The city Googles

Mayor Michael A. Nutter announced the City of Philadelphia applied to become a Google Internet test site. Google will select one or more locations from across the country to be a test bed for developing a network that could provide Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than usual.

The City encourages anyone interested in supporting the “Google Fiber for Communities” project to visit www.gigabitphilly.com.


 

Local headliner

Tony Enos, of Third and Durfor streets, performs in his own backyard as a part of his 2010 national tour, “Did it Rite.” The opening night is 7 p.m. April 23 at the William Way Center, 1315 Spruce St.

Tickets cost $10 and may be purchased at Giovanni’s Room, 12th and Pine streets, or online at www.myspace.com/tonyenos. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Tony Enos Our Lady of Fatima & Our Lord Foundation for HIV and AIDS.


 

Sweeping impact

The city will hold its third annual Philly Spring Cleanup April 10 with the theme, “Keep the Sweep Up.” In its inaugural year, the event was recognized as the largest single day, citywide cleanup in the nation by Keep America Beautiful.

The cleaning effort aims to keep the momentum going by continually picking up litter and encouraging neighbors to be responsible for a cleaner city.

“It’s about our residents taking ownership of their neighborhoods and maintaining a beautifying environment not just for one day but every day of the year,” said Department of Streets Commissioner Clarena Tolson.
