Naked City

Running Numbers

15 Number of Craigslist posters looking for tickets to the sold-out Aug. 17 Roots show at the Electric Factory. Proposed compensation ranges from "$99999" to "Will pay whatever."

18 Minimum age requirement for membership in the Callowhill Neighborhood Association, which will hold its next general meeting Aug. 17 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at 429 N. 13th St., Apt.1A. Center City's civic-minded minors not welcome!

50 Maximum number of full-time employees that a Philadelphia-area small business can have in order to be eligible for the Center City Proprietors Association's awards, to be presented at a Kimmel Center ceremony Oct. 19 at 6 p.m. Nomination entry forms are due Aug. 15. Not eligible? Start trimming those staffs!

95 Desired percentage of annual survey respondents who "will indicate they feel safe at school," by 2008, according to goals set forth by the Philadelphia School District's Declaration of Education. Way to hide behind the margin of error, Vallas.

3,137 ,674 Number of fans who saw the Phillies at the Vet in 1993, setting the season attendance record. At the Aug. 13 game against the Mets, I witnessed Kim Batiste's two-outs-in-the-bottom-of-the-ninth-game-winning grand slam, and for that brief moment, baseball was tolerable.
