PHILADELPHIA’S NEWEST PARK, THE RACE STREET PIER

May 12, 2011, the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation (DRWC ) along with Mayor Nutter officially opened the new Race Street Pier, the first new public space of its kind on the Central Delaware River Waterfront to be realized as part of DRWC’s ambitious new Master Plan for the Central Delaware River Waterfront. The Pier was designed to create a strong physical experience that reconnects the City to the River, activates the water’s edge and establishes the pier as a distinctive new public park for the people of Philadelphia. Formerly Municipal Pier 11, the pier was renamed as the Race Street Pier to further reinforce its relationship to the City and reinstate its historic name.

April 2011 CHEERS AND JEERS

 

BY BILL CLEARY

(CNBNEWS.NET)

 

JEER-Gloucester City News.. October 8, 2009….in the Jeer Section I read the \"Images-12\" following…quote: It was reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer that Camden City and Gloucester City are the only two communities in Camden County that still mix storm water and sewage in one large pipe. If the system overflows when it rains, it floods sewage everywhere. 19 months later nothing has changed. Every time we have a heavy rain…the street begins to flood as Gloucester City Water Department has told me that they close the flood gates in order to let the water into the river at a slow pace. Well, the water that floods the street and fills that large pipe with storm water and sewage…backs up into the sewer line and out on to my basement floor. I have repeatedly had to clean up this raw sewage from my cellar floor with bleach water! Will Gloucester City ever be required to do what the other 35 communities in Camden County have done and fix this quandary? I am so sick of cleaning up other residents’ raw sewage….signed Anonymous

 

CHEER- May 5th, I lost my cell phone ! I went to the last place I was that morning and checked the WaWa parking lot, but no luck. I went inside and some good person had turned it in to one of the workers, I deeply appreciate that someone turned it in. Many thanks to you and to the people at the Bellmawr WaWa on Browning Road for taking care of it, Thanks so much !! John from Bellmawr.

 

CHEER- To the young man who saw me struggle to put my recycle bin on the curb and hurried to carry it for me. And we are in the BAD part of Gloucester City!

NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS ALERT
Vol. 18, No. 18 05/06/11

According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, theProject Gunrunner program was intended to stop the alleged flow of guns to criminals in Mexico. That didn\’t happen. Instead, the program may have facilitated the illegal smuggling of thousands of those guns, some of which actually turned up atthe murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in December 2010.
