A robbery/shooting left one man injured last night near 54th St. and Springfield Ave. The Daily News writes:
“A man was shot and wounded last night in West Philadelphia during a robbery, police said. After a woman involved in an investment club went to the club director’s house on 54th Street near Springfield Avenue to pick up money about 6 p.m., two unidentified men approached the woman and her brother and demanded money, police said. Both victims tried to run and the man was shot and the suspects fled with about $16,000.”

As Clark Park undergoes another transformation, we thought folks might be interested in this photo of the Dickens/Little Nell statue from 1910.

The Winter Solstice doesn’t seem to get much respect anymore. It’s usually just dismissed as the shortest day of the year and forgotten. All the love is thrown at the Summer Solstice, but it’s the winter Solstice that signals a rebirth. Therefore, everyone is invited to a Winter Solstice lantern walk today that leaves the Cedar Park point at 46th and Baltimore at 4:30ish. The walk will proceed to the Cedar Park playground at 50th and Baltimore.
Participants are asked to bring something delicious and portable to share along with flashlights and/or flameless lanterns (no candles please). There is very likely to be music, dancing and storytelling.
