As we begin 2013 in earnest, NEast Philly’s goal is to continue to strive to give readers the news they want most in a timely manner and in the most accurate, detailed way possible.

There were many popular stories in 2012, but the most-viewed stories on our site last year had a few things in common: they were concise, informative and NEast Philly was among the first to cover them.

Excel Academy offers students in the Northeast a second chance – March 3, 2010
Red-light cameras installed in 3 more Northeast intersections – July 26, 2012
Police arrest suspect in Mayfair knifepoint robbery – June 11, 2012
Positive drug test in crash that killed 2 on Bustleton Avenue – Nov. 28, 2012
Pennypack man arrested for 7-Eleven robbery – Nov. 28, 2012

The busiest day of the year was Jan. 6, the day the Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced wide-spread closures and consolidations of Catholic schools across the city.

With almost 550 new stories in 2012, NEast Philly’s grand total is now more than 2,600.
