Why so many historic Philadelphia street lamps are shaped like the letter 'P'

Hundreds of historic lampposts in neighborhoods like Society Hill and Old City curve into an arch resembling a capital "P," carrying fixtures known as "Franklin lights."

I've been reporting for nearly two decades, counting my college newspaper days. That means I'm getting old, and I've been at this long enough that I no longer find stories; they find me. The big picture: In that spirit, let me tell you a story: I attended my friend, rapper Frost Gio 's open-mic show at The Grape in Manayunk over the weekend.
