And You Thought Guns on the Streets Were a Problem

The Philadelphia Daily News has discovered that caches of old weapons and ammunition are all over the place at City Hall, including in one room with over 800 rounds of ammunition (but no fire alarm.) The Fire Department, until checking earlier this week, had no idea of the existence of the stash, which in the event of a fire would likely cause massive explosions that could endanger the lives of the more than 1000 employees at City Hall.

Becca and I were at City Hall the other night to get our marriage license, and were shocked at how awful the building looks- it's over 100 years old, but has clearly been in disrepair for at least half that time. Come on, politicians- can't you set aside a few thousand out of what you steal each year to give the building a makeover?
