Why is Philadelphia So Expensive?
Why is Philadelphia so expensive? At first thought you may not expect Philadelphia to be an expensive tourist destination, but think again, especially if staying in the downtown area of Philadelphia. Average hotels in downtown Philly start at around $200 and range to as high as $1000. Also the tax rates in Philly are high.

Abandoned Philadelphia Home for Sale Is Booby Trapped
A real estate investor in Philadelphia is lucky to be alive after finding multiple booby traps in an abandoned home while on a viewing. Ekrem Uysaler discovered a large, swinging knife duct-taped to a crutch, activated by a tripwire. He also found a pile of broken glass on the stairs, as well as a floor board with more than a dozen spikes sticking out of it. “I have never seen anything like this before,” said Uysaler.

Royce Brown At Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary
The following video contains graphic images and language.
Royce Brown was in prison at the Lewisburg federal penitentiary in central Pennsylvania. In January 2014, Brown was removed from a cell and put in four-point restraints, which chain an inmate's arms and legs to a platform.
At Lewisburg, one of the toughest prisons in America, doubling up inmates in cells designed for solitary confinement can lead to violence, and for some who refuse a cellmate, they can be placed in handcuffs and chains.

US East Coast mob sweep sees 46 indicted
(5 Aug 2016) Declaring that the Mafia is not just the stuff of movie scripts, US federal prosecutors charged nearly four dozen people on Thursday with being part of an East Coast crime syndicate, including an old-school mobster in New York and a reputed mob chieftain in Philadelphia who has been pursued by the government for decades.
The indictment, unsealed in New York City, accuses the defendants of a litany of classic mafia crimes, including extortion, loan-sharking, casino-style gambling, sports gambling, credit card fraud and health care fraud.
It said the syndicate operated in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Florida and New Jersey.
Among those charged was Joseph Skinny Joey Merlino, the flamboyant alleged head of the Philadelphia mob who has repeatedly beat murder charges in past cases, but served nearly 12 years in prison for racketeering.
