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

A novel approach to combatting gentrification is working in Kensington

In 2023, J.C. Zerbe, community advocate and acclaimed muralist, welcomed an unusual offer: a spiffy, brand-new space for below-market rent. The offer came from the Kensington Corridor Trust (KCT). Most landlords buy buildings to hold onto them, but KCT buys properties to give them away — rehabbing them and transferring them to community ownership.

Pet owner sues Wedgewood Pharmacy over drug recall

A proposed class action suit is demanding more than $5 million from a Gloucester County animal pharmacy in the midst of a product recall. The suit, filed in the name of a Maine woman, seeks to represent consumers who purchased medications being pulled from the market by Wedgewood Pharmacy LLC , a Logan firm described as the nation's largest veterinary compounding pharmacy. The suit says the recall, announced on Oct. 21, covers almost 4,000 compounded medications shipped since Feb. 18. The medications include powders, pastes, topical sprays and more. Animal care: Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine debuts at Rowan University The voluntary recall was initiated after Wedgewood "identified inconsistencies in certain analytical testing data that affect our confidence in that testing data," says a statement at the firm's website. It says Wedgewood has not seen "an increase in reported complaints or adverse events associated with the affected products. But when we don't have the level of confidence we require, we believe the responsible thing to do is to act." The lawsuit offers a different view, asserting Wedgewood "has received at least 98 complaints [over the recalled products], including at least seven described as 'serious.'” It claims the recalled products, intended
