"It was 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning when the beating occurred on the steps of the historic Second Bank of the United States near 4th and Chestnut Streets. Kless, his girlfriend and another woman left Lucy’s bar on Market Street and headed to Chestnut Street to hail a cab. "

Holy crap... I've been jogging right across the steps of 2nd bank and all through that park in front and that area, couple times a month. And walking to/from bars on Chestnut and 2nd, via 4th st, several times in the last few months, after dark. The place looks completely safe, I would never suspect something like this there if I hadn't read it. This is pretty depressing, PHL was one of my favorite layovers due to that exact area's niceness and some great bars there...
