Back to EpisodesCHOP garage collapse, and America 250 may draw less tourism than we thought
Description
A garage being built for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia collapsed on Wednesday, killing multiple construction workers. America 250 has been the talk of the town, but new tourism predictions say it might not draw the crowds we’ve been expecting. The former World Cafe Live was shut down for operating without a liquor license. And the Philadelphia Latino community has been grappling with the tarnished legacy of political activist Cesar Chavez and what to do with his mural in North Philly.
