Fun with caviar bumps, SEPTA’s big week, and a 76ers arena sticking point

Caviar bumps? Yep, Center City’s got a kiosk for that. Between avoiding a potentially crippling strike to getting a game-changing funding boost from Harrisburg, SEPTA had itself one major week. Before Leslie Richards, the transportation system’s general manager, steps down, she reflects on her tenure in an exclusive interview. Plus, more on how recent rain will impact the ripple effects of the region’s lengthy drought, and what you can do to help save local dogs at risk of being euthanized. Matt Leon and KYW’s reporters give us the rundown of the biggest news in the Philadelphia region this week.
