Philadelphia is lush compared to where I live now in California.I was very happy there on vacation in June. We stopped for cold martinis at sidewalk tables, admired deciduous trees in full leaf, gazed at the Wissahickon Creek and Schuykill River fat with water, listened to people all around speaking Philly.
Hard to believe my memories of growing up there go back over 40 years. Manayunk is no longer depressed. The Morris Arboretum is a glory of gardens, restored by the University of Pennsylvania. The Art Museum has a new wing and is under construction with a Frank Gehry addition. Mt. Airy still feels like a hip village. The kids in the bars look so young. When did the drinking age drop to 15?
