Phillies: We don’t need no stinkin’ permit
The Inquirer confirms: The Phillies rebuilt Ashburn Field in FDR Park without getting the proper permit from the state Dept. of Environmental Protection — just to be done in time for All-Star week.

Just giving it away
City Council just voted to authorize the lease of the $12M Welcome Center in FDR Park to the Conservancy.
