Philadelphia

They've been moving into the area I grew up in as well.  I moved to Glenmoore after ninth grade (when I transferred to Downingtown), and the suburbs were already encroaching there.  Lots of developments and cookie-cutter homes.  It just kept going after I went to college and Hell's Furnace.

Even Honey Brook has a golf course now.

I miss the gritty Phoenixville! Chase needs to visit and rub some grit off on it

The totally redid the Bridge Street area too. Major jerkoffville there. Not sure if you've ever been there but that's the street where the colonial theater is

I've taken my deers to be processed in HoneyBrook.  Yeehaw

They've tried to model it after Manayunk. It's not bad, but the douchefactor has definitely gone up quite a bit. My 2 favorite places to eat as a kid are closed now. Manny's Pizza, which was on Bridge St, and TD Alfredo's on Nutt and (I think) 2nd.  The north side is still relatively unchanged though since that's where most of the homies live.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yep that is exactly right...they're going for the Manayunk vibe.

I go to TD's for pizza and there's a place down the road a bit called Liberty Square owned by a greek dude (with a hot ass daughter) and his hoagies and cheesesteaks are the best in town.

[Sgt PSN]

TD's was awesome when I was in HS. $7.50 got you a meat roll, fries, soda and a pack of Newport.  And they delivered.

[PhillyPhreak54]

They moved down the road to where a Wawa use to be and the Liberty Square place is in their old building.

They're still pretty cheap. Bob's Haven is another good place

[Sgt PSN]

Oh, I thought they closed. I knew they moved down the st, but I thought they closed sometime later.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Nope...I am craving their pizza right now...and Frank's black cherry wishniak

Limerick used the scare the shtein out of me when I was a kid. I always thought it was going melt down.

[Rome]

You mean it didn't?  If it did that would go a long way in explaining people from Phoenixville and their inexplicable love of wearing football jerseys at historic landmarks.

i was two stories up on pole scaffolding when the warning alarm test went off for the nuke plant. the alarm was on the utilty pole right across from us. it was so loud it cracked the window in front of me.

yeah those "contractors grade" windows didnt cut it. neither did my ear drums.

[General_Failure]

How about your pants?

[smeags]

it was winter so i had my coveralls on.

they did well after a couple runs through the washer.
