This pop-up store offers immigrant-owned businesses a 'safe stepping stone' toward success

A new shop selling art, toys, bouquets and books opened this month in the Center for Architecture and Design. The makers of these goods are likely unknown to the average shopper, and that's the point. The pop-up storefront is a space for immigrants starting small businesses to show off their wares and gain valuable exposure in their new home — with the help of the city itself.

Worker terminations and VFW struggles follow Harrisburg skill games fiasco

(The Center Square) - Veterans of Foreign Wars official John Getz Jr. warned posts around Pennsylvania for years that so-called "skill games" were not a reliable long-term revenue source, and now that they are illegal he said it's possible some posts could close. Meanwhile, Joe Calla's company recently had to pull thousands of its newly illegal machines from venues around the state and issue 60-day notices of termination to 81 employees. Getz and Calla are part of the multitude affected by state government's protracted failure to devise a way to legalize the machines. They have been bringing in money for years to clubs, bars, military service organization posts and the like, but were declared to be illegal slot machines in a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year. Even when given an extra 120-day window by the court to come up with a solution, the Legislature and Gov. Josh Shapiro struck out. The window closed Oct. 13. Getz, state adjutant for the VFW, said some of the posts "relied on them to pay bills," Getz said. Calla is chief operating officer for Republic Amusements, which has three subsidiaries and overall had thousands of its machines placed in 1,100 locations around Pennsylvania.

Data Center Opponents Stage Halloween Protest at City Hall

’Tis the season for Jeff Bezos masks and angry pumpkins. Philadelphians love an excuse to get creative … especially when they’re protesting. Two-thousand South Philly residents pelted Mayor Richardson Dilworth with tomatoes when he tried to stop them from parking in the Broad Street median.

Chinatown activists carried such beautiful art — a gorgeous red and gold dragon, a mini version of the Chinatown gate on Arch Street — to protest the Sixers’ arena that it spurred an entire art exhibit. More recently, people have worn inflatable T-Rex suits to march for the Academy of Natural Sciences.
