Local organization hopes to guide youth away from crime through unique educational experiences

PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia organization dedicated to guiding the city's youth away from crime through unique educational opportunities recently brought dozens of children to the National Space Museum in Virginia. Vanessa Young and Teisha Brown run Power of Paint Art Academy and, with the help of sponsors, helped 36 children get an all expense paid trip to the NASA Space Museum to explore the field of aviation. "A lot of the kids we service otherwise may not get exposed to those career paths or even getting exposed to being outside the city of Philadelphia," Young said. Young and Brown hope their programs and mentorship save young lives that are far too often cut short in Philadelphia. "School age kids are getting hurt on their porch and on their way to school so just providing that outlet," Young said. It took less than three months for Philadelphia to exceed 100 homicides on the year, outpacing a historically bloody 2021. Pennsylvania State Representative Stephen Kinsey led a group canvassing East Germantown on Thursday to call attention to the continued rise in deadly crime.

'It's just a mess': Neighbors call small Philadelphia road one of the most dangerous in the city

PHILADELPHIA - A small street in the Germantown section of Philadelphia is causing big problems for neighbors who say an ongoing construction project has turned it into one of the most dangerous in the city. The 5500 block of Morton Street is a one-way road, adorned with the proper signage that warns motorists not to enter through the wrong side. Still, residents say a parade of cars is often spotted driving against the grain."Pretty much every time I come down, I hear someone coming up the wrong way," one resident said. The problem started last Fall when the Philadelphia Water Department began a sewer repair project on Church Lane, a road that intersects with Morton Street, Baynton Street and Belfield Avenue.In the months since, several streets have closed and caused a traffic nightmare that has subsequently sent some puzzled motorists up Morton Street."It's a mess, it's just one big mess, especially when they come the wrong way," Cynthia Frisby said. When drivers aren't heading the wrong way, some are speeding.
