Endless lines at Philadelphia International Airport security checkpoints due to the Homeland Security shutdown, downed wires and trees throughout the area left in the aftermath of Monday’s storm, and unpredictable delays on SEPTA’s Regional Rail lines all made for a chaotic week in Philadelphia. But, on the bright side, there were two major concert announcements for the months ahead, a local college hoops team made a spirited run to the NCAA Tournament, and a cutting-edge medical company planted its flag in South Philly.
