On Thursday, the Philadelphia Phillies and Philadelphia Eagles announced that fans will be required to wear masks while in indoor areas of the stadiums and both teams strongly encourage unvaccinated fans to wear masks at all times anywhere at the park. These decisions come after Philadelphia officials announced masks are required in any business or institution that does not ask for proof of vaccination on entry. Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole said the city mandate "means everyone in Philadelphia must wear a mask when going into any business or institution, with an exception for those that require vaccinations," Bettigole said. "Restaurants will need to require masks for customers and staff, except when people are seated and actively eating and drinking. If a business or institution is requiring that everyone, including staff, be fully vaccinated before entering, then no one in that place needs to wear a mask."

The small, suburban Camden County borough of Collingswood, that once produced a Republican governor, is now a bright blue municipality and has changed over the last decade, resembling a town more akin to Montclair or Lambertville than to other Camden County suburbs. One certainty is that it’s a Democratic stronghold that no longer resembles the small town that launched William T. Cahill’s political career 60 years ago. The Philadelphia-born son of Irish immigrants, Cahill moved to Collingswood around 1939, won a State Assembly seat in 1951 and in 1958, when 78-year-old Rep. Charles Wolverton (R-Merchantville) retired after 31 years in Congress, ran for the Camden-Gloucester-Salem seat and won by 1,859 votes. He was re-elected in 1968 with 66% of the vote  then, decided to run for governor in 1969. Collingswood gave favorite-son Cahill a massive 79% of the vote in his successful election as 38th governor of NJ.

Philly Voice recently featured a piece on new resident Andrew Tyler Mascieri.

Mascieri’s passion for architecture led him to purchase his very own fixer-upper in Merchantville in 2020 and since then, he's been renovating the 152-year-old Victorian home and documenting the process for his 15,000 followers on Instagram.
