in Phila. We lived a block away from Broad St in Center City and I went to Art College there. I wish I were there right now! I am a loyalist and haven't watched a football game since 2005 when they last played in the Superbowl and it was against the Patriots. I got up at 4 AM (French time) since I was there for Carnival in Nice. I had to leave the US due to Bush getting reelected and I would have "gone postal" if I stayed in the US any longer. YEAH PHILLY!!! My home town and DEMOCRATIC/BLUE!

My son was born while we were on vacation from California.. way back in the day.. we were visiting my then husband's aunts in Drexel Hill.. where he came out way early at Lankenau Hospital in Overbrook.

We just stayed there 6 weeks but I'll always have a fondness in my heart for Philly.

Son mostly grew up in San Diego, though.. but now he's been on Kaua'i since '85. Chargers were still his Team.

He told me on the phone tonight that the Phillies and The NE Patriots were in the Super Bowl "about 10 years ago".. I'll have to tell him it was 2005!

Lucky you getting to leave the country when bush was in his 2nd damn term. I was in New York and on DU

Philly Eagles!

they did it. But, since I'm up here in NE, I'm glad they did. I'm sick of the superior attitude. Glad the underdog won.

Congratulations!
