Our Biggest Stories of the Year (So Far)

A Look Back at Our Biggest Stories

We’re taking a breather this week! You can read more on that just below. During this break, let’s revisit some of our biggest stories of the year.

• We exclusively reported that the February shooting in Schuylkill River Park unfolded just a few hundred feet from a children’s Valentine’s Day event.

• Readers were delighted to learn about the hum of wildlife that exists beneath our feet in Fitler Square.

• Are you a fan of the Schuylkill River Park dog park? Learn how volunteers keep it running without any assistance from the city.

• We detailed the challenges, and opportunities, that confront Fitler Square’s only public pool. We’re Going Biweekly!

We’re Going Biweekly

Next week we’ll have a new story for you (about the legendary Doobie’s Bar), and then after that, we’ll bring you new Fitler Square stories biweekly.

This updated publication schedule will help us smooth out the editorial calendar.
