During that time, Kathryn led a team at PPR to serve Philadelphians in new ways - turning recreation centers into virtual learning hubs and transforming residential blocks into mobile summer camp experiences," Mayor Kenney said. "I thank her for her service and wish her the best."According to the Mayor's Office, Lovell is moving on to be the President and CEO of the Philadelphia Visitors Center Corporation, which helps enhance the experience of visitors to Philadelphia.

Biden, McCarthy reach final deal in debt ceiling talks, look to sell Congress

WASHINGTON (AP) - With days to spare before a potential first-ever government default, President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached final agreement Sunday on a deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling and worked to ensure enough Republican and Democratic votes to pass the measure in the coming week.The Democratic president and Republican speaker spoke with each other Sunday evening as negotiators rushed to draft the bill text so lawmakers can review compromises that neither the hard-right or left flank is likely to support.

National Park Service offering historic Cape Cod dune shacks for lease, frustrating long-time occupants

CAPE COD, Mass. - The National Park Service is offering proposals from prospective lessees for eight historic dune shacks along the Cape Cod National Seashore in Provincetown and Truro, Massachusetts. And while the government has said the fair market value for the shacks is between just $2,000 and $16,000 a year, depending on the size of the dwelling. The shacks are extremely rustic, most with limited running water and electricity, and most of current lessees use outhouses. The remote buildings are open to all bidders "as-is with all faults" and the lessees are expected to maintain the shacks and pay for repairs. Maintenance often includes sand removal, as the shifting dunes can cover a shack. The shacks have an illustrious history and were used for decades as retreats for writers and artists like Jack Kerouac, Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams and Jackson Pollock.BEST PLACES TO BUY A BEACH HOUSE IN THE US RANKED NPS's release on the leasing opportunity adds: "The dune shacks are small, weathered, and often built on pilings to adjust for the ever-moving sand dunes surrounding these properties.
