200 registrations, how many kids need to be registered for next year at St. Joseph’s School in Collingdale to keep the doors open.
1 guilty verdict and 1 not guilty for Susan Finkelstein, the woman accused of offering sex for World Series tickets. She was acquitted on the more serious charge of prostitution, convicted on the minor attempted prostitution charge.

Not good.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.The Eagles, including Andy Reid, seemed to have done an about-face on the question of Donovan McNabb. Now they need to pull the trigger.
Everyone knows they can’t simply come back with the same old song next year. Reid isn’t going anywhere. McNabb likely is.
*
I Don’t Get It: Somebody know who killed Dana Felts in her Upper Chi home. It’s time for them to come forward with what they know.
*
Today’s Upper: Kudos to the Union. A lot of people never thought they would ever see them take the field. They did just that last night in Seattle. In June they will open their new stadium in Chester. Now they just need to score a goal.

It was kinda fun watching some of the Union's soccer game. I'm not a fan of the team name and logo but I like the jersey.
I think I'd look real cool in one of their shirts.
You'd think some store in Chester would sell them. Besides online, I saw that Dick's had some hats and shirts when I was in the Christiana store last week.
When I wear my Barcelona team shirt that I purchased during a visit to Spain I always get comments from folks.
Let's see how long it takes for folks to comment on my Philadelphia Union gear.
