so I decided to drive down to Philadelphia
later that week and parked here
by the prison
as I observed the flag
on the front of the house opposite Dr Len's
house. I stopped there and we headed off to do errands of various types.
First we went to the post office at this entrance
but since Dr Len doesn't work there
we had to go in the main door and DrLen did his business at this window
while I took the obligatory stamp machine photo
and then recorded the signage
until DrLen had his package
and so we were ready to leave. Across from the post office was this interesting sculpture
and this triangular house
and, of course, I took the obligatory phone booth picture
as we drove towards South Philly passing the jazz club
the pizza parlor
the mural
and the For Lease sign
on our way to the Morning Glory
where Len led the way in
The menu looked good
and especially the specials
DrLen has the Grilled chicken pasta salad
and I had the papaya pancakes.
Afterwards, I recorded all of the honors the restaurant has won
to the delight of the waitress.
We paid the check
and I took the obligatory rest room photos for my collection
before we headed off to Frank's garage where they had reserved a space
for us.
In Frank's garage, Lenny has lots of signs some of which I captured here like these pictures of the saw from Nagelberg's Supply

and part of the pie man sign.
I did some experiments with the GE sign
and then caught more the ice cream sign
before turning to the SunRay sign -- the mortar and pestle.
and the Arthur's Fuel bus.
Frank's place is great with the cord tangled
a collection of fire extinguishers
another of cones
shopping carts of tools
an elegant waste basket
and this bucket of heavy chain.
Upstairs, there is this thermometer
that shows it was a warm day and this signage
intermingled with a chest of sorting drawers
a broken clock
an old calendar
and Nick's pictures
Afterwards, we were on to Termini bakery
where the windows were nicely decorated
and the door
was the real McCoy.
Once inside, we were in a food photographers delight. Donuts and sticky buns
next to cakes
and ginger bread men
and pastries fruity
chocolate
and cannoli
The wall was covered with plaques of appreciation
and a diploma from the CIA
but even here the rules of commerce are harsh.
After one more look at the racks
we bought this
which she
kindly wrapped for us. We obeyed the signs
but did try the samples.
On the way out, I got pictures of the wedding ornaments
Once back in the car, I opened my cannoli
and ate it as we drove by some murals by Isaiah Zagar
and this wall of blurry words.
past the Circle K
until we got to the building that Charlie is
renovating.
Work was going in all directions
and across the street was the building that was just sold
and the building that helped start the anchoring of the neighborhood.
After a round of graffiti posters
it was time to head home.
