"I'm going to be the one with my arms around his ankles as he is dragging me down the hall when he leaves," said Fitzgerald, an administrative assistant and 38-year department veteran. "He's beloved and widely respected. He was the best lieutenant I've ever had." Today is Pearce's last day on the job. His retirement begins on March 1, nearly 25 years after he joined the force.

Pegasus Tower Company has requested a postponement of the zoning hearing originally scheduled for March 1st in Cherry Hill. The meeting is now scheduled for Thursday, April 19th. More information and an online petition is available at the website.

Neighbors of a proposed mega-Wawa in Cherry Hill say the store will be far from super - and far too close to their homes. A public hearing on the final plan is set to continue before the township Planning Board on March 5. The project does not require a zoning variance.

A wealthy real estate developer said Tuesday he and four partners plan to make an offer to buy the city’s two largest newspapers, whose downtown offices he already owns. The partnership, calling itself Philly Hometown Media LLC, plans to make a cash offer for the newspapers, Blatstein said. Last week, news reports surfaced that two hedge funds with major stakes in the company want to sell. The firms had led the creditors’ $139 million takeover of the company at a September 2010 bankruptcy auction. Former Gov. Ed Rendell also said last week that he, Philadelphia Flyers owner Ed Snider, Cooper University Hospital Chairman George Norcross and others were leading a separate effort to buy the newspapers. http://on.cpsj.com/wF2Ncu

During the last four weeks, Big Brother in Camden has taken note of 624 vehicles whose occupants did something suspicious near one of the city's busiest open-air drug markets, Sixth and York Streets. The owners of these vehicles will receive letters next week warning them that their vehicles were seen by the city's Eye in the Sky surveillance network in the high-crime and drug-trafficking area. The project has confirmed what city officials have been hearing from residents for a long time: Camden's drug and crime issues are not insulated city problems. Out of the 624 letters going out (205 are repeat offenders), 90 percent are going to residents of suburban communities, Cherry Hill and Sewell being the most common destinations. http://bit.ly/zfCOU4
