Good morning, Philadelphia.

Police Officer Andy Chan, critically injured in a 2019 motorcycle crash and cared for six years, was laid to rest Tuesday at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in a service attended by law enforcement officials from several states; he was posthumously honored with the PPD Medal of Excellence renamed in his memory.

Collectors paid $16.76 million for 232 coin sets that include the last pennies struck at the Philadelphia Mint.

The auction held last November at Stack’s Bowers Galleries saw one set fetch $800,000 (covering its three Lincoln coin dies).

For the second time this week, the School District cut the ribbon on a $90 million, three-story building for Holme Elementary (a rebuilt facility on the old school site in Northeast Philly).

The design features discovery commons and flexible classrooms, and the 800 students will move in after winter break.

Councilmember Rue Landau introduced a bill that automatically allows restaurants to set up sidewalk dining in West, Southwest, South Philly and lower Northeast—bypassing extra community reviews while still requiring permits.

The measure, pending Mayor Cherelle Parker’s signature, is expected to cut wait times and support a boost in tourism.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts wore a Yankees cap at Lincoln Financial Field before the game, sparking mixed reactions among fans and sparking debate on style — a reminder that sports icons also embrace fashion.

Philadelphia Phillies announced early Tuesday that they signed outfielder Adolis Garcia to a one-year, $10 million contract; the two-time All-Star will join the team to boost its postseason hopes in 2026.

Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse said guard Jared McCain, still recovering from injuries and wearing braces, is getting fewer minutes to favor a size advantage + a stronger defense.

McCain is gradually gaining comfort on the court as the team refines its rotation strategy.
