This week we celebrated the life and legacy of the late Dikembe Mutombo. ???? His family was in attendance at the game vs. the Boston Celtics and rang the bell as we highlighted his time as a 76er and celebrated his impact off the court as a humanitarian and global ambassador. Today, the Mutombo family stopped by practice for a visit with the 76ers. The 76ers gifted the Mutombo family with a custom painting of Dikembe Mutombo from artist Tiff Urquhart. Fans can donate to the Dikembe Mutombo Memorial Fund here: https://lnkd.in/eatcmZFW

You can’t miss the new skyline of Journal Square in Jersey City. The nearly completed One Journal Square project by Kushner Companies, two 52-story towers going up next to the PATH station, already rise far above any other building. Or, at least, they will until the more than half-dozen projects of similar height in the pipeline sprout up in the next 2-3 years – bringing nearly 10,000 housing units to the area. But if you want to see the heart of Journal Square, if you want to see the majestic venue that will serve as a centerpiece for an arts and entertainment district that many feel will rival any in the state, you have to go across the street and behind the fencing that currently encircles the historic Loew’s Jersey Theatre.
