City Cast Philly

Judges on the Ballot, Bus Station on the Move, SNAP on Hold

Listen Later

It’s the Friday News Round up. We offer our guide to Philly’s election next week and explain why these races matter to the city and state. We tell you where to get free food in the city as SNAP benefits run out. Plus, the Philadelphia Parking Authority may renovate the intercity bus terminal and move it back to Filbert Street!?! Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz talk about these stories, where to trick-or-treat, and the viral phrase “6-7.”
