Each weekday morning, host Trenae Nuri will chat with people all across Philly’s diverse neighborhoods about issues that matter to you. Whether that’s what do I even do on the weekends in this city with endless options, or how do I get the bus to actually stop, or how is this city going to keep our kids safe and educated? City Cast Philly is here for it all. It’s that energetic, informative conversation you might overhear at your neighborhood coffee shop. But with City Cast Philly, you’re always welcome to join in.

  • Why Is Philly Still Dirty?

    Why Is Philly Still Dirty?
    Nov 13 2024
    This summer the city embarked on an initiative to clean every block in every neighborhood. And last month the city announced results: Workers cleaned more than 18,000 blocks, cleared over 5,000 lots, towed about 2,000 vehicles, and removed 2,078 instances of graffiti. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Nic Esposito, director of policy and engagement at Circular Philadelphia, who says those numbers don’t tell the full story – because the citywide cleanup actually failed. Read Nic’s opinion article in Grid Magazine and check out Glitter, the street-cleaning service he mentioned. You can also read The Inquirer’s coverage of the issue. To find out where and when trash gets picked up by the city, go here and scroll to PickupPHL. And to find out when your block is due to get cleaned under the citywide cleaning program, go here.
