Center City Israel Palestine Rallys, StubHub Hacked, DO AC Beach Concerts

More than 630 Palestinians and about 35 Israelis have died in the conflict in Gaza, and today protesters for both sides rallied in Center City in an effort to raise support for their efforts. Dozens of protestors supporting Palestine stood on the steps of the Municipal Services Building, and directly across the street in Love Park, hundreds of protesters supporting Israel held a rally. Both sides peacefully protested and gave the reasons why they believe they are on the right side. One thing that both sides agreed on was an immediate cease fire to the violence going on â€” on that issue they stood in solidarity.

More than 1,600 StubHub user accounts were hacked into and used to purchase thousands of tickets.
Federal charges were made against several men in a cybercrime syndicate. Starting early last year, two Russian nationals would hack into accounts and buy tickets, about 3,500 in total, valued at over $1.5 million. They then would email the tickets to two men in Manhattan and New Jersey, who would resell them. Then, that money would be laundered in Canada and England.

While the Trump Plaza, Showboat and Revel casinos all look at possible closures by early fall, a pair of free country concerts are a week away, which will try to draw huge crowds of infrequent visitors to the resort city. Blake Shelton performs July 31st and Lady Antebellem on August 3, both on a stage currently being constructed on the north side of the Pier at Caesars. The shows will have a viewing area on the beach for 60,000 ticket holders and tens of thousands more can see the shows from the boardwalk and on jumbo screens. The â€œDO ACâ€ tourism campaign was in Center City Philadelphia Wednesday giving out free tickets to the shows. Promoters also stopped in Balitmore on July 16 and plan to be in New York City on Thursday with the clear mission to draw people to Atlantic City.

Weather, July 24

Cloudy start. More sun later. High 83 in Center City.
