Philly’s school safety program to shield kids from violence was working. So where did it go?
A key violence prevention program disappeared from schools across Philly this fall, including in Kensington—just when students needed it most.

We asked what you wanted from a local news outlet. You told us positivity. Since Valentine’s Day falls in February, we decided to use our second issue to showcase a few stories about love in Kensington. We found an overwhelming number of love stories — so we’ll be adding a few more before the month is over. Happy Valentine’s Day, Kensington! Stay tuned for more Kensington love on the way.
