Your Wissahickon walk just got a lot more wild

Yo, listen. I'm not even gonna hold you, I saw this jawn and had to tell y'all because it's wild, or nah? Police found human skeletal remains in the woods near Wissahickon Creek and Germantown Avenue. Like, not just a little somethin', but straight-up skeletal remains. They're still tryin' to figure out who this person is, but the thought of somebody's bones just chillin' out there where people walk their dogs, ride their bikes, and get a little peace from the city? That's messed up.

### What This Means for Philadelphia

The Wissahickon Trail is one of those places us Philadelphians hold onto tight. It's our secret, our escape. You go there to clear your head, to pretend you're not in the middle of a concrete jungle for a minute. You see folks from every part of the city – people from Germantown, East Falls, Roxborough, even West Philly people like me when we need some nature.

* This ain't just some random woods; it's a beloved city park.

* It's a reminder that even in our green spaces, things can get real, real quick.

* The police are workin' on identifying the person, so we'll see what comes out of this jawn.

It just makes you think twice about wanderin' off the main path, you know? Like, we love our city, but sometimes Philly throws a curveball that makes you clutch your pearls, or nah? This is one of them jawns. That's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here.

Kev and the crew are probably gonna be talkin' about this on the morning show — catch that live at mornings.live.
