Clown crawl spreads into a sprawl at local park

With bars in Philadelphia closed amid the coronavirus pandemic, Pat Kelly's annual "clown crawl," a bar crawl through Fishtown where attendees dress as clowns, was instead reduced to a trip to Penn Treaty Park. A handful of people drank beers. "Clown sprawl," Kelly called it, as the group tried to observe social distancing requirements.
