Some of the teens later randomly attacked pedestrians on nearby Center City streets

“A 54-year-old man riding his bicycle home from work was critically injured when he beaten by a group of young men.” Just think. This could have made the national news if the victim had been Amish instead of the perpetrators. Also doesn’t this “newspaper” have an editor? Or maybe he be on vacation.

Having grown up around Philly in those days (1963 or so) I always thought the line was "the hippest street in town".
But the official (record company) rendering of the first line is "hippies", meaning "those who are 'hip'" in the jazz lexicon. The song came out years before San Francisco-style hippies were known to the East Coast. The song refers to "hipsters", that is, cool R&B/soul/jazz-oriented folks.

Back in the day when (most) R&R was positive, fun, and great new dances popped up all the time.
