No donation from Coca Cola? What's up with that? I'm a Pepsi man now! NickEeee
You know it's funny that in what neighborhoods the majority of the pools are opening up. Just like Philadelphia. tellsitlikeitis
I saw a television spot by Mayor Nutter announcing how individuals could contribute to summer pool costs. I didn't get pencil/paper in time to write down the web address. How about publishing that information along with the story so individuals can help, too. LillianM
