Philadelphia

Even worse. It's one thing to rip off Seattle,  but Philly best not be trying to duplicate anything LA.

I guess it was only a matter of time though before we started seeing corporate/chain landmarks.

No.  It's pretty cool but I prefer landmarks and attractions to be unique to each city and Seattle already has one. 

The philly version will contain a cut of fentanyl

In case this wasn't posted somewhere or already common knowledge
... and lol at the last line

You can breathe a little easier today, stoners, and not just because you probably are into vaping now. Philadelphia City Council voted today to decriminalize the possession of up to an ounce of weed. Even the heaviest stoners rarely buy more than an ounce at a time, so this bill is good news for Philadelphia potheads from the casual smoker to the wake-and-bake stoner.

The bill was first introduced by Councilman Jim Kenney in May. Under Kenney's bill, Philadelphians caught with up to an ounce (30 grams) of marijuana would not be arrested. After they paid a $25 fine, they'd have the charge expunged from their record. (Presumably, their weed would also be confiscated.) Since June 2010, Philadelphia has treated possession of up to an ounce of weed as a summary offense punishable with a $200 fine and a three-hour class on drug abuse.

"After discussions with Philadelphia's criminal justice stakeholders, my requests to end mandatory custodial arrests — i.e. handcuffs and a night in jail — were deemed an 'administrative burden' on our courts and police," Kenney told NBC10.com in May. "Public officials shouldn't be worried about 'administrative burdens' when our inaction is senselessly burdening over 4,000 people with life-changing criminal records each year."

Two Republican members of City Council, Dennis O'Brien and David Oh, spoke out against the bill. O'Brien suggested the law could eventually lead to "assaults on police officers."

southbound lanes.....

The Delaware Department of Transportation said Wednesday that part of the I-495 bridge could open early, perhaps before Labor Day. Previous projections put the bridge opening sometime after the holiday.
