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." The design traces back to the 1750s, when Benjamin Franklin set out to improve fragile, soot-covered round glass globes imported from London. Franklin’s four-pane...

Ryan Cormier dishes on THC drinks, LeBron, 'Widow's Bay' & Newark music

Fall is a lively time in the First State, with festivals, holiday fun and tons of reasons to explore Delaware. We caught up with longtime Delaware Online/The News Journal reporter Ryan Cormier to chat about the Delaware entertainment and food scenes. Question: How was the second year of Wilmington Porchfest ? Why do you think people are responding so strongly to the concept? Answer: It was fun, but different for me. For the first one, four homes a block from my house in Wilmington's Trolley Square participated, and it created a mini festival feel. After they had their own Springfest earlier this year, they decided to sit out Porchfest and rev back up next year. But I still went out to a couple of the host porches to see some bands, including Wilmington rock band Eastern Elk on North Scott Street and a nighttime performance by veteran Delaware cover band Chorduroy on Rowan Street, which drew a big crowd. When you're used to seeing bands in bars, it's fun seeing an organic all-ages crowd enjoying live music in a non-traditional space. You and Andre Lamar did a deep dive earlier this year on the lack of live music venues in

Academy museum’s real deficit

When Philadelphia officials argue about what a museum costs the public, a single number can travel farther than the paperwork behind it. At a City Council hearing, speakers cited a $4.4 million shortfall for the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. Documents later placed the 2025 gap at $960,000. That distance between a hearing figure and a ledger figure is the Academy museum deficit in its most political form: not only red ink, but a fight over which red ink the city is being asked to believe.
