PGW workers found 50 marijuana plants inside a Southwest Philadelphia home yesterday, along with specialized lighting, a generator and a filtration system. If you didn’t know, it’s illegal to grow, smoke, carry, sell or otherwise think about marijuana in Pennsylvania. [Philly.com]

Good news for those headed down the shore on Jersey roads, bad news for those who enjoy privacy: A unanimous decision by the state Supreme Court is upholding Kyleigh’s Law, which requires young N.J. drivers to display a red decal on their license plates. There is a $100 fine for failure to display the Velcro decal, and 4,657 decal tickets were issued from April 2010 through June. While it may keep the roads safer, some wonder if it could lead to young drivers being targeted, by either cops or creeps. [Philly.com]

Barbra Streisand, the 70-year-old winner of two Oscars, 10 Grammys, a Tony and a dozen Golden Globes, is opening her new, and possibly her last, tour in Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Center in October. [Philly.com]

A string of losses can do this: Last night’s attendance of 41,665 at the Phillies game against the Braves ended the club’s 257 consecutive game sellout streak. It was the second longest active streak in the Majors and the third longest overall, trailing only the Boston Red Sox.  [NBC10]

If you think your neighbor’s yappy dog is bad, think again: A Delaware couple was arrested for child endangerment after New Castle County police discovered a 12-year-old living amongst dogs, cats, ducks, rabbits and flies, all of which had been urinating and defecating throughout the house. The boy was taken to the hospital and then temporarily placed with relatives, the parents were both charged with endangering the welfare of a child and later released on bail. [NBC10]

It’s still unclear whether New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will run as Romney’s VP pick or settle for a speaking role at the Republican National Convention at the end of the month. [Fox29]

Several Penn State trustees, led by Ryan McCombie, wrote the NCAA a letter saying that they are committed to preventing more child-abuse episodes but still don’t like the NCAA rulings, which include a four-bowl ban, scholarship cuts and the landmark decision to vacate 111 of the university’s football wins from 1998 to 2011. The appeal is based on the idea that the Freeh report did not equate to legal hearing or review. The NCAA has already said that the penalties were not subject to appeal. [Sports Illustrated]
