Walkin' with George, IV



We were on 9th and Market when @GeorgeWard, that bold stump, asked if I even knew what it felt like to wear wet denim all day so I knew I had to do something really really big if I was going to win.

Check Mate.

Pleasure passing the blocks with you @GeorgeWard. Hope we can do it again soon! (Just checked the Doppler - we probably will.)

Walkin' with George, III



Around 12th and Market we started experiencing a bit of vertigo.

@GeorgeWard, however, had little time for our shenannies and soldiered on.

Walkin' with George, II



Our second stop with @GeorgeWard was on 11th and Chestnut, where we can now admit we became a LITTLE dramatic about the recent climate situation.

Walkin' with George, I




We walked a few blocks through Philadelphia with reader @GeorgeWard on Tuesday night. Things started out friendly and rule-abidingly enough, but rest assured, deteriorated quickly.

Stay tuned.

First, from 11th and Locust

Courtney's rainy day: part 13

Spot 13: 49th near Cedar

At the end of a long day, Courtney only has two things on her mind: getting these GD pictures off her phone and getting a dry pair of socks.

And that's when fate tapped her on the shoulder and asked for just one last swing around the dance floor.



Enjoy the fresh socks, Courtney.

Thanks for allowing us to chronicle your commute through the (fabricated) tales of broken umbrellas, Courtney, and thanks for all your diligent photojournalism!

Courtney's rainy day: part 12

12th and Market

Shortly after leaving the protest, the city quieted. Elvis Presley's voice snarled in her ear

We're caught ina trappp

and Courtney touched her ears to see if she was wearing her iPod. She wasn't. She turned, and that's when she saw it. Them.




She stared for a moment before realizing she had her cell phone in her hand. Her cell phone, with the 5.0megapixel camera. They'll never believe this she thought.

Behind her, a woman dropped a dollar into the singer's hat and kept walking. A few seconds later, Courtney did as well. (We're guessing)

Where did she go?

Courtney's rainy day: part 11

Spot 11: 12th & Market



On her way home from work, Courtney participated in a sit in. Broken umbrellas were protesting the elitist acceptance practices of Philadelphia's most trashy club, Big Belly. That no one had ever seen inside one only made them want to gain entrance even more. And while the picketers appreciated Courtney's sympathy, the small crowd said a check might really help more toward their cause and then sent her on her way.

Where will Courtney end up next?

Spot 10: 11th & Market



Courtney happened upon some Gorilla action, Snookin for love!

Move along and let's pretend we did NOT just go there.

Spot 9: 10th & Market

Here comes Courtney again! It's later in the day and she's back on the move. Fortunately, this forget-me-not could be as well.

Spot 8: 7th & Market

Eureka!



And with a spring in her step and a jam-packed SIM card, our intrepid umbrellarazza enters the workday (we surmise) having accomplished almost as much as we have in a year.

Which begs the question - Courtney, do you have a secret foul-weather gear sartorial recipe you'd like to share with the group? Because, wow. These were of a decidedly non-monsoon-condition quality!
