The Commodore Barry Irish Center was established as a gathering place for Irish immigrants in 1958 - but by 2014, the center was both literally and figuratively starting to crumble. The waves of Irish immigration had slowed to a trickle…so why was it so important to some people to save the center? KYW Newsradio's City Hall Bureau Chief, Pat Loeb, guest hosts this week to share the story of how a few passionate Irish descendants started a movement to bring the Irish Center back from the brink of eviction and turned it into a place where you can experience the many cultures of Philadelphia today. Check out pictures of the Irish Center here. Follow us on Twitter @TheJawncast.

Go to pretty much any big city in America and you'll see people zooming around on electric scooters. But not in Philly. Or Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, or Allentown for that matter. Not legally, at least. This week on the podcast, KYW Newsradio City Hall bureau chief Pat Loeb breaks down how a Senator from central PA and a Segway lobbyist have kept Pennsylvania (mostly) scooter free for more than a decade, and Matt Nichol from Philly E-Riders pitches a high tech, green version of the future of urban transportation.

Earlier this year, we put out an episode about homeless encampments, occupied by drug users, that were springing up under railroad tracks in Philly. We called it "The People in the Tunnels." Part two came out a couple months later, about a pilot program the city developed in two of the tunnels. Basically, anyone living there could get a bed and treatment to get sober, if they wanted it, before the encampments were shut down. Today on the podcast: part three of our series on the people in the tunnels. What does life look like now, for someone who decided to say yes and get clean? And is there really such a thing as a fresh start? Thanks to KYW Newsradio city hall bureau chief Pat Loeb for coming back on the podcast, you can follow what she's covering on Twitter at @patloeb.  Scroll Down is hosted and produced by Tom Rickert in the KYW Newsradio studios in Philadelphia.

Back in April we reported on homeless encampments popping up under four railroad tunnels in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood. The city set up a pilot program in two of the tunnels, offering treatment and beds to anyone who wanted them. And at the end of May, it was time to shut down what was left. Today on the podcast -- what a tunnel eviction looks like. Pat Loeb (@PatLoeb) covers homelessness and the opioid epidemic for KYW Newsradio. She's also the station's City Hall bureau chief.

People have started living in four tunnels under the railroad tracks in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood. City officials say most of them are drug users who've been unwilling to go into treatment, and prefer life under the tracks to a shelter. The city wants them gone, so Pat Loeb (https://twitter.com/PatLoeb) went to ask the people living there why they're staying.
