Every year is a magical time for any kid. Well a trip here to the king of prussia mall yesterday by a Montgomery County family was absolutely ruined and it was all thanks to a real life grinch.

We are kind of busy. Overturned box truck but we have had an accident earlier this morning that left the driver in Critical Condition and ramp closures. We will talk about that coming up. Very quiet on this side of the deck. When weather really has calm down, a very, very tranquil look over center city and we do thankfully have a light wind to go with this for the most part.

If you dont use academy road, anyone who uses woodhaven, is forced to go north on 95. And then were going to make the uturn laverne here at street road. That interchange is the hot mess to begin
