76人新篮球场开发商首次面对面社区会议并未取得显著进展
与会的大多数都是新篮球场工会的支持者，发言人坚持了76人开发公司的陈词滥调，几乎没有提供任何新信息或公众可以查看的来源。

抗议者在会议的不同时间点站起来，静静地举着标语站在大厅的后部和侧面。每次他们这样做，安保人员就会把他们带出房间。展示的横幅都对开发商的论断提出质疑，或者质疑该组织如何处理社区的关切。在活动结束时，抗议者才被允许重新进入并提问或发表声明。

一些人对新篮球馆的使用寿命提出了疑问，发言人回答说：“现在技术进步了，建筑材料也发生了变化。我们预计至少可以使用40到50年，而不需要进行重大改建。”
无论人们对新篮球场有何看法，面对一些最紧迫问题也只有等到各种研究公开后才能给出答复。即便如此，社区和开发商之间的不信任已经加剧，反新篮球场的联盟已经委托对经济分析进行第二次调查，并计划公开质询未来几周要发布的报告内容。

Parkway Corp.的首席执行官罗伯特·祖里茨基（Robert Zuritsky）表示：“公司将把技术、专业知识和经验提供给76人队，以满足新篮球场及周边社区的需求。”并认为，“这个项目对于市场东部的复兴、市中心的疫情恢复以及费城的经济未来至关重要。”
76人队表示，该协议将允许球迷在购票时来预订竞篮球场附近的停车位。球队预计将有足够的车位满足每场比赛超过3,100个的停车需求。

费城被评为全美床虱滋生最严重的城市
本周五（11月17日），美国知名害虫控制公司Terminix发布了美国主要城市中，前50个床虱滋生最为严重的城市名单。
图片来源：fox29.com
其中，费城击败了纽约市（第三名）和芝加哥（第二名），成为床虱滋生问题最严重的城市，夺得了第一名。
床虱是一种以人类血液为食的小型寄生昆虫，在近年来已成为日益关注的问题。根据疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的说法，床虱最近在美国、加拿大、英国和欧洲其他地区迅速蔓延。
图片来源：fox29.com
Terminix的害虫专家埃里克·布劳恩（Eric Braun）推荐了以下预防措施：
将行李和个人物品远离地面：如果将行李放在地板上或靠近受感染区域，床虱很容易爬上行李和个人物品。相反，将行李放在硬表面上，例如梳妆台或桌子上，以最大程度地减少床虱搭便车的风险。
返回家中之前检查行李和衣物：为了避免可能在家中引入新的床虱，考虑在家外检查行李和个人物品。
用高温烘干衣物：如果在衣物上发现了床虱的迹象，立即将所有衣物放入烘干机中，使用高温烘干。高温可以杀死床虱的各个生命周期阶段。

一波未平一波又起！SEPTA交通警察也计划罢工
上周五（11月10日），SEPTA最大工会Local 234的成员们举行了投票，以压倒性的优势通过并正式批准了与SEPTA的新合同。

新合同为该公司的员工们争取到很多“福利”，包括7%的工资增长、3000美元的年终奖金、养老金和残疾补助提高等等，闹得沸沸扬扬的罢工事件也暂时告一段落。
然而一波未平一波又起，SEPTA交通警察正在为罢工做准备，他们可能在几天内就停止工作。一位在SEPTA工作了24年的老警察说，他们已经罢工过两次了，而且在最近几次谈判中都在罢工的边缘试探。
究其原因，可能是SEPTA警察配备的人数较少，以及警察福利待遇的问题，这给公共安全带来了隐患。
SEPTA警察工会主席在给SEPTA总经理的一封信中写道：“我们发现SEPTA警察的人数比预算计划低25%，不少人都离开了我们的部门，去了那些能提供更具竞争力的工资、更好的福利和更好工作条件的部门。”
