City of Brotherly Love tho.
Philly has always had bad neighborhoods and it's getting worse. But somehow, my old neighborhood has hung in there. One of the worst areas in the city, Kensington Ave is less than a mile from where I grew up but my Port Richmond people are still going strong. I'll try to dig up a YouTube to show you Kensington Ave life...
This is mild to what I saw recently. Kensington Ave was our shopping mecca back in the 70's. It's where I bought records, clothes, pizza, whatever. They had a store for everything. How did we get here?

More zombie video. Again, it was way worse the last time I drove by. I was also a mailman right there at one time. I was the mailman for Rocky's house in the original (after the fact).
