After two years of debating, Philadelphia City Council finally agreed to let the 76ers move forward with a Center City arena - only for the Sixers to change their minds and decide to build in the same spot in South Philly. How did this happen, and what does it mean for Chinatown and Market East? Plus, a Philly native living in L.A. shares his experience with the wildfires, a Penn professor gives his take on the ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, and as the Eagles take on the L.A. Rams in the playoffs, we learn that the Eagles fight song was not always what you hear at the stadium now.
