Ben Franklin Parkway, Kelly Drive and Martin Luther King Drive Closures 2013

I couldn’t find this online anywhere, but my neighbor is on the Parkway Council Board and sent it to me. We live on the Parkway and every weekend wake up to someone blaring music and yelling thru a megaphone. Then we think What’s On The Parkway? Sorry they’re not pretty they came on excel spreadsheets and I couldn’t format them correctly. I think an intern that can do that. Feel free to copy and distribute so others can be informed. Thanks HughE
