Summary
Did the Fourth of July semiquincentennial celebrations fall flat, given the too-hot and then too-wet weather, a cancelled parade, and pricey middle-of-the-night fireworks? At least many Ben Franklins provided a much-needed silver lining. Executive producer Matt Katz, senior producer Abby Fritz, and food contributor Alisha Miranda recap the wild July Fourth weekend, give updates on the PECO union worker strike, and drop some pro tips for dining out in Philly this summer. This episode was recorded on Monday, July 6, before PECO and IBEW Local 614 reached a tentative deal to end the strike. Our newsletter has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.
