Hot in the City; Vote for Theater Liquor License; Poor Marks for Child Care Centers

After welcoming the unofficial start of Summer with a picture perfect Memorial Day weekend, the heat and humidity will get up to mid-summer form this week. The Heat Index will get into the 90's every day and some much needed rain will likely come in the form of late day showers and thunderstorms. Heat warnings are in effect this week. Find air conditioned space for relief.

The effort to restore and reopen the Lansdowne Theater got a boost last Tuesday when residents voted overwhelmingly to grant liquor licenses to performing arts facilities in Lansdowne. The vote was convincing - 1,254 to 214. A nonprofit group bought the 1920s-era theater in 2007 and has been raising money toward its reopening in a few years.

Child Care Centers in Pennsylvania are getting poor grades. A federal audit of 20 government-subsidized child-care facilities found 17 of them had serious health and safety hazards, administrative violations, or performed incomplete background checks. Only three sites were in compliance with Child Care and Development Block Grant standards. The others logged as many as 16 violations apiece. Among the violations were broken glass in play areas, an unfenced pool, moldy toilets, and the concealing of criminal charges, including child endangerment, against one of the operators.
