Look at the radar, there is rain on the radar right now, we have some white, and you probably know by now what those colors mean, it means that we have, a mix have of preuptation in plenty of places. We will all in closer. You can see berks county, northern montgomery and bucks,
Lehigh Valley
, poconos getting some snow this morning. Tricky travel, possible, and wind advisory, has been lifted , from yesterday, so that is a good thing but wind speeds still breezy out there 14 miles an hour in philadelphia, 16 in at
Atlantic City
with wind gusts of 24, 20 miles an hour and compared to yesterday that doesnt seem like much at all but the temperatures have dropped in many places. Most of the time at surface it is above freezing but in the upper atmosphere we see some snow, and sleet mixed the with the rain. We have 30 degrees in mount pocono where it could be very slippery because it is below freezing but everybody else is above. In weather by the numbers today it the is upgraded to a four there yesterdays two and we will stay in the 40s all day. Windy, rainy still this morning, mostly cloudy throughout the day and our storm will exit with a few left over showers, this evening. Sunset time 5 11 and bob kelly , at least it is not as bad as yesterday but it is still here. It is still here. I could not believe it, it is still raining, driving in on the schuylkill expressway this morning. Knuckle head that are flying by me at like 80 miles an hour coming through the
Construction Zone
s, way too fast. We are all heading out the front door we are trailblazers just take your time. We will all be late. I think that is going to be the normal today. The heres an accident one of many northbound 309 right here near susquehanna road, again, there is water, every where. There is puddles on your secondary roads and your side streets, there is ponding, on the
Construction Zone
s, of i95, and the schuylkill and 422, even downtown, on the vine street expressway we have some ponding. Were still closed on the turnpike connection bridge, it the will be with us for a while, again, the same drill as we had to deal with yesterday, alternates would be scudder falls,
Trenton Morrisville
bridge or the burlington bristol bridge for folks coming in from new jersey, again exit number six is closed, so if you dont think ahead at exit 7a, you will be forced to jump off at exit number five and navigate, through the heavy detour that was the biggest delay we had yesterday. Route 70 in cherry hill westbound still closed we had an accident last night, pulled down the power lines, they have been making repairs on the overnight, right thousand westbound coming toward philadelphia, still closed at cropwell road, we had big delays, and, services suspensions last night on septas
Regional Rail
. We will hit the that reset and start with the clean slate at least for the morning and then expect delays, in and out of
Philadelphia International
again this morning. So check ahead with the airline, karen, back to you. Really busy, bob, thanks very much. We have had flooding down at the shore, people dreading the high tide that will happen this morning. We have live team coverage, we have
Lauren Johnson
live from cherry hill, where road were closed as bob was discussing but we will start with steve keeley whom we see there. A lot of the
School Delays
we are seeing is from that shore area. Good morning to you. Reporter yeah, they will open two hours later and they are hoping by then that will give
School Bus Drivers
more time to get around. Before the high tide even hits we have got roads shut. Black horse pike here route 40 , shut down, because it the has been flooded none in stop for at least ten hours, when the police notified everybody, who were forced off. We will see headlights coming westbound toward you, karen toward philadelphia, leaving
Atlantic City
and youll see as these vehicles come toward our camera shot if we can swing back around you can see over the median and see headlights coming toward you and what is happening is they can use black horse pike, leaving, because westend avenue isnt flooding where it does where we were live yesterday but as we come up here they cannot get to pleasantville and west
Atlantic City
and
Egg Harbor Township
simply because it ties flooded. So that is why they have the big transportation trucks that you saw with the big yellow arrow. Here comes four vehicles. Even this early we have got the morning russias people try to commute back to philadelphia and they are forced on to the
Atlantic City
expressway. So if they thought they were going to drive without a toll using black horse pike, forget it, you are forced to pay the toll, and hit the
Atlantic City
expressway because westbound lanes are flooded, and even on the bays, where there is no high tide just yet because high tide on the ocean s are around 5 00 a. M. That means high tide on the back bay seven to eight to 9 00 a. M. , so we will see even worse flooding, later in the morning. Got news is the
Atlantic City
expressway always elevated more than route 40 where we are or route 30, better known as white horse pike, also shut down, because of flooding, and these roads if you notice driving on them they are just four lanes on top of marsh london both sides and that is why even the billboard as you will see toward the left are always out there with planks on them because guys that work on the billboards essentially walk on a little will boardwalk and doing work above water like they are right now. So flooding, already, down the shore and that
School Opening
late, karen two hours late, that may be not enough time for some people to get around if these roads are still flooded as late as eight and 9 00 a. M. When back bays start to flood all of the local roads for
People Living
down here, year round like these folks are now dealing with it already at 4 00 this is morning. I think we will have problems. Was it jared with you clearing off camera there, is it still raining . Reporter say that again, karen. Is your photographer karen, yeah, thanks, thumbs up, keeping camera dry. Try to keep try too, steve. Lets look at from another
Vantage Point
down the shore. We have a lot of the cars steve was discussing moving around trying to get an early start given road closures. Lets look at last evening. Our
Chris Oconnell
was in avalon with the big gusting wind there made it difficult to stand up during that time. The let take a look. Reporter it has been a long night along the new jersey shore this northeast to ter still pounding new jersey shore towns. We are here along townsend inlet a unprotect area between avalon and sea isle and im sure you can hear, and see, the winds winning along here. I have been measuring clocking wind here with my meter and upward of 60mile an hour gusts overnight. The winds were the most concern. Earlier last night it was flooding, from ocean city to after license to wildwood, almost every street corner, was flooding. We saw tow truck operators, doing a tough business in terms of all night they said that yanking cars, out of waters that have been flooded. Minor damage, to speak of. We hear there are scattered
Power Outages
but nothing major to speak of, other than we can almost certainly once sunrises this morning we will see a lot of beach erosion, once we see on these local beaches. Cape may county
Emergency Management
says they will be in touch with those local officials tomorrow to assess what kind of beach erosion but i can tell you by screens anytime a noreaster comes our way local beaches usually, lose a few feet of beaches as we continue to sianni feel some of these wind bands continues to pound the new jersey shore this morning n avalon,
Chris Oconnell
, fox 29 news. And there definitely will be beach erosion. We have 2500 people, without power, right now. So, bob had touched on this one of the problem areas we have been having has been route zero seven in cherry hill westbound side remains closed right now after a snapped telephone pole shut down that roadway. Lets get to that area with
Lauren Johnson
right now, good morning, lauren. Reporter good morning. We have all braced for those strong wind, and they blew right through this area and crews are left to clean up the mess. We are live along route zero seven in cherry hill this morning where westbound lanes remain closed after those strong wind, did pull some power lines down and snapped some electric poles here in this area. The road was closed in both directions yesterday, work crews brought in giant generators while drivers were detoured from this area for hours. I was actually, im an uber driver so i was picking up folks dropping them from medford from the airport and getting here i went 15 minutes in the the neighborhoods and came right back out. That was, on both ways. So this is me going back to the city right now. Reporter late last night eastbound lanes were opened, backup but that did not help any southern new
Jersey Drivers
who used westbound lanes heading towards philadelphia. It is expected to remain closed throughout the morning rush hour so, of course, expect some detours and delays in this area. So back out here live, there is about ten to 12 trucks here pse and g and verizon trucks trying to work hard in the overnight the hours to get these power lines backup and bring some power back to the people who have been inconvenienced by this crazy weather, karen. Lauren, we will stay on top of it. Thank you so much. The these storms have been deadly in our area, a hunting park man died, police say wind knocked that sign right off in the man who was just simply sweeping the streets right there he works at dn thes auto sales at old york road. Sign fell off ape killed the 59 yearold man who was employee simply to go his job when that tragedy struck. Strong wind gusts are being blamed for blowing part of the mural on the side of the hahnemann hospital. Some pieces that were hit struck two cars park underneath, no people were injured. Amtrak and new
Jersey Transit
officials both say riders may still be experiencing significant delays, in the service this morning. Trains were delayed for hours, yesterday, when wires along northeast corridor came down that backed up trains in and out of the 30th street station , pen station new york,
Union Station
in washington for more than three hours. There are a number of people waking up without power right now almost 1200 peco customers have no power, pse g is reporting 118 customers in the dark and ac electric has more than 1900 customers without power, there. Of course, we are staying on top of the the story and damage from the noreaster. Get updates the right there on your phone and mobile device on fox 29 app. We will be right back, bob . We also have have the
School Opening
and delays across the bottom of our screen there some of the kids will get a chance to sleep in this morning. Watch for ponding on 495 and i95 in wilmington. The lets go outside good morning to the the platt bridge heading to the airport we will check tote boards, sue by has the the forecast when we come right back. Know you can save today for whats important tomorrow. Stop the rain, yeah. The it is still falling on our head, 4 15, a live look at penns landing. Sue will tell us when we think this will be stopping and moving out and what will happen to it, sue. Short answer is eventually, not yet, and at least though it is not as bad the rain, places where it rain where we were yesterday showing thus off shore storm but as we zoom in closer where you see purple and pinkies where sleet, freezing rain are mixing in with the rain, as it falls in parts of the montgomery and bucks counties, up through lehigh veil, and even in berks county as we zoom in closer we can see richland, buckingham, tinicum you might have droplets of sleet on your window. Easton and snow in mount pocono, light accumulations up there. Down at the shore we have light rain and some wind blowing what happened yesterday around. So, we have peak wind gusts from yesterday, cape may 63 miles an hour. Same for slaughter beach, if delaware. Talk are ton, new jersey 60 miles an hour. Ocean city and
Seaside Heights
, 59 miles an hour wind gusts. Inland we had wind gusts interesting as well. Philadelphia, 45 miles an hour , that is
Tropical Storm
force, millville, new jersey, 48 miles an hour, at the airport
Atlantic City
at 52 miles an hour. So, things have calmed down a lot from, wind speed right the now sustained at 15 miles an hour. We will call that breezy and windy, gusts of 18 miles an hour in trenton. 24 miles an hour in dover. 18 miles an hour in wildwood. That is where we have at the moment. Winter weather advisory continues through the rest of the day for poconos mountains for the possibility, of more snow falling, maybe mixed with some rain and sleet. 38 degrees in philadelphia we are much chillier then we were yesterday, we will probably inch backup in the the 40s by end of the day and our coastal
Flood Warning
continues especially at times of high tide for southern two counties of delaware and lower counties of new jersey, because of this noreaster the impacts as you heard are about most of the the shore, street flooding, at times of the high tide, that is ocean high tide between five and 6 00 oclock this morning and then in an hour, hour and a half later for back bays, minor to
Minor Property
damage and we have to wait until today light to see about the beach erosion, but usually there is some with a storm such as this. 42 degrees today. Fiftythree tomorrow. This day is day to hang on for when sun comes back out. Were in the the 50s. The it looks like thursday will be a similar day maybe a few more cloud and then it the gets chilly again, reminder, through the weekend, bob kelly , it is still wintertime. Yes, it is and we certainly are lucky to have the rain verse the option which would have been the snow if the temperatures were a little will lower. Good morning, everybody. 4 17. 38 degrees outside, still rain , still wet here, live look at the schuylkill expressway, and
Martin Luther
king drive, art museum all lit up there just watch the speeds there are puddles every where. Until we say daylight it is tough to see those puddles until you are sipping through them, almost like the log flum right down on the boardwalk. Heres a live look at the 42 freeway you can see steady rain and still some wind out there as well, as we roll out of the driveway. Mass transit, were going to start the morning with some expected delays. I know we had a hut down of the northeast corridor last night, expect some morning delays on amtrak, patco, septa , new
Jersey Transit

Reduced speeds on all of our area bridges like 35 is an example on ben franklin bridge an accident in lower merion rose glenn and mapel hill road watch for a lot of the down trees and down branches, again , were trailblazers, first ones out of the gate this morning especially on the secondary roads an inside streets. If you dont have offer head streetlights working in areas with a power outage, dont even chance, going across the roadway that may have a down tree because underneath that tree could be down wires, and dont even think about driving through a high water, they teach us that when were taking our driving lessons like im giving my driving test to my 16 yearold right thousand. Shore flooding portions of the white horse pike, black horse pike, portions of route nine, we heard from steve down the shore, roadways, flooded out, portions of which just too numerous to mention but from l bi all the way down to cape may watch out for some flooded roadways this morning. The turnpike connector bridge remains closed. This is day number two, of the alternates. We have the burlington bristol bridge for the locals, you have the
Trenton Morrisville
bridge that gets you in and out of trenton off of route one and then i95 scudder falls bridge. If you are using the turnpike you can go as far as
Delaware Valley
but they are asking that just to be used for local traffic for the most part and they want everybody to exit at route one and then head north and from there you can split and decide when want to use route one or i95 to cross the river, karen, back to you. We have had a
Police Involved

Business Practices<\/a> in bars backed up numerous complaints of racism and discrimination over issues like dress code. Only one of the bars that we subpoenaed has a dress code , one. In the absence of written policies, the staff has given a lot of discretion which can lead to different treatment. They said it themselves in the 1980s this was happening, and it is near what was happening in the 1980s. That is a problem. Reporter mayor kenney says justice wont stop with the release of the report and called on victims of the alleged discrimination to speak up. We need people to inform as you toss what is going on we need people to report to take trek action. If that is

Well, it will, eventually but not today. I think we will be see on and off rain and maybe frozen precipitation from this. We will have the forecast coming up. It is still raining looking live at ben franklin parkway, flags are still blowing, a lot of left overs there yesterday and we have to navigate through that plus we have a lot of schools that have delayed opening. Mostly down the shore, looking at wildwood, brigantine, because they have flooding back there we will talk about tideness just a moment. Good morning. Thanks for joining us on this very busy tuesday, we will head over to you. We need to know what is happening. The wind will not be as bad as yesterday and the rain will ease up, as well. But now we have frozen precipitation in the the mix. This storm is drawing down some cold air from the north and that means north and west of philadelphia we are seeing some slippery spots, in montgomery and bucks county in particular, and up in the
Lehigh Valley<\/a> and snow is falling in the pocono mountains. For rest of us, it is rain, drizzle will. 16 miles an hour wind sustained so that is not as bad as yesterday and wind gusts that are not as high as what we saw, during the peak of the yesterdays storm. It is chillier then yesterday as well, 38 degrees in philadelphia, 36 in allentown, below freezing in mount pocono , 39 degrees in wildwood when you get that rain or freezing rain or sleet, it will be, very chilly with that and four out of ten is your number to take. We will go with a high of 41, 42 degrees with the possibility of a few showers anytime during the day, that is the the exit, of this storm , and we will talk about the peak weather day of the week, which is, tomorrow. The sun will come out, tomorrow. 4 32. Good morning, everybody. I will work on the singing and we will get better as we move throughout the morning, all right. Live look here hello
Painters Crossing<\/a> route one at 202 where wipers are still on road are still wet there is ponding , puddles, debris, some tree limbs and, of course, we have flooded roadways down the shore this south jersey the tree way is an example what is happening right now we have got that spray kicking up, daylight, so you dont know where puddles are until you have gone through them like you are with the log flum especially on the secondary roads an inside streets and in the
Construction Zone<\/a>s. All bridges have speed restrictions down to 35 miles an hour because of the wind, in lower merion, rose glenn and mapel hill road an accident, crash in plymouth conshohocken road and academy drive. As far as mass transit expect delays. We will leave it right there as for this morning. We have had the shut down of the northeast corridor last night, we had delays, and shut downs on septas
Regional Rail<\/a> , and we also had delays on patco. We will start hit the reset button and we will see how this develops, but, expect is delays through the morning rush hour. We will go down the shore in a minute but portions of the white horse pike, black horse pike, route nine, from lbi all the way down to the tip of the cape may there are portions of red ways that are closed, flooded out, and do not the attempt to drive through that high water. In addition we also have have that close another of the turnpike bridge remaining here this morning. Again same deal as yesterday we have three alternates, burlington bristol,
Trenton Morrisville<\/a> bridge or i95
Scudders Falls<\/a> and we have a lot of schools that are going to be opening up late, so kid have an extra two hours this morning to do their homework we have all those delayed opening is a cross the bottom of the screen. Karen, back over to you. Those are happening right the now in new jersey, so we are covering all weather situations right now we have rain still over our heads, gusty wind are staying with us and they are creating lots of problems. We have team coverage. Lauren johnson is over where bobbies just talking about in cherry hill we have roads closed. We will begin with steve down the shore with conditions there as we get closer to high tide, steve. Reporter it is better than yesterday but still complete thely miserable and sue, irate this on a scale of one to ten as a fraction on a 7 8th, yesterday was below a 7 8, not a two to me. We are on the black horse pike , abe we made it down to west end avenue that i mentioned always floods at 4 00. We stood there. Able to park there yesterday. You can see even though we are probably about four to five hours from the actual high tide at this spot, it is flooded out. So west end avenue, which is the right turn everybody makes to go to those down beach communities, ventnor, margate, longport, forget it. We showed you yesterday this was like the roosevelt boulevard of the down beach communities, very busy road during the morning rush hour and today you need a boat with a good engine because of the good current. Look at that bay with big waves, going in toes west end avenue into the parking lot and down the street where baga bond place is. We showed you moose lodge and bagabond is lighting up. Joan byes, one of the original bagaband and i feel like one out here again, but this is, jim whalens turf, long time mayor and soon to be retiring state senator who lives here in west at
Atlantic City<\/a>. They are used to this. Nobody wants to come out their front door and see a foot or two or water. Bay water. You see
Atlantic City<\/a> sign all lit up nicely to give you a sense of where we are. Good thing about black horse pike here at this bend it is like an old hot wheels track and would be kelly, if you are watching, you remember the curves and hot wheels track it is like nasa car track. It is banked and goes up a hill and that is you why can get past this spot the but you will be forced off as we showed you on to the
Atlantic City<\/a> expressway. You cannot go to the black horse pike all the way to philadelphia because it is flooding in different sots in each direction and this will be complete thely flooded soon we see headlights coming at you right the you this but they are going to be forced on to the ac expressway and you can actually make out sky line of the still opened casinos there, and that tells you that visibility is not so bad, but hopefully people are visible and can see not just fly through here at 50 miles an hour like we are seeing people splash through here, even a new
Jersey Transit<\/a> the bus just headed through but a little rough sledding gannon day two and that is why we have a couple hours extra for kids to get to school down here. Schools in the closed but opening up later and you can see why, karen. Absolutely we have flooding on those low lying roads, we have trees down creating problems, and they have issues westbound lanes are still closed right now, lets get out to
Lauren Johnson<\/a> with the very latest there, lauren. Reporter hi, karen good morning to you. We heard about all of the wind coming in yesterday and they were damaging here in cherry hill, in fact knocked down, electric poles here and we have wires hanging, so the westbound lanes are still closed this morning but high wind yesterday brought those poles down and caused them to snap, the road was closed in both directions as you can imagine the headache and chaos it caused here in cherry hill as drivers tried to hand age and maneuver to get around this area work crews brought in giant generators while drivers were detoured for hours leaving many of them frustrated. It just took me for a round about adventure. I am a uber driver dropping them from medford from the airport and getting here to this little detour i went 15 minutes in the neighborhood and came right back out. That was, you know, both ways. So this is me willing back to the city right now. Reporter eastbound lanes were opened backup but that does not help for morning commute for southern new
Jersey Drivers<\/a> that use westbound lanes heading towards philadelphia who will to have find another way to get where they are going. We can expect to it remain closed throughout the morning rush hour. There will be detours and delays in this area. You can see there are many truck is still out here pse and g, we have seen comcast, verizon. That digs to the our lines out it seems other
Utility Services<\/a> have been interrupted as well, karen . Lauren, thanks. We will stay on top of that and all of the developments from this noreaster now impacting our area.

Minnesota governor mark tray ton plans to return to work today after pretty frightening collapse that happened last night giving his state of of the state a dress. Wow, that is when governor was wrapping up his speech, 40 when he slumped and went down his aid were right there and they caught him as he fell lawmakers immediately adjourned after a few moments and did regain consciousness and he left the capitol under his own power. Coming up next on good day , this is good food a brand new diner just opened up and doing a whole lot more than just serving up good food but it is serving up a hand up as well. What are you doing up . Mom said i could have a midnight snack. Its not even midnight, its ten fortythree. Well, lets have a ten fortythree snack. Quietly, though. Okay. Yeah. Mmmm. Shhhh.

Some of the kid will have have a delayed opening, mainly a lot of the schools, down the shore area. We have delayed opening scrolling across the bottom of our screen here and heres live look at knap road a great example we have rain, wind here coming at you sideways, and, of course, we have puddles along the roadways. So a little bit of everything. Yes, it is still raining. Maybe not as hard as it was this time yesterday but we are dealing with the left overs, puddles are out there and until we get daylight it is kind of tough to see puddles until you hit it hard, especially here in the work zones like the vine street expressway, opened but as you come through the
Construction Zone<\/a> again those drainage grates are not located in the report spot. Is there natural puddles forming from all this rain that has had in where to go over the past couple of days, as we heard westbound lanes of route 70 remain closed. Now that is coming in toward philadelphia. It is closed at cropwell which is just off of route 73 right by marlton diner that is spotty went to one of my breakfast segments. I know that area well. Your best bet use the old marlton pike through that stretch and that will cause grid lock here, 70. Seventythree, again only one traffic light off of that busy 70, 73 interchange there in marlton. Expect delays this morning town at the airport, not just here in philadelphia but of course weather in other parts of the country having a domino effect on arrivals and departures. No one will get there on time today so we will have to relax all of our appointment rules here, reduced speed 35 miles an hour an all area bridges and lower merion a crash, rose glenn and mapel hill road and plymouth, conshohocken road at academy drive. As far as mass transit we have had delays, cancellations, down wires all through the day yesterday, we will hit the reset and we will start off with no delays, at least out of the gate, amtrak, september , patco reporting normal conditions, but hopefully we wont have anything like we had to deal with yesterday. As we heard there steve down the shore portions of the the white horse pike, black horse pike, route nine from lbi all the way down to the tip of cape may along the shore points there is area that are flooded, high water, playing it safe and dont drive through any of the standing high water, turnpike connection bridge remains closed to vehicle traffic again indefinite thely, burlington bristol
Trenton Morrisville<\/a> or scudder falls are your best alternate. When will this noreaster get out of here . Sueby has that answer in 15 seconds. So it is not quite out of here just yet our off shore low is kind of,
Weather Service<\/a> used the terms, meand ering toward north east which means it is not in any hurry to get out of here and throwing back some moisture, to the north and the west of that low pressure system so we will zoom in ande just what is going on . You can see pink in parts of bucks and montgomery counties here up toward
Lehigh Valley<\/a>s and white toward poconos, light snow is falling, and some of it is sleet is mixing in with the rain but the surface temperatures air above freezing, so hopefully it is not causing too many problems but be on the alert for slippery spots in bucks county , up towards the pocono mountains that is where temperatures are below freezing. We have had light rain mostly on this back end in ocean county at the moment. So wind have calm down a lot since yesterday, we will call it merely breezy instead of the wind which 17 miles an hour sustain wind in philadelphia, and a few wind gusts in the 24 miles an hour range down in dover, 22 miles an hour in wildwood, certainly , better than yesterday,
Winter Weather<\/a> advisory does continue for the mountainous areas through rest of the the daytoday. 37 degrees in philadelphia right now. It is chillier out there but after sunrise we do expect to inch backup in the 40s and stay there for rest of the day because we will see a lot of cloud cover. Our coastal
Flood Warning<\/a> continues, until this evening, and for all of the area well, near the coast, because as you have seen with our reports, there steve keeley, it is still pretty bad at the shore with the street flooding, we have got minor to moderate
Property Damage<\/a> and after sunrise we might be able to assess what kind of beach erosion there has been, if any 42 degrees today with rain. 53 degrees tomorrow with sun. Mix of sun and included on thursday, thursday night a cold front comes through, and hopefully without any rain, but it will chill things down in time for the weekend. Another cold trent comes through sunday into monday giving us high temperatures in the 30s, which we have not seen in quite a while, karen is this. Our
Bill Anderson<\/a> is taking to us a brand new restaurant on a hip center city block that has amazing comfort food but also offering a different kind of comfort too, all of the money they make, all of it will go help homeless. Bill has story of the rooster soup kitchen. Reporter
Rittenhouse Square<\/a> area of the city has always been a contradiction, on the same blocks where you have some of the most expensive real estate and restaurant in the city, you have people walking past and over the
Homeless Population<\/a> to get there but somewhat obvious option are two working together to help each other they ever seem to happen, until right now. Federal doughnuts which is our business, we have had extra chicken, spare chicken but there are parts of the chicken that are useful you would not fry and serve like a chicken trum stick. We said how can we use this food and not let it go to waste and also help broad street and basically we thought we will make soup. Reporter broad street is broad
Street Ministry<\/a> serving homeless and needy population in note i have ways for year this he were thrilled that a successful business wanted to help them but to keep their programs going they needed money more than soup. We thought lets sell the soup and turn those profits over to broad street to support their mission which we feel is are really important to creating a better philadelphia. Reporter after 180,000 this donations from the public , a lot of lanning, design, not only will they sell soup, but now the
Rooster Soup Company<\/a> is a cool diner, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and donating all net profits. You have to be here eight to eight you have a full staff working. You are managing a restaurant. To ultimately headache profits to give them away. Yes. Reporter
Walking Around<\/a> opening day i saw that the conn president is is really simple. They have been successful so they want to give back. Much of crowd embraced it immediately. I think it is a great way to get food, get the something you need and get lunch but also support a great cause at the same time. Cool new restaurant doing something great for the community. Why wouldnt you want to support that. Reporter if things go according to projections
Rooster Soup Company<\/a> should be able to provide money for 20,000 plus meals annually for the broad street mission, plus additional necessities, that is their mission, but in order to be successful their focused on just being a great restaurant and the rest will take care of itself. Maybe you dont care about them that is fine too. Maybe just looking for eggs and cup of coffee or maybe just need to have lunch with a collogue at work or meet your kid or go for happy hour with your friend and that is why were here because all these things are normal, natural, do you them every day anyway so why not do something for somebody else too. Rooster soup company is unique but wouldnt it be interesting if it wasnt if the concept of doing something good for your community after you have been successful is just something that we took as second nature. Goodness sake im
