Friday Evening Rush Hour Should be a Nightmare in Center City

[Andy Sharpe]

If you're planning on being downtown for the Friday evening rush hour, be careful! Broad Street will be shut down to allow for a ferris wheel and street performances for PIFA, beginning at 1PM Friday and continuing into the weekend. Might be a good time to take a train.

Don't forget the Phillies AND the Sixers starting at 7pm.

[Andy Sharpe]

Well, maybe not the Sixers (.

Great point nonetheless.

yes, the south street bridge has been jacked up all week due to the penn relays as well as spruce in univ city.

I'll be cruising down 52nd street and grays ferry ave tonight to avoid everything on my way home.
