News from a few days ago, but thought I'd share here in case you lot missed it.

Philadelphia’s portal, located in the city’s Love Park, opened Tuesday and rotates between livestreams in Dublin, Vilnius, Lithuania, and Lublin, Poland, with another planned to launch in Piaui, Brazil.
The project's designer called it a “bridge that unifies and an invitation to rise above prejudices and disagreements that belong to the past.”
It's not been without its issues:
And there's been experiences of “inappropriate behavior” from “a very small minority of people” (drug use, provocative dancing, flashing etc...)
(had to see this coming, right?) (stay classy, Philly
)
The portal in Philadelphia is already cracked, but it wasn’t because of rambunctious onlookers, city officials told CBS News Philadelphia. The portal, a nearly 12-foot-tall structure with an 8-foot-tall screen, cracked during installation this week because some screws were fastened too tightly, putting pressure on the screen and causing it to break.
The New York-Dublin Portal—Which Had Closed For ‘Inappropriate Behavior’—Relocates To Philadelphia
The New York-Dublin portal went viral this summer after multiple people flashed the camera and others held up inappropriate photos, causing it to temporarily shut down.
