Philly City Council to consider regulating car ‘barnacles’

The KYW Newsradio All Local on Friday, March 6, 2026 (morning edition): Private parking lot owners are increasingly employing a new tool to collect fees from drivers: bright yellow boxes called “barnacles” that adhere to windshields, making vehicles impossible to drive. A Philadelphia City Council member has introduced a bill to crack down on them. ... A 20-year-old wanted on first-degree murder charges since November has been arrested. He's also accused in a January shooting at a Norristown gas station that left a woman paralyzed. ... It's often difficult for people to get their lives back on track after serving time in jail. On Thursday, officials in Camden County opened the doors of a new reentry center to help ease that transition.
