There Is A Manhunt Going On!

Unfortunately crime is a very big issue in the city of Philadelphia. There have even been jokes made because Philadelphia is known as the city of brotherly love and lots of people like to make jokes about that.

There is a major manhunt going on today because a police officer got shot. At the area of 66th & Broad Street (where Broad Street and Old York Road meet) a police officer was shot in the head as he entered a Dunkin Donuts store. (Before you start making jokes about cops and donuts you should know that in this case the policeman was doing a routine check at the Dunkin Donuts because it had been robbed before.

According to the news this happened around 10:30 this morning. It seems that the policeman entered the shop just as a robbery was taking place. The robber shot the police officer in the head and then took his gun and then fled.

So the police have launched a massive manhunt for this man! Schools and daycares in the area were put on lockdown and the parents that were concerned about their children could check the news and find out the status of the schools and daycare centers where their children were.

I live near the area - well near enough to hear the police helicopters in the sky and they are still there as of late this afternoon.

Of course you can find out what is going on now concerning this incident by checking either your local news or KYW radio.

The Children's Hospital Of Philadelphia Has Job Openings!

What is so surprising is the number of job openings that the Children's Hospital Of Philadelphia has! There are quite a few of them and they are varied. Everything from RN and nurses to office positions are available!

The only caveat here is that to apply for the jobs you have to apply via their website. I know someone who went to the hospital in person and couldn't even apply for the job in person because the information - including his job application and resume had to be submitted online and submitted via the hospital's website.

So if you're looking for a job then you can visit the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's website

Well It Doesn't Look Too Good For The Phillies Does It?

I'm not a big sports fans but who can't help but get caught up in the Phillies Fever craze? They are in the play-offs now but they have lost the first two games! The best three out of five - so we still have some time (and some hope) left!

You know what they say - Never Give Up! and Never Give Up Hope!
