I had trustifarians camped out by my door one morning with--get this--a Starbucks coffee cub attached to a fishing rod.

And of course, the cardbord sign said "Fishin' For Change! :-)"

Like... seriously. I want the City to repeal the Tazer ordinace and start licensing them to Center City residents. I want to start Tazing these idiots like bugzappers.

Yes.... it's such a hellhole. You can't go a day without a shooting, mugging or drug bust in RS.

And that's different from Rittenhouse how? The ONE time I had a problem in the Square, the cops showed up in about 45 seconds and took care of it immediately.

Just because I'm tall and I'm a flamboyant dresser, don't be hatin'. Those aren't stilts...those are my legs. Sigh.
