The mayor of Philadelphia is taking issue with a new rule banning people from sitting on walls in a park in a posh section of the city, saying his attitude is: "Sit where you want." The group that manages the Rittenhouse Square park said the ban on sitting on walls near a fountain was imposed Thursday after neighbors complained that the practice led to pot smoking. The walls are popular places to sit at lunchtime, especially in warmer months as benches fill with office workers and area residents. A Facebook group had organized a "Sittenhouse Lunch Time Sit-On" to perch on walls in protest of the ban. The group noted that following Mayor Jim Kenney's post on Twitter, they will celebrate their success by sitting on the wall during lunch Tuesday.
