City Paper's weekly gauge of Philly's Quality of Life

Fights and some property damage result from Axl Roses failing to show up for Guns N Roses concert at FU Center. Guess hes still trying to catch his breath after hauling his fat ass around the stage for the MTV Music Awards. Minus 1

City hit with seven inches of snow, almost double the total from last winter. If you listened carefully, you could hear recently departed John Bolaris weeping. Plus 1

In private meeting, Democratic party boss Bob Brady warns pols if they don't stop fighting each other, they could lose their jobs. Council members vow to unite -- against Mayor Street. Plus 1

2000 Census missed 12,000 Philadelphians, nearly all minorities, according to new figures. Daily News launches new "fugitives" investigation. Minus 4

Philly is sixth most dangerous big city, according to new report. Well, what did you expect after that pathetically tame display when Axl dissed us? Plus 1

Carpenter recently involved in fight with union boss at Convention Center exhibits his paintings. Highlights include Hammer(buriedin)head No. 4 and I'm a Nailgun Owner and I Vote. Plus 1

Six people shot and one stabbed in six-hour period. Nothing like a low ranking on a violence report to rally the people to action. Minus 3

Popular West Mt. Airy food co-op Weavers Way in financial trouble after losing $108,000. That could buy dozens of organically grown tomatoes. Minus 3

Police Department begins switching to digital radios. System already jammed by cops downloading mp3s. Plus 1

Total pluses: 5

Total minuses: 11

Score for the week: -6

Last week’s score: 11
