Harrisburg Republicans are trying to oust Philadelphia’s progressive district attorney, and observers say the effort is likely to intensify this summer.

With the news that Melrose Diner may be next, where can you find that all-night hum? Bibiana Correa rounds up half a dozen 24-hour diners around Philly.
