I grew up in the era of department stores that lined Market Street in Philadelphia between Eighth and 13th streets – Strawbridge and Clothier, John Wanamaker, Gimbel’s, Frank and Seder, and Lit Brothers.
In 1808, Septimus Evans from Warwick Township bought a 2-acre building lot at the corner of North Main and Broad streets for $250.

The Supreme Court has just made all of us more likely to be victims of mass shooting massacres.
I am a lifelong resident of Bucks County. Like many other people in the county, I primarily get around via public transit. Whether it’s in Bensalem or Doylestown, from Levittown to Warminster, public transit is an essential service to get residents moving across the region.
