Philadelphia Council Debates Neighborhood Recognition Amid New Jersey Food Labeling Fine
What happened
The Philadelphia City Council is debating the recognition of a West Philadelphia neighborhood, though census records from 1940 indicate the area was only 28% Black before urban renewal changed it. Separately, New Jersey intends to fine the Kibitz Room $1,000 for calling itself a Jewish deli without disclosing that its food is not kosher.
