A holiday season without Wanamaker Light Show, Dickens Village

The Wanamaker Light Show and Dickens Village are MIA this holiday season as the historic Center City building undergoes redevelopment . Why it matters: For the first time in generations, the Philly holidays will go without the beloved Christmastime attractions. State of play: The panels of snowmen, reindeer and sugar plum fairies, along with the bulk of the components for the show, remain tucked away in what's known as "Frosty Central" — a sealed hallway in the building behind the Wanamaker Organ. "They're safely stored," Ray Biswanger, executive director of the Friends of the Wanamaker Organ , tells Axios. Plus: The animatronic characters and displays for Dickens Village are housed and preserved on the building's third floor. The big picture: New York-based TF Cornerstone, which owns the Wanamaker, recently revealed a bar and restaurant concept for the Grand Court, home to the famous eagle statue and former site of the light show. Plus: The redevelopment includes converting office space into 600 apartments. Rendering of a potential remake of the Grand Court at the Wanamaker Building, which includes a bar around the eagle statue.

Bipartisan condemnation floods Israel and Palestine protests in Philadelphia

(The Center Square) – The targeted boycott Sunday of Jewish-owned businesses in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square drew bipartisan condemnation from area lawmakers as hundreds of residents gathered to counterprotest. The highly publicized event gained traction across multiple media outlets when Philly Bike On Your Left, a cycling group that posts on Instagram and routinely organizes protests against Israeli action in Gaza and federal immigration enforcement in the city, encouraged others to join the ride. Philadelphia police estimated 500 in Rittenhouse Square. Some of that total figure were in opposition to the protests. The plan, according to their statement , was to boycott Jewish-owned businesses in Rittenhouse Square they say express support for Israeli military action in Palestine following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-driven attack on its citizens as they slept in their beds. Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization, has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007. The Palestinian Ministry of Health says 75,000 civilians have died during Israel’s retaliatory military action. Counter-protestors who flooded the area Sunday to push back against the cyclists, backed by statements from Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike called the boycott “antisemitic and shameful” and disconnected from the war. The timing – between the anniversary of the Hamas

One year later, she and TV producer Gloria Penn Easton co-founded the American Women’s Heritage Society (AWHS), an assemblage of Black women, and, with the City of Philadelphia’s blessing, took charge of Belmont’s care.
