PHILLY | After Twelve Years Here's Six Months



So yes, it's been a little while. It's been a busy few months for me to say the least. I have to do one of these every once in a while to maintain sanity. I've been doing them for long enough...hell, today is my 12th anniversary here.

Yeesh.

And forgive me...I've joined The 'gram.

Federation logo?











































































George Takei has seen this one...





































































































































































And I certainly do thank you for coming along with me.

You did a great, great job! Thanks for sharing, volguus zildrohar.

I´ve liked people shots in the No Pants Subway Ride. Funny pics.

Love all the views of Philadelphia you´ve taken.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.

Bad to the bone! It seems like Philly retains the raw, hard grit that people romanticize about in the "old" New York of the '80s and early '90s.

So much character, but so gritty and filthy at the same time...I get more and more curious about Philly, but I still don't have the desire to live there like I do other top urban cities.

Great photo set though.

Philly was not overly filthy or gritty when I was there. An urban lover could easily live there without those things being a factor more than they are in other cities imo.

Okay, so first off, fuck you for denying us your talent for so long. Yeah it's worth the wait, but we waited too long. Fuck you.

Second, 12 years ago when you joined up Philadelphia was a very underrated US city in every sense. We forumers really didn't know what we were missing, and thanks to Philly formers like Sasso and you we finally figured it out. And then you guys disappeared for most of the time so it's still underrated, even on the forum, so fuck you.

Third, I am going to have to revisit this thread because one pass isn't enough, and I've got family in town right now and other things to do, so fuck you.

In closing, fuck that--this here is El Rey, El Rey, El Rey, El Rey:

...when the walls fell.

Nice references, Philly. I was going to highlight two other photos, but fflint and Nineties Flava already did. Superb stuff as always, VZ, thanks for the views.
