'It’s just not safe': Roxborough food cart owner closes an hour early due to school dismissal concerns
PHILADELPHIA - Some business owners in Roxborough say they are being extra cautious these days—even closing up early—because they say kids from nearby Roxborough High School are causing all sorts of problems when classes end for the day."This is my livelihood, this is how my wife and I pay the bills," says Sean Doyle, the owner of Roxburgers.Despite that, Doyle says he is losing $50-$100 a day by choosing to close an hour early, around 2:00 p.m., to avoid Roxborough High School’s dismissal. He says there have been issues with students congregating in large numbers at the bus stop at Ridge Avenue and Walnut Lane as they wait to transfer to another bus.Recently, he says he witnessed two students badly beating up another student.
