this is what you'd see. Part of a new banner for the700level. Go Look. Go Birds.
What follows is a digital photo diary of the day that was Oct. 31st, 2008. The day of the World Series Championship parade for YOUR Philadelphia Phillies. To view the images, please click READ MORE.
Over 500 people on the platform of Yardley's station, waiting for an R3 West Trenton train that would never come.
The EL from Spring Garden to City Hall.
Top: South Street facing Broad. Bottom: Morris and Broad.
I count 2 in this tree on South and Broad. How many do you see...?
The scene at the South Philly Tap Room on Mifflin.
The day was a perfect storm of sorts, with a parade and Halloween falling on the 31st. Here: Reptile and Sub-Zero. Finish Him.
A haircut for the ages, found at a benefit for Wesley Major on Saturday the 1st.
Broad and Oregon, Sunday before the Flyers game.

Blame it on Tim Burton, for making that ridiculous "Nightmare Before Christmas" movie, pitting two holidays that have no business being in the same movie together... in the same movie together. Blame it on the Phillies for winning the World Series. Or their Manager, Charlie "O' Come O' Come E" Manuel, who's line, "Christmas came early, let's go" plays before most of 97.5's station identifications. Whoever you blame it on, Christmas is here... at least in aural form.
When I think of Halloween, I think of growing up. When I think of growing up, I think of Nickelodeon. When I think of Nickelodeon, growing up, and Halloween... I think of this Pete and Pete Halloween short.
After last night's check swing-strike/ball-walk/appeal-to-first-base what have you... I couldn't help but think of this. After the jump, more clips that make me think the Naked Gun might be the funniest sports movie of all time. Eat it, Caddyshack.
On the eve of another Philadelphia Flyers Hockey season, I was thinking about how much "people" hate hockey. And by people... I mean ordinary people. People that don't miss NHL 2nite on ESPN. People that don't fawn over the Vs. schedule during the playoffs when they see an east-coast game scheduled for the 7pm time slot followed by a west-coast game at 10pm. These people don't agree with you that "Mites on Ice" should be a professional sport. But what if they did? What if hockey was as popular as American Football and received that type of attention? Pardon me for a minute whilst I wax as Andy Rooney. Didja ever wonder why Steve Sabol of NFL Films never created NHL Films? Why he didn't hire Harry Kalas to do dramatic voice overs of slow motion hockey hi-lights while that "drunken sailor" song played in the background? Why there isn't NHL Countdown hosted by Chris Berman, where he gives all players catchy nicknames? Well I have, and after the JUMP, I take on the roll of the Schwam and give nick-names to all your favorite Flyers Players.
