A reader emails that she spotted a black and white pit bull (1-3 years old) this morning lying on the lawn on the corner of 48th and Hazel. She tried to get close to him and get a photo but he briskly trotted away headed west up Cedar ave. The dog seems very friendly, but scared. He’s not wearing any collar.

Please leave a comment below if you have any information about this dog or if you spot him in the neighborhood.

 
After nine years near the Penn campus on 40th Street, The Marvelous, a music and musician supply store, is moving into the location formerly occupied by Wake Up Yoga (4916 Baltimore Ave.).

Milan Marvelous, the owner, said that they’re planning to open the doors on Baltimore Avenue on July 12. “We’re totally stoked, because the new space is simply luscious … We’re looking forward to our new neighbors – Dock St, Firehouse Bikes, Elena’s, Satellite Cafe, Vix, Mariposa, etc.,” said Milan.

This week, the store is throwing a big “moving away” sale (July 2 – July 7), with everything marked down up to 50% off. The store’s last day at 208 S. 40th St. will be Saturday July 7.

Visit The Marvelous Facebook page for more information.

On Friday June 29 this cat got out at the intersection of 50th and Baltimore. It is mostly black with hints of orange and brown running through her. Her predominant feature is that she has a split face. She looks like a two face cat, half her face being black and the other half being orange with hints of white.

If you’ve seen her, please call 267-315-7754 or email GaryAltmark@gmail.com.

Dear Department of Parks and Recreation,

So it has been seriously hot over the last couple of weeks. You already know this. We hear it is going to be just as hot for another week. Here’s the problem: We have a great drinking fountain in Clark Park that is right next to the basketball courts and playground. We would love to use it because, as you probably know, playing basketball when it is 95 degrees out makes you very thirsty. But the fountain doesn’t work. Could you please, please fix it?

Sincerely,

The Kids of Clark Park

(This letter represents views we heard expressed in Clark Park by kids young and old who want their fountain fixed.)

Update: Mike C. got it. “Is that the old West Philly High?” It is indeed.

The old West Philly High is still for sale so no one is sure what will become of these little sculptures outside. They’re cool.

Think you know your hood? This is part of a photo that was taken somewhere in the area between 52nd to 40th streets, Market to Kingsessing. We will zoom it out each day until someone gets it right. Register your guess in the comments and be specific about the location.

The last time we did this, Andy L. got it in about 10 minutes. Hopefully this one is more challenging.

One guess per person per day please.

Hint 1: To help out a little, we are reducing the size of the area. So lets say 42nd to 49th streets, Market to Baltimore.
