oh I meant I know where the stuff in the pics is..but actually now that i think of it, i have this old black and white book of photos of philadelphia that was printed in the mid 60s that i took from my grandparents years ago. i'll scan some of these up. it is intersting to see some of the stff because it show allot of the neightborhoods were fairly nice before industry left and crime and drugs moved in and destroyed things. the neightborhood my mother grew up in is now called the badlands. Godabandoned me probably chases crackheads through her alley every day. places like 4th and cambria , 3rd and wyoming and 5th and indiana were decent back in those days. people were poor, but had dignity.
