Post a commentCURRENTLY SHOWING ON PHILLY.COM
Both dead guys found in the same house address but different parts of the city????????????/ WTF!!!
Proofreader please. You have two victims at 6700 Oakland Street, which is in the Castor Gardens section of the Northeast; not Brewerytown.
I think they outsource the editing to India to save a few bucks. Of course, since none of the writers ever lived in Philadelphia, this is a daily occurence.
too much copy and paste going on in this article
This paper can't go bankrupt soon enough. No such thing as journalists left in Philadelphia. Now it's just a bunch college drop-outs doing a half baked job.
Leroy, I don't know if you're kidding, but editing and proofreading--when publishers even bother to do these tasks--actually ARE being outsourced to India and the Philippines. Major book publishers have been doing this for years, including major medical book publishers. The next generation of doctors and nurses pay grossly inflated prices for books that are not edited or printed in the USA. These students will be carrying crippling debt for years after they graduate. They should start asking questions about where their money is going now.
I'd like to bet whoever committed these murders likes to perform complicated handshakes.

I'm pretty sure that they pasted the 6700 Oakland Street address twice. There aren't any abandoned properties in the 6700 block of Oakland for a body to be found in.
I think Murcha does a good job, but he's covering the strike, which has turned ugly and criminal, and three shootings. I'm still trying to parse out what the heck happened also. This is still better coverage than WPVI or KYW at the moment. I really don't know why they don't hire someone for minimum who just knows Philly and Philly crime to cover the crime beat. It's not a totally white collar endeavor, sure, but it matters. It has a devout readership, like business and sports. Police, nurses, social workers, dealers, and all the families are involved in a low-simmering war.
Are the proofreaders SEPTA riders and couldn't get to work?
Septa already declared the train fire "not sabotage" within 12 hours of it happening, not really after an investigation by a dispassionate third party, like the feds, so this writer had to cover that, and that needs a full time writer now, someone who can put in calls all over the nation to labor attorneys, labor historians, arson investigators, etc. What does Murcha get assigned? The three shootings that occurred last night. Still, there are college kids who would work as interns for free for the papers, and do the crime beat, and slay it. No pun intended.
if the newspapers outsource to other countries to save money, why can't our government do the same thing to save taxpayers money? why do we need an $18 million dollar a year plus benefits city council to make decisions for us if we can get the same thing cheaper from another country with no politics involved?
Comment removed.
I'm confused, because the 6700 block of Oakland St., Philly, PA 19149, that's a neat burb of little WWII era housing with lawns. Some kid was shot in an abandoned house? Where is there an abandoned house on that block?
