"Philadelphia City Council Proposes Business Curfew to Combat Open-Air Drug Market"

Philadelphia City Council is considering a bill that would impose curfews on some businesses in the Kensington neighborhood's open-air drug market, requiring them to close between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. due to the area's rampant addiction and crime issues. The proposal is part of ongoing efforts to address the drug crisis in Kensington, which has gained international attention for its extreme public drug use and high crime rates. The bill is part of a larger legislative package aimed at tackling illegal drug activity and quality-of-life nuisances in the area.
