Local residents (photos 1 and 2) celebrated Sunday’s opening day of spring by visiting Rita’s Water Ice, Broad and Jackson streets, for a free cup. The Spectrum’s remains (photo 3) continued to be cleared Wednesday. A large cluster of individuals gathered (photo 4) at South Philadelphia High, 2101 S. Broad St., as part of  the sixth annual March for Meals campaign. Alice Freeman, left, (photo 5) of Eighth and Ritner streets, is the proud recipient of a meal personally delivered by Mayor Michael Nutter. The cast of Jerseylicious (photo 6) and members of the Philadelphia Soul were at Chickie’s and Pete’s, 1526 Packer Ave., in support of the Philadelphia Soul Moving Experience. SPR
