The remains of two missing residents from the West Chester senior living home fire that took place last week, have been recovered in the wreckage. The fire broke out at the Barclay Friends Senior Living Community last Thursday, which resulted in injuring over two dozen people and displacing 133 residents. Officials say that the remains were found on Tuesday and were transported from the scene by the Chester County Coroner. Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan announced on Monday that four residents were missing. Now with the two found, officials are going to continue searching for the remaining two on Wednesday morning.

The Christmas Village in LOVE Park is now set to be opened starting at 9 a.m. this coming Thursday (Thanksgiving Day). It is the Christmas Village's 10th anniversary and nearly 100 vendors are getting ready to set up all of their gear. Many city residents have shown their concern and disapproval with the Village this year due to LOVE Park still being under construction. Mayor Jim Kenney stated "We expect it to be open by Thursday. There will probably be some remnants of construction or construction cleanup there, but it will be safe and accessible by Thursday and through the holiday." The scheduled preview weekend was cancelled last weekend due to the construction. The Christmas Village will be open until Christmas Eve.

Uber stated on Tuesday that the company was victim to a data breach and hackers were able to download the personal information of nearly 57 million customers world wide. Officials at Uber say that the information stolen included user's names, e-mail addresses, and cell phone numbers. The information did not include: trip history, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, social security numbers or date of birth. Uber also stated that they had known about the hack for nearly a year without notifying customers or drivers. Uber paid the hackers $100,000 to delete the information stolen and to keep the breach quiet. Uber fired chief security officer Joe Sullivan and one of his deputies as a result of the data breach.
