Streets. It’s near Target, MANNA, Matthias Baldwin Park, and the Barnes Foundation, so we accepted those answers, too.

The piece depicts a Baldwin 6000 Locomotive, built by Baldwin Locomotive Works, the company that used to dominate Fairmount through the 1920s. It was created by artist Philip Adams as part of his “Industrious Light” mural series celebrating Philly’s industrial history.
