City officials have selected three finalists out of a dozen architecture firms who submitted proposals for the redesign of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, according to WHYY. The three remaining teams will now participate in a five-week-long public input process to help determine which plan is selected by the city.
The Wawa Welcome America Fourth of July concert will take place at the Mann Center for Performing Arts instead of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway this summer. It will be televised on NBC10 and streamed on the NBC10 apps and website, as well. This year's headliners are Bebe Rexha and Flo Rida. Tickets are free but necessary. They will become available on June 19. Fireworks will return to the Parkway for Independence Day.
