East Lansdowne, PA Events and More

Philly fixed a melted interstate in 12 days. Why does everything else take so long?

On an early Sunday morning in June 2023, a tanker truck filled with gasoline skidded on an exit ramp, tumbled over, and burst into flames just below one of the nation’s busiest interstates. The inferno that followed immediately severed miles of the East Coast’s most important artery, choking off a route used by countless cars and trucks.

SS United States, long docked in Philly, goes under the waves

The formerly Philadelphia-docked SS United States now rests at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Why it matters: So ends the vessel's strange odyssey from the United States' largest ocean liner to Philly landmark to world's largest artificial reef . Driving the news: The controlled sinking began Wednesday afternoon roughly 22 nautical miles southwest of Destin-Fort Walton Beach in the Florida Panhandle. The sinking was slow going and stretched on for hours, but it was all over around 10pm when the ship fully disappeared into the water. Zoom in: The SS United States now joins a smorgasbord of other sunken vessels and artificial reefs for divers to explore off the beach. Plus: The ship's iconic red-white-and-blue smokestacks, as well as radar mast and a massive five-blade propeller were removed before the sinking — all of which will be incorporated into a land-based museum for the ship nearby. 👷 How it works: No explosives were used to sink the ship. Instead, crews strategically placed openings in the ship's hull and underwent a controlled flooding, which allowed it to rest in an upright position on the Gulf floor. Several compartments and lower deck areas that were deemed unsafe were also sealed

The Time to Buy BJ Ranson Stock is Now, Plus a Shoutout to Fellow Big 5 Freshmen RJ Smith and Latief Lorenzano-White

The St. Joe’s Hawks are 3-0, and their 83-80 win over South Florida on Wednesday was their biggest one yet. USF is a good team. They fell to 1-2 with the loss, but preseason projections had them finishing third in the American after going 25–9 (15–3 in conference play) last year, a season they capped off with a conference championship win and an 11-seed in the NCAA tournament.

VIDEO: Hailstorm Pummels Area

GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (November 13, 2026)– A hailstorm hit South Jersey and the Philadelphia area on Thursday afternoon, November 12, around 3 PM. The storm was predicted, but most paid no attention to the possibility. Simply put, it has been years since hail fell with the intensity shown in the video. So why did we see it now? We were able to pull up our porch window awnings, but the awning over the front door looks like a piece of Swiss cheese, as the hail destroyed it.
