Trike Blastin'

author: serlingrod : Philadelphia, PA

I caught this kid blasting with his crew along Allegheny Avenue near A and B Streets. His homemade trike consists of a giant speaker unit hooked up to a turntable. His five or six buddies all had giant PR flags on their bikes.

It seems that in every city I visit, there's at least one apparently schizophrenic individual who travels the streets with hand-scrawled signs filled with biblical references, rants about sin, and just plain nonsense.

Luncha! Luncha!

With its high concentration of factories during the industrial revolution, Kensington was once referred to as the Workshop of the World (www.workshopoftheworld.com). Since deindustrialization and white flight occurred after World War II, much of the neighborhood has become blighted. However many sections are quite healthy, with large populations of Puerto Ricans and other Hispanics locating here in the past few decades and investing heavily in the area. There’s also been a large influx in recent...

Sell Out Lawyer

author: serlingrod : Philadelphia, PA

Spotted in a cab from 31st & Chestnut. The driver had quite a personality. Never got the chance to ask about the lawyer though, but I'll be sure not to give Mr. Newman my business.
