Road Closed For Toads
I'm not sure how I missed this gem last week but apparently I did.
About this time every year outside of Philadelphia, hundreds of toads migrate across a road to reach a pond. That road is pretty busy though, so a group of toad activists has worked with the city to get the road closed every day during times of "toadlet migration hours" which is apparently between 7-9 p.m. for some reason.
