A reader, Elizabeth, wrote that someone had abandoned this dog in a vacant yard on their block. Elizabeth has been feeding him since yesterday.

Elizabeth called ACCT, but wants to see if someone considers fostering him. She can’t bring him in because she has a dog-aggressive foster dog at the moment. He seems very friendly.

If you want to foster this pooch or you know whose dog it is, please contact Elizabeth at elizabeth.elzer [at] gmail.com.

The owners of Han Dynasty, a popular Chinese restaurant with four locations in Philadelphia and the burbs, have reportedly just closed a deal on a West Philly location at 3711 Market Street, the space previously occupied by MidAtlantic Restaurant. We’ll keep you posted on the opening schedule.

A 17-year-old West Philly resident faces assault and robbery charges in connection with two gunpoint robberies this week along 50th Street between Hazel and Walton Avenues.

The unnamed teen allegedly held up a woman at gunpoint at about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday near 50th and Hazel and another person yesterday near 50th and Walton, according to police spokesperson Tanya Little.

The victim of Tuesday’s attack said a neighbor found her purse in her yard and guided detectives to a house near 52nd and Cedar “which appeared to be occupied by minors without adult supervision,” she said by e-mail. Police reportedly found her wallet and i-Phone in the house along with evidence from other robberies.

The victim, a 28-year-old woman named Jen, said that the person who stole her wallet on Tuesday used her debit card to buy clothing.

“[He] was wearing the exact designer apparel brands that he purchased via my debit card,” she wrote.
