New 76ers arena is a go, Christmas gifts for kids (both human and goat), and trouble for a Chinatown treasure

The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio

Protesters tried their best to stop a City Council vote on the 76ers arena proposal, but despite the disruption, all the measures needed to move the project forward passed. Meanwhile, Sang Kee Peking Duck House in Chinatown shut down indefinitely because of a dangerous, damaged steam pipe. The 76ers just can’t catch a break this season. And how to recycle your Christmas tree…by feeding it to goats. Matt Leon and KYW Newradio’s reporters share some holiday spirit along with the biggest news in the Philadelphia region this week.
