Judging from the looks of that building, I suspect "forever" might be pushing it. A shame, though. It looks pretty solidly built, and I would think a little TLC would put a fine piece of classic Philly architecture back on the map.

yeah, it looks like a nice building, the old architecture must give way to the newer sleek buildings, i am old architecture, and i have given way to the newer sleeker young buildings that have come from my loins, my foundations, my cornerstone, i was once a young sleek new building bringing into itself all types of inhabitants, the good, the bad and the ugly, and as time moved on without my attention to it i eradicated and fumigated all the bad things, the rats and roaches that lurked in the hidden recesses of the foundation, and ushering forth a new group of young buildings, little one roomers, little condos, that soon stood next to the old architecture that protected them from the winds, storms and decaying debris, and they began to reach up and now are skyscrapers in their own rights. towering over the old architecture, knowing full well the damaged areas of the old architecture, the faults of the old building and they help stabilize it, replenish it, secure it, so it can sit there and gaze upon its own newer buildings and see that the windows are clean and there are no faults in their cornerstones and now from them a new group hatchlings of little buildings, a third generation, and one the old architecture takes such delight in, such love for his tiny and smallest of newer structures, ahh, the lives of buildings, the lives of people, listen to me, as all people who have lived a life walking on a stony path, take stock of your inner soul, look within yourselves and look for the building and cornerstone within you, make sure it is cemented in solid concrete without faults and whatever old faults that are there, re-cement them, paint over them, and never let them crack again, you are strong my young buildings, much stronger than you can imagine.

Smallest Street Performer in London


This guy was a horrible street performer, his thing was balancing spinning bicycle wheels on his hands, feet and head. He was not very good at it, and he had a nasty attitude and drew a crowd because he was a...
