The LOVE statue will return to LOVE Park/JFK Plaza in Center City Philadelphia tomorrow, Tuesday February 13th, just in time for Valentine's Day. It was removed a year ago as the park underwent renovations. The LOVE sculpture itself was also restored and repainted with it's original colors (red, green, and purple). Before it is installed, the statue will have a mini-parade on Tuesday morning stopping at various points along the Benjamin Franling Parkway. The city is calling it "LOVE on the Move." The parade will start at 10 a.m. at 25th and Pennsylvania Ave. at the Joan of Arc statue and end at JFK Plaza at 11:15 a.m. For more information about the parade and all the stops visit: http://creativephl.org/loveonthemove/

Donald Trump Jr. wife was taken to the hospital in New York City on Monday morning after she opened an envelope containing an unknown white powder. It happened just after 10 a.m. in their apartment on East 54th Street east of First Avenue in the Sutton Place neighborhood of Manhattan. Vanessa Trump opened the letter addressed to Donald Trump Jr. and discovered the powder. The president's daughter-in-law and two others present were decontaminated by firefighters at the scene and taken to the hospital for evaluation. NYPD spokesman Peter Donald said, "The substance was deemed to be non-hazardous and is being transported to a lab in New York City for further analysis." NYPD and Secret Service are investigating.

Philadelphia police say that a man is in critical condition after being abducted at gun point and then set on fire early Monday morning. It started around 5:40 a.m. Monday at Benner Street and Harbison Avenue in Wissinoming. The 33-year-old victim was abducted by three men in a 2006 Grand Prix Pontiac. They drove to the 5400 block of Westford Road in Olney. The victim was bound, doused with gasoline, and placed back into the car. The men then set the car on fire. Neighbors called 911 and emergency crews were able to rescue the man from the car. He suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns on half his body. He remains in critical condition at Temple University Hospital.
