If you have a car parked along Baltimore Avenue between 49th and 51st Streets, you should move. Same goes for 50th and 51st from Pentridge to Catharine. Cars should be moved by 11 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 6. or they will be towed, according to police.
All of this is for the N2N Festival in Cedar Park this Saturday, Sept. 7, featuring Salt-N-Pepa.
Cars can be parked again on those streets starting 12 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 8.

A temporary “no parking” sign near 49th and Larchwood.
Here’s the good news: Crews will be filming part of an episode of a new NBC drama in West Philly tomorrow. Kind of cool. The bad news is that if you live within a few blocks of 49th and Larchwood, there’s a good chance that you will need to find a new place to park until Friday. And if you live a few more blocks away, your favorite spot might be gone by the time you read this.
The filming of Do No Harm, a modern-day “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” focusing on a neurosurgeon with a secret, starts filming on Thursday morning. But a ban on parking on streets near 49th and Larchwood begins this evening (Wednesday) at 6 p.m. and ends Friday morning at 1 a.m.
The streets reportedly run from 47th to 50th and Larchwood to as far south as Catharine. Neighbors on the impacted blocks (about seven blocks in all) should have received a flyer notifying them of the parking prohibitions (a reader named Renee tipped us off to this whole thing) and it looks like the streets have been posted. The production company has the proper permits from the City.
If you have any questions about the filming, call the production company’s local office at 215-977-2897 (see the flyer below).
In case you are wondering, Do No Harm premiers on Jan. 31, 2013 after the finale of 30 Rock.
The flyer sent to residents. Thanks to reader Renee.

NBCPhiladelphia has a reminder about the parking rate increase today. It’s going to cost you a little more to park in University City and Center City. Rates will increase by 50 cents to $2 an hour in University City and $2.50 an hour in Center City.
The rates apply to meters and kiosks. The increase stems from the recent decision to raise parking rates to help cover the School District of Philadelphia’s $629 million budget shortfall.
The city estimates that the parking rate increases, increases in property taxes and about $10 million from the City’s general fund will provide a little over $50 million for the School District.
