Fumo Returns To Public Life With Funny Hat

Yesterday, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway celebrated its 100th anniversary of breaking ground. And who was there but indicted State Sen. Vince Fumo and Benjamin Franklin himself! (The fact that a road gets a 100th birthday is a bit disturbing to me, but whatevs.)

Apparently, back 100 years ago everyone who broke ground wore bowlers. Fumo celebrated the event by wearing a bowler himself. Oddly enough, though, his bowler was made with the skin of an alpaca.
