13 Jason Kelce Career Highlights, More Snow & Aggressive Raccoons
It’s the Friday News Roundup! Today's topics include Philly's response to the end of our nearly two-year snow drought, reactions to Jason Kelce (maybe) calling it quits after 13 seasons with the Eagles, and West Philly’s aggressive raccoon problem. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Ximena Conde, general assignment reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer, and O.J. Spivey, sports contributor at The Philadelphia Tribune.
Our Friday News Roundups are powered by great local journalism:
- Philadelphia weather: Tracking another 5-6 inches of snow Friday
- From Mummers regalia to his Christmas crooning, Jason Kelce stands apart
- Rabid raccoons in West Philly? No definitive proof yet, but animal control says it’s better to be safe.
