Festivals, Concerts Abound; Seaside Heights Pier Restoration; City Trolleys Back on Track

Festivals and concerts were plentiful this weekend. The Philadelphia Folk Festival held its 54th annual weekend of peace and music which was carried live on iRadioPhilly. At Citizen's Bank Park on Saturday Zac Brown Band added some Country sizzle to Philly. And on the beach in Atlantic City a concert by Maroon 5 attracted over 100,000 people to the Jersey shore show.

Approval was granted to rebuild the Casino Pier in Seaside Heights, which was severely damaged in Superstorm Sandy in 2012. The Jet Star roller coaster plunged into the Atlantic Ocean with the pier's collapse creating a lasting image of Sandy's wrath. The owners will rebuild and move the Sky Ride 160 feet to the north of its current location.

Trolleys are running again in the Center City tunnel, after a 16-day track work closure. The trolleys began operating as normal this morning. Since July 31st, the trolley tunnel between 13th and 40th streets had been closed so SEPTA could complete track, power and station improvements. The agency's annual "trolley tunnel blitz" shuts down the tunnel for a period of concentrated repair work in the summer

Philadelphia Weather
Another hot one today. Mostly sunny 94 in Center City.
