I've got my friends in the world
I had my friends
When we were boys and girls
And the secrets came unfurled

She used to live alone in Philadelphia
She had to leave the state for a choice she made
She says she feels just like a hostage in her home
Hey hey hey hey Pennsylvania..... is wrong"

Spare Change Take me down to the city... wrap me warm in her streets... let's go to the library... let's go out to eat. Let's go to the park and walk by the river. I'll give you my coat when you start to shiver. Take the dark stairway up into the trees. We go to the places that nobody sees. Under that bridge and down to the pier, we'll walk past the lights, maybe go get a beer. Spin round the circle, ride out to Drexel. Take the city line ave and we'll get some tacos. By day or night, at sunset or first light... we'll take this city by storm. 040628

alive_now so close to here, it hurts not to be able to walk the streets when i'd like to. 040629

unhinged when you drive over that bridge into jersey that sure is a fucking site to see 050923

oldephebe it's OK

but it's as hard and cold and gray and mechanistic as any large eastern city.

........................................

oh and on the other hand please do NOT buy any soft pretzels from the street vendors 'cause you know...they're teeming with several genus of really pernicious pathogens.

some vendors don't wash after wetting the weasel.

and ah...GO eagl....

like i really care...

unhinged i like to be in places that feel old
the geology of pennsylvania
is about as old as it gets on
this continent
and there definitely are some amazing views
because of those tree-covered mountains
we don't have too much of that over here in ohio
it was pretty and new to me
and i was with great friends
one of which i thought i'd never be with again
so it added a touch of sentimentality
i've got a soft spot for philly
and the beer bottle we left behind

falling_alone you were here and no one saw me? 050924
...

unhinged i was literally just passing through on my way to new jersey from harrisburg 050924
...
oldephebe it have been neat for a few of us in PA and South Jersey to hook up for some serious s*** slinging and non-alcoholic beverages--well at least for me 'cause of the whole enforced teetotaling thing...it's either that or bagles and cream cheese on the water front or soemthing..or some live jazz at the newztand...or something
