Philadelphia’s downtown area is getting a generous slathering of lube in anticipation of some extra rough partying tonight. Hoping to avoid the damage that came after the Phillies’ World Series victory last year, city workers have been greasing South Broad St. in case of a NLC win against the Dogders. Street lights, phone booths, bus shelters and trees have been covered in a “yellowish goo that bears a resemblance to petroleum jelly” to ward off celebratory climbers. |PhiladelphiaInquirer|
