The Paoli Massacre on September 21, 1777, forced American congressmen to flee Philadelphia for safety in York, Pennsylvania. British General Grey surprised Gen. Mad Anthony Wayne's troops with a bayonet assault after ordering unloaded muskets to preserve the surprise. Reports of atrocities spread as Patriots fled the capital before Howe entered Philadelphia on September 26.

Downtowns Need Mass Transit
A three state Regional Plan Association report says downtowns with high job and service concentration drive transit success. Downtowns require mass transit to remain walkable, while mid-sized cities may rely on buses or streetcars. The study notes only a few centers need full rapid transit. others can use express buses or dial a bus options. A fatal domestic shooting in Pittsburgh ends the report.
