Welcome back to the Friday News Roundup. We discuss the four recent shootings on or near SEPTA property, including one on Wednesday where eight teens were struck; an unexpected shakeup on Philly’s Board of Education; and which restaurants in the city are keeping the $1 hot dog tradition alive after the Phillies ended their “Dollar Dog Nights.” Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Tom Fitzgerald, transportation reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Dale Mezzacappa, senior reporter at Chalkbeat Philadelphia.
