Shore Safety, Upcycling Philly Trees, Wheelies on Sidewalks?!

It’s the Friday News Roundup! Today’s topics include the violence and chaos along the New Jersey shore over Memorial Day weekend, an initiative to recycle fallen trees, and what signifies the start of summer in Philly. Plus, the weird and wild stuff we saw on social media this week. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by O.J. Spivey, sports correspondent at The Philadelphia Tribune, and comedian and writer Alan Massenburg.

Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism: 

• Teen stabbed, multiple arrests made in Ocean City boardwalk chaos on Memorial Day weekend
• Following stabbing, Jersey Shore official says unruly teens won’t be allowed to ‘steal summer’
• Philly's fallen trees are being turned into building material at Fairmount Park
• Philadelphia Reforestation Hub will upcycle urban wood waste to support the city’s climate goals
