Yesterday, an army of PGW (Philadelphia Gas Works) and policemen told me to move my car as they were investigating a gas leak on my block.   I moved my car to the other side of the street.  Suddenly a platoon of media trucks showed up.  I couldn’t help but think this had something to do with the big gas pipe explosion that happened last week here in Philly (killing 1 guy).  The police chased them off (thankfully)!

This all started Tuesday, Jan. 25 around 2 PM.  They have been jackhammering and drilling my street (which has been closed) since (even at 3AM).  There are now 4 huge trenches in my street and the sidewalks are all tore up.  Add to this joy, it’s trash day tomorrow, the street is still closed and we’re expecting 10 inches of snow (at most).

Sing it with me, “PHIL-A-DEL-PHI-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

It will be very interesting to see what garbage day will hold for us tomorrow when the street is closed and 10 inches of snow is already on the ground.  Place your bets people!!!  (This is better than Parx casino – you don’t even have to leave your kid in the car!)
