Where did you find this?
Are you able to search the inquirer archives online somewhere?
Or were you doing research at the library or something?

And I am sure the terrorists are reading Philly Blog daily, scribbling down ideas on fiendish ways to disrupt life in this surging metropolis. Just as soon, of course, as they can locate it on a map and figure out why anyone would care to attack it.

George Bush defeated the terrorists, so stop fretting yourselves.

Thanks for an interesting view of the old 'Manayunk Bridge'. I love the reference to "West Manayunk", a term I still like to use to confuse people, or maybe to clarify.
