Since my last visit to Philly (the Philadelphia Flower Show on March 2nd), I too am having second thought about returning for a visit. Bill and I want to visit the old homestead on Naudain Street, but after seeing a cluster of uniform police standing at the corner of the Reading Terminal during my flower show visit, I now realize why they were there. They were there at this high traffic tourist area to discourage any "wolf packs" from attacking the visiting tourists at the Convention Center. I didn't realize this until I returned home and read about some of the random wolf-pack robberies. <br>Of course I understand that Philadelphia doesn't want the bad publicity of the possibility of out of towners (and the wolf packs know who we are, they're smart) being robbed. You're right, center city Philadelphia isn't what it used to be when we lived and worked there in the 70's and 80's. An era has passed. In fact, I find center city Philadelphia dirty and unappealing now. It is a shame. While there was always the threat of a random mugging (I was mugged once during the 70's), it was less likely than it is today. <br><br>I'm glad I got out of the city when I did in 1994. I saw it going downhill even then when I had to step over homeless drug addicts and crazies just to get to and from work all the while paying a 5% city wage tax for the "privilege" of working in Philadelphia. What did it for me was after one long hard day of work, all the trains were out of service because someone in West Philly had thrown something on the overhead lines of the commuter trains and all the service had to be discontinued that night. Remember the dreaded phrase "Please find alternative means of transportation." That night I slept on the floor at the bank. That night I decided I had enough of working in Philadelphia. Long before that I had decided I had enough of living in Philadelphia. Everything came together that night when I made my decision. I have never regretted my move. <br><br>I love living in Delaware. This is the best time of my life.<br><br>Good posting Lar.Ron Tiptonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.com
