Stompin' Grounds

So I'm back in my old stompin' grounds - the late great city of Philadelphia. Well, its still a great city.

To be fair, I haven't been back at teh REAL stomping grounds. Yet. Tomorrow I will be moving out and about around the city, and I'll have a chance to take the 13 trolly down woodland ave to my old street of Rheinhard. My old roommate still lives on the street, and supposedly in the same house. I tried to get ahold of him, but it seems that he is as hard to get ahold of as every one has said.

So I'm just going to show up at his house. If he still does live there. Otherwise, someone else is going to get a surprise visitor.

I also realized how much I like the city of Philadelphia. Now, if I'm giong to be honest (and I am going to be), I will need to tell you that I'm not really in Philadelphia. I'm actually in the suburbs. And some very nice suburbs at that. So I guess I really like the suburbs of Philly. I'll let you know if the city itself is as great as I remember it being.

And it probably will be. The dirty streets of downtown, the hustle and bustle to get onto the trolly's and subways. The dunkin' doughnut on every friggin' corner of downtown. Yeah... those were the days... though it remains to be seen if my memories truly capture the moment - or if my brain has photoshoped the memories and dressed them up a bit.
