Downtown Has $1.3M To Give Away

Hey! So Philadelphia Weekly has a new blog just for the Pennsylvania primary. It’s written by Alli Katz (who you may remember from the Wawa vigil video) and is called Independence Brawl.

So, yeah, go read it, add it to your RSS reader, whatever. Recently, Alli went to check out the top zip code for donations to presidential candidates in Philadelphia and, surprise, it’s in Center City. The 19103 zip code stretches for some reason between Rittenhouse and Logan Circle, but doesn’t include the tall buildings on Market or Chestnut. (That would be 19102, I believe. 19104 is West Philly and 19107 is the Gayborhood. I think. Man, this is confusing!)

The 19103 zip code brought in $1.3 million of donations to political candidates this election season. If you’re wondering, these people have more of an influence on the election that you do with your vote. But they have to give all their money to politicians, and voting don’t cost a thing, so it sucks to be them.
