Police say they will increase patrols in areas where people normally gather, along with places that had issues in the past. Business owners CBS3 spoke with say they are grateful for the extra security — from South Street to Old City.Philadelphia is the birthplace of American Independence. It is expected to be a busy Fourth of July holiday weekend.
“I think that’s what we need, is we need police, more police on the street,” Michelle Zimmerman, co-owner of Las Bugambilias, said. “And you would think that this area should be safe because we are not far from Independence Hall, we’re only a couple blocks away from our national treasures,” Zimmerman said. “So we think that we should be protected in this neighborhood.”A little over a year ago, the restaurant moved from South Street to South 3rd Street in Old City. Zimmerman says it hasn’t been an easy transition.
CBS3 also stopped by South Street, not far from where the mass shooting unfolded back on June 4, killing three and injuring 12.
