Share a story:
If you would like to tell us about your neighborhood and your involvement in the casino struggle, please email stories@phillycasinovoices.org - we'll do our best to come out and photograph you and record your story. If you know interested residents that don't use email, drop as a line and we'll give you a phone number to give them.
Non english stories:
If you know residents who would like to share their stories but for whom english is not a comfortable language, please put us in touch with them, and with anyone that might be able to help translate.
