She will also teach a documentary master class on her work before the screening at the Scribe Video Center (4212 Chestnut, 3rd floor). If you attend the master class, you get into the screening for free.

Have You Heard Trailer

West Philadelphia business owner Debbi Ramsey and her Natural Wellness Spa were featured on FOX29 last night in a story about the red tape small businesses must go through to become a business.

The remnants of one of last winter’s storms on 44th St. near Spruce.

A bill is in the Philadelphia City Council that would require building owners to shovel a wider path through sidewalk snow. Bill 100752, now in the Streets and Services committee, would require a 36-inch path (versus the current 30-inch path that is the current law) within six hours of the end of the snowfall.

The bill follows one of the snowiest winters in decades – a winter so snowy that restaurants and bar owners offered drastic price cuts for those who ventured out for a pint and a burger.

Councilwoman Donna Miller is sponsoring the bill, which would presumably make it easier for wheelchairs, baby strollers and people walking by each other to get by on the sidewalks in the event of deep snow.

Here is a link to the bill.
