## Resource

The view down South Broad Street from Washington Avenue to City Hall is iconic. But an op-ed in The Philadelphia Inquirer criticizing the new planters smack in the middle of the street raises a host of questions about our beautiful thoroughfare. Host Trenae Nuri, executive producer Matt Katz, and Fae Ehsan, a nonprofit professional and board member at 5th Square Advocacy, discuss the view down Broad. They also talk about how QR codes are everywhere these days after being discovered by city agencies – and they guess the prices of Philly home listings.  Our newsletter has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.
