The numbers are starting to roll in, and whether or not Philly cashed in on the summer festivities is a mixed bag. But Host Trenae Nuri, senior producer Abby Fritz, and Eric Marsh, director of The Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting, agree that the energy was electric. They also discuss the ongoing litigation that could shape how drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians share the road. Also, if you have some ideas for Market East, city planners are all ears at a new storefront pop-up.
