It’s the Friday News Roundup! Today’s topics include how the city handled clearing out an encampment of unhoused people in Kensington and why University of Pennsylvania graduate students voted to unionize. Plus, both Pat’s and Jim’s recently finished renovating their storefronts … but who has the better cheesesteak? Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Max Marin, reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Kristen Mosbrucker-Garza, business reporter at WHYY News.
Our Friday News Roundups are powered by great local journalism:
