UNIVERSITY CITY: Penn and Drexel are looking to expand their target market, a lot. Both universities are trying to set up specialized high schools in University City. Get em while they’re young. [KYW]
NORTHERN LIBERTIES: “You got a lot more wrong than the zipcode. The street is SANSOM.” OK, OK!!! [NoLibs]
