Wilmington’s Homeless Problem Isn’t Philadelphia’s Fault

Wilmington’s Homeless Problem Isn’t Philadelphia’s Fault

Carney and Buccini falsely blaming Philadelphia for Wilmington's homeless issues rather than stepping up and taking responsibility.

If Wilmington put a fraction of the public funds it has given to Buccini/Pollin over the years towards more effective means of encouraging more affordable housing, it would go a long way to reducing homelessness in the city.

ShopRite LPGA

I see that the tournament has been rebranded this year as the ShopRite LPGA powered by Wakefern.

Is this part of some new corporate strategy to broaden awareness of Wakefern, which has typically been kept behind the scenes?

I’m trying to track down the baptism or birth record for my spouse’s great-grandmother, Elizabeth Hall, and would like any help I can get. The Provincial Archives of New Brunswick didn’t produce a hit.

The information we have found:

Name: Elizabeth Hall

Date of Birth: 25 December 1876

Place of Birth: Cambellton, Restigouche, New Brunswick, Canada

Father: Alexandre (aka Alexander) Hall (born 1827)

Mother: Mary Thompson (born 1833)

Religion: Church of England

Census: The 1881 Census shows the family living in Colbourne, Restigouche, NB but lists Elizabeth’s age as 10, which is inconsistent with her age given on other documents. The ages of some of her siblings also don’t match those found in baptism records from the Drouin Collection.

We would appreciate any guidance we can get to point us in the right direction.
