It was the gap after grading the exams and before giving the grades, so
I decided that it was time to spend a day in Philadelphia with DrLen.
whose neighbor had a good bumper sticker and license plate
as DrLen got in his car
and we drove to South Philadelphia where we parked
in front of the cigar store that had this Indian (whoops!! Native American)
in front of it so that we could eat at Marra's.
where they had good pizzas
on their menu
It was even better when it came
Afterwards, we stopped in the facilities
to work off the diet cokes we'd had
in preparation for our trip to Italiano's
where they serve water ice and invented the gelati
I had the out of towners version
while DrLen's was more traditional
Next we went to visit Joel
and Diane
who took these pictures of her garden
and we headed off to South Philly where they put
McDonald's
in front of painted murals on walls. We stopped at this park
because it was opposite the original Levis building
while this gentleman obliged for the obligatory phone booth picture
at the plaque
for W. E. B. DuBois. He kept talking
even as I took the piercing pictures
and pondered getting one as DrLen met his former helper
whose name I forgot.
On we went towards the tattoo parlor
and met the chef people.
and then the police
who didn't seem to mind me taking their picture
but DrLen ducked in here
Gentle viewer, perhaps you remember why I took this picture...
as we headed to Rodeo Kidz
by the stop sign
while DrLen checked out the windows
and I shot a picture of another mural
by Adler's Fabrics
and the whole street scene
at the corner with the nicely painted facade
looking out at the Stop Sign
not to mention the beautiful pottery
Then we met an old friend
Again the street scene was very colorful
as Larry
watched over the next corner
with the Haagen Dazs emblem
hanging down as we saw another pioneer
food establishment and a great cigar sign
with boxes
and seltzer bottles
at gargoyles
The sparkplug
inspired DrLen
and the trucks
and this inspirational message
led us to Isaiah Zaigar's work
|
and we headed further down the street
past the narrow street
the directional sign
and the natives
to the car. On the way home, we saw this bus sign
that reminded us that Judy was working, Our very last stop was to
admire Wilt's mural
and take a picture of these guys
