where I lived until Muti quit the orchestra. Then the TLA closed. I know the place you mean on South St. The last time I was there I had front center seats to see Acoustic Alchemy. We had picked up some Thai and ate it while they played (how rude). God I miss the city. If only it were kid friendly I'd move back in a second. But then the jobs have left too. Yes I remember the TLA video store near our apt. bldg. door, right past the Latimer St. deli, where you could buy a six-pack of real beer: Samual Smith, Pilsner Urquell, DAB, ...and a few blocks away was Town Pizza, the best pizza East of John's Pizza in Frazer (which is still the world's best pizza, provided you go to John's place and not his disrespectful son's place across the street)...And now they have a film festival for a week...
Hey Victor, you know Philadelphia? You know the joke about William Penn? Here's the real test: try and spell the name of the expressway that comes in from the turnpike in King of Prussia. Only a real Philadelphian knows that.
***Only a real Philadelphian knows that.I am a proud Delawarian...
just in case someone's reading our mail:for a real test of driving skill, the Wissahickon Drive (I refuse to use the stupid names some politician changed that have no sense, no meaning, no local color, Lincoln, Columbus and Kelly can go back where they came from) during rush hour, preferably in the rain, both up and down stream. Mario himself fears to tread here. Just a reminder, the speed limit is only 25 (ha!).
the joke about William Penn: Starting at the art museum, take a drive towards city hall, and keep your eyes on William Penn (don't worry about where you're driving, nobody has insurance in the city). Let me know when you can see his charter.
and it was the other video store further down past the WAWA that closed. But you are so right, the staff there is excellent. They must watch movies more that I do, which is really sick. I loved their employee picks of the week. You know, when I patronized them, I can't ever remember even seeing one of the blockbuster hollywood movies on display. I don't think they even bothered to carry them. Don't you love it when they take a box out of your hand and say, "Don't get that...here, you'll like this much more."?
