Car dealer Gary Barbera and state Rep. Jared Solomon on Sunday organized a pre-Super Bowl tailgate at Roosevelt Mall to bring the Northeast together in the aftermath of the deadly airplane crash on Cottman Avenue.

The event took place outside LA Fitness before the Eagles went on to crush the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, to win Super Bowl LIX.
