About Philadelphia

So. This one time. Met a gal. Called herself Ruby. Real name? Who knows. Prolly not. She’s workin’ corners. Downtown. Smokin’ cheap cigs. Eyes like. She’s seen ghosts. Told me. She got robbed. Twice. Last month. No kiddin’. Pissed me off. These lowlifes. Preyin’ on her. “There’s no more time.” She says. Quotin’ Polanski’s film. Like it’s her life. And damn. It kinda is. Blew my mind. How she connected. That shit.

Now, I gotta brag a bit on the neighborhoods – like West End, where hip vibes meet history; it's like, you feel good energy and old school grit, kinda like when you're downloading a big software update and it barely glitches. Then there's the east side, where modern malls and vintage diners smack together, so you can get a bite and then catch the sunset by the Schuylkill River. Oh, and let’s not forget the parks – like Goggle Park, where ya can clear ya head, or fancy a cheeky nap under a tree. Mad times here.
