Today, was too nice of a day to sit inside at the computer to write. I went out early, ran some errands, and had tacos for lunch. I came home. I took a nap. I got up to take a walk with camera in hand and took photos of my neighborhood for those of you, who read this blog and are not familiar with what South Philly looks like.
My Block
Two rehabbed houses on Jessup Street, the street behind mine.
This is what typical alleyway looks like... gate and all

East Passyunk Avenue runs at a diagonal
through my neighborhood.
It has cute shops and restaurants.
Living in Philadelphia, you sometimes forget,
there are murals everywhere

Gino's Steaks and Pat's Steaks sit at the end of the market
People call it the Italian Market or Ninth Street
This is just the South of Washington Avenue. There are actually more stores and stalls on the North side
But I was there too late for it to be open
This is where you saw Rocky Balboa run
