TODAY'S TOP STORY

Roads Reopen After Pope Francis Visit: Pope Francis’ whirlwind Philadelphia tour has come to an end and everyday commuter life is slowly getting back to normal. The Ben Franklin Bridge, which wasn’t scheduled to reopen until 4 a.m. Monday, actually reopened earlier at about 3:00 a.m. I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) westbound reopened around 8 p.m. Sunday between I-95 and US 1-North. I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) eastbound reopened at 11:05 p.m. between I-476 in Montgomery County and I-95 in Philadelphia. Entrance ramps from I-476, Route 23 and Gladwyne reopened as well. I-676 (Vine Street Expressway) westbound between I-76 and I-95 in Philadelphia reopened at 1:30 a.m. Monday. And expect closures around the Ben Franklin Parkway to remain in effect as crews cleanup security checkpoints, barricades, trash and the papal stage. No word yet when everything will be cleaned up.

WHAT YOU MISSED YESTERDAY

Businesses Struggle Through Pope Visit: With as many as 1.5 million people estimated to have passed through Philadelphia during this week's World Meeting of Families conference and papal visit, one would expect for business to be booming. But all types of businesses, from restaurants and bars to clothing shops and even dollar stores in the city say they found it hard to make a buck during the Pope's visit. "We have been suffering big time," Dollar-o-Mart Plus Dollar Store owner Asghar Ansari said. "We stocked an additional $4,000 to $5,000 in product, like chargers, batteries and food items; things we thought people would need. But the only thing selling is the Pope stuff." Several other business owners along Chestnut, Walnut and Samson Streets say they also stocked additional product in anticipation of large crowds of customers only to see it go to waste.

AROUND THE WORLD

Pope Francis Departs U.S. With Message About Family: Francis, the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church, left the United States with a parting message in the same spirit of acceptance that the country showed him. The church appreciates anyone trying to raise a good family, "whatever the family, people, region, or religion to which they belong," Francis told a massive audience in Philadelphia after a trip full of adoring crowds and official ceremonies. It capped a week where Francis called for nations to embrace immigrants, declared that man has no right to abuse the environment and sought the abolition of the death penalty.
