Leftover links: Beatdowns on Bainbridge; A year of watching SEPTA
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 at 7:53 pm - by Dan Pohlig. Filed under: Crime, Transportation.
Not too many leftover since I’ve actually had a pretty productive blogging day but here goes:
Philebrity has video of a report by CBS 3 about a roving gang of teen girls that has been jumping young women - college students and young professionals - and robbing them. The latest occured at 15th and Bainbridge, an area that, while it has seen its share of street crime, has been pretty solid for the last decade or so. While two of the girls involved in this particular incident were caught (by a police car that happened to be patrolling), there may be others. As always, when walking down the street, be aware of your surroundings and don’t assume that just because the Jamaican Jerk Hut was featured in In Her Shoes, that the block it’s on is immune to crime.
Again, in this season of countdowns, top tens, and retrospectives, SEPTA Watch joins in with Top 10 SEPTA moments. (Who knew there were so many? I kid. I kid.) Honorable mentions are here. Numbers 6-10 are here. Check it out tomorrow for the Top 5! And here are the top 5. Number 1 is, of course, SEPTA’s record ridership. My nominee: Broad and Tasker gets a token machine!
