Cat Found Duct Taped

The Pennsylvania SPCA is on the hunt to find whoever wrapped a cat in duct tape and dumped the feline in a yard in North Philadelphia.
A woman found the cat on the 2200 block of Edgley Street in the city's Rhawnhurst section Tuesday afternoon.
The tape was wrapped around the cat from her tail to her neck. The SPCA says the cat, who is about a year or two old, is doing well now that the tape has been removed.
The SPCA is offering a $1000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the case.
If you know anything, you're asked to call the SPCA’s Cruelty Hotline at 1-866-601-7722.

Party With Perrier

All of the chairs and tables were removed from Georges Perrier's legendary jewel box last night as Le Bec Fin opened its doors to a reception hosted by the renowned chef himself.

Philadelphia's most revered restaurateur mingled with guests amicably and invited all to enjoy menu samples from appetizers to desserts. Level 1 Vodka and fine wines were the lubricants of choice.

The Perrier empire (dubbed Signature Restaurants) will soon unveil its latest attraction at the dazzling new Comcast Center which will be the tallest building between New York and Chicago and one of the largest and most advanced "green" buildings in the world. Perrier also announced an update of the nearby Brasserie Perrier with more popularly priced menu items and he encouraged diners to stop by Le Bec Fin and its lower level Le Bar Lyonnaisse for new menu choices and more accessible offerings.

Kudos to the evening's architects: the extraordinary Nicole Cashman and her wonderful staff at Cashman and Associates. Nicole told us that she is now representing Philadelphia's Sofitel where big changes are on the horizon for the hotel's restaurant and lounge.

At the event we also chatted with CBS3 meteorologist Doug Kammerer and his lovely wife Holly and Fox29 weatherguy John Bolaris. Doug just moved from NBC10 to his new digs at the up-to-the-minute CBS3 broadcast center. Bolaris has returned to town from New York.
