Many West Philly residents, especially kids, have been enjoying the first snow this season. Some residents are not very happy though, especially car owners. Prepare for more snow tomorrow – it can start falling as early as 7 a.m. and may be “unpredictable,” according to authorities. (Photos by Annamarya Scaccia).

Who says sign posts have to be boring? We spotted this one near 47th and Osage. If you know anything about it, please post in the comments below. (Photo by Mike Lyons/West Philly Local).

Thanks to everyone who participated in our 3rd Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest and submitted their entries. Each year we are blown away by the creativity of our pumpkin-carving neighbors. This year we received many amazing entries again. It’s worth mentioning that this year, more neighbors focused on Philadelphia related topics, including serious ones like school closings.

So judge for yourself: check out the pumpkin photos below (click to enlarge) and then vote for your favorite. The Readers’ Choice winner will get the grand prize. West Philly Local will select winners in the following categories: Funniest, Scariest, Best Philly-themed, and Kids. The voting will close at midnight on Sunday, Nov. 3. We’ll post the results on Monday, Nov. 4.

Voting has ended.

A whole host of goblins, ghosts and other creatures large and small turned out yesterday for the Halloween Parade through the Spruce Hill neighborhood. The annual tradition began near 45th and Baltimore and concluded on the finely decorated 4200 block of Osage Ave, (“Little Osage”). We could go on about the costumes, but it’s easier just to show you. Check out the photos below.
