Btw, these steps are great to ride a bike down. :sneaky:

And if you happened to look off to the right (not visible in this pic), you'll spot some nice rock-wall drops... :devil:

With all of this great architecture, how can Philly be the most depressed city in the US? :mad: :nuts:

I like the fact that it's somewhat depressed. I like the fact that it's not fast paced like NYC. It has great culture left and a small town feeling. They are doing things to try and change it but it's a slow process.

The last time I was in Philly, I was in college and playing in a band. We played a music festival in the Catskills called "Boot Camp" ---> the band sponsoring the fest was called "Moon Boot Lover" Anyways, after the festival, we stopped by Philly on the way back to NC and hung out for a few days. It was awesome---so much history, culture, and energetic vibe. We had a blast. I'm a big history/architecture buff, so I split off from everyone and went to check out "Penny Benny", the Liberty Bell and all the legislative buildings and such. Ran up the museum steps and did my Rocky imitation---like THAT hasn't been done a million-plus times.

Anyways.....Philly is all good. I'd hit it. :)

Dude.......if you gave me a million dollars, I couldn't point it out. Some big-assed field about an hour west of Jersey if I remember right. Don't remember much about the weekend. Spent most of it eating some kind of hash brownies. Younger, wilder days. :cool:


I'll see if I can dig through some old flyers n stuff and find out where it was. You got me curious now.

Morning :monkey: s. Dinner with the family tonight to celebrate my brother's 25th birthday! He's a medical miracle so we take them all very seriously :D Hopefully I can get a quick sprint in before we have to leave, but I am not counting on it. Rode the trainer for 45 minutes last night because it was raining. Other than that, I am on the search for my SS frame so Sq-Earl and I can do our builds together :devil:

I know your pain. I am hoping the worst of mine are over because I am actually feeling better today :think:
Its bad because I had to mow the lawn last evening. I think I may pay one of the neighborhood kids to do it the rest of the summer.

My thoughts EXACTLY. It's a big city with everything to do that you can imagine, but with a small-town feel. The more cities I visit around the country, the more I like Philadelphia...

To me, Philly is also an underestimated cycling town. It's not far from some great DH riding (Plattekill & Mtn Creek are easy w/e trips), great XC riding with riding distance (Wissahickon) if you live in the city, and good road riding to the west. Not a bad bike-path system either.

I think Philly is depressed because of the hockey strike... big Flyer's town... The Eagles choking and the generally smelly Phillies & 76'ers just add to the foul mood... :blah:

Not a bad idea. I had to do yard work (cleaning leaves and raking out the flower beds) last week and the dust & mold/mildew killed me. I knew I should have been wearing a mask.
