Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

QuotePHILADELPHIA — Like other Vietnam veterans in the 1970s, Tom Garvey chased one job after another, fending off memories. Unlike other veterans, he says he turned a concession stand in a major American stadium into a place to crash for three years.

The venue was Veterans Stadium, capacity some 60,000, home to two professional teams and, partly, where Philadelphia fans earned an infamous reputation as either the best worst fans or the worst best fans in the United States.

For Mr. Garvey, now 78, it was also a home, a community and a kind of purgatory as he adapted to life after war.
There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists." - Yosemite Park Ranger

some of the numbers in this piece are mind boggling

Been in some real hellholes when I was in the military but there's still nothing I've seen that compares to Kensington. Allegheny is open drug users all over the street all day. I used to work down the street from k&a in the mid 90's...it was not great and a running joke but users and dealers were brown bag/beer/wire reference trying to hide shtein. Now it's legit hamsterdam. Close one area down they go somewhere else. Violence is only going to get worse.

we used to get some of the best 2 for 5 shtein on 5th and Lehigh when I was growing up...that was wild ass turf back then...badlands and all that...but to your point it's worse now

yeah the bad side is basically buying every small independent tv, radio and news station in the country and it's not news because they now own them all.
