A New Walk in Old City, 'Smart' Loading Zones in Center City & Must-See Fall Shows
Independence Day is officially behind us, but Philly is continuing to explore 250 years of American democracy with a new walking tour. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Parking Authority is pulling in a ton of revenue – and moving traffic along – with new “smart” loading zones in Center City. Host Trenae Nuri, creative producer Siani Colón, and Streets Dept podcast creator Conrad Benner tell you how they really feel about that – plus, they talk about what performances to look forward to at Philly’s theaters this fall.
