Philly’s progressive left is plotting a City Council takeover in 2027

On a weeknight in a church basement in North Philadelphia, the talk is not about sermons. It is about who will hold the gavel, the zoning pen, and the power to slow a rent increase. Activists who spent recent cycles winning scattered seats are now speaking in the language of majorities. The phrase Philly progressive Council has begun to circulate among organizers who believe 2027 is the year a loose left coalition can become the dominant bloc on the city’s legislative body. The ambition is early, public, and still untested by a ballot. What is clear is the calendar. Municipal primaries in this city are decided long before posters go up, and the people plotting a takeover know it.

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

Zoning Board Rejects 420-Unit Lancaster Avenue Project, Developer Vows Fight

5100 Lancaster Ave. — Approximate Site of Proposed 45-Unit Building. A proposal to build 420 apartments across three Lancaster Avenue properties in West Philadelphia's Cathedral Park area has stalled at the Zoning Board of Adjustment, which ruled against the developer following a contentious hearing on Oct. 21.

Santa better whip out his wallet in Philly

Santa Claus is coming to town, and he better bring a big, fat wallet because Philadelphians are spending less on holiday gifts than in years past. Why it matters: Making kids and adults happy this time of year isn't cheap. Driving the news: Philadelphia shoppers are projected to spend $1,484 this year, down from $1,777 in 2024, per Deloitte's holiday retail survey . That's less than the national spending average ($1,654), which is increasingly being driven by millennial and Gen Z shoppers. 77% of those surveyed are expecting higher prices. The big picture: Philly shoppers are buying holiday gifts earlier in the year , with 23% of those surveyed saying they'll have already blown through their holiday budgets by October. Black Friday is still expected to be the city's biggest spending day, with many shoppers preferring to hunt for deals in person rather than online. How it works: Deloitte surveyed 413 Philadelphians between late August and mid-September, with a margin of error of ±5 percentage points. The intrigue: Despite scaling back spending, 46% of Philadelphians expect the economy to remain the same or improve in the next year, up from 41% in 2025. Zoom in: More Philadelphians are spending on
