Fire fighters had to battle a restaurant fire last night in the Mayfair section of Philadelphia. The Fire broke out at around 6 p.m. at Owens Cafe on the 2800 block of Cottman Avenue. Crews who arrived on the scene noticed the fire stretching from the cafe to other businesses on the block. As of now, no injuries have been reported.

As the Spring Season comes around it is always a good time to take pictures in different and unique places to post of social media sites. Well SEPTA officials are now warning people that it's train tracks are off limits to taking pictures on. Scott Sauer, SEPTA's Assistant General Manager of System Safety said "if you take photos or shoot video on the tracks, that picture or film might be the last footage you take. Tracks are for trains. They are not photo or movie studios." SEPTA also wants to remind everyone that walking on the tracks is consider illegal trespassing.

The Flyers honored their founder Ed Snider before Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs last night. Snider who died last week after a 2-year-long battle with cancer was honored all throughout the game. The Flyers hung a banner outside of the Wells Fargo Center with his Sillouette inside of the Flyers logo. "EMS" which are Snider's initials were painted on the ice and behind each net for the game. Fans even left flowers and cards for the deceased owner outside of the stadium next to the team flag.

The Phillies play at home tonight at 7 against the Mets.

Today, Clear and Sunshine, with a high of 74 in Center City.
