It’s our weekly politics episode. Did you know your car can be towed in Philly, even if it’s parked legally? “Courtesy towing” is a longtime – and uniquely Philly – practice where a car is moved without notice to an unknown location in order to accommodate construction or events. And it has left some Philadelphians wondering where the heck their car went. Host Trenae Nuri sits down with Bill Bender, investigative reporter for The Inquirer, to talk courtesy towing, which he’s been digging into for years.
