Somehow, E. Passyunk Ave got a glowing write up in some stupid travel magazine because they are rededicating the stupid “singing” fountain (“singing” because it has speakers playing sirius radio mounted around it).  I believe the article left out one important part that I have personally experienced living in this neighborhood.  I left a comment on the article to that affect.  It reads as follows:

Just don’t let the older native Italian crack head and meat head bigots find out you are gay, black or Latino or they’ll beat the crap out of you on the street while the police look away. And beware the unemployed pharmaceutical junkies on xanax and percosets. They have no idea what they are doing and they may suddenly start screaming profanities at the sky or a telephone pole or anything that moves. There’s a TON of unemployed pill popping junkies in this neighborhood walking around like empty headed zombies.
