PHILADELPHIA - Uncle Bobbie's Coffee and Books was set to open for the first time after being closed since the pandemic when the unthinkable happened.Owner Marc Lamont Hill says Saturday night someone senselessly smashed a window and climbed inside to steal cash and an iPad.
On Wednesday night — right next to the boarded up hole — Hill says an hour after he left the shop at 10:30 p.m. someone smashed in another window but did not get inside.“I didn't think I was being targeted the first night but two times in three days, four days, you have to start asking different questions,” Hill told FOX 29.Hill says they fundraised so they could keep paying employees through the closure.
