It's March; I'm sick. I apologize for the real bad slowness in recent updates. And, I blame the doldrums. I love winter like I love the four seasons, but you know. But just to keep you abreast of current back end goings on, here are a few expectations for the near future of Philly Skyline dot com:

For real. Let it snow. I love it. So much so that no matter how late I was out the night before, I'll lace up the Tims
at 8am on a Sunday to head out face first into the blizzard to enjoy it and, of course, shoot some pictures. Sunday's pictures are the first image linked below. In other news, whilst perusing some of my favorite Philly blogs (you know, D-Mac, Albert, Philebrity and the like) last week, I came across ASM's post on the South Philly oil plume. "Huh," I thought, "that's something I haven't thought about for a while." Perhaps it was odd to have thought about it at all, but I have. I used to really dig on the Penrose Diner (before I decided that Morning Glory was worth waiting and not driving through Point Breeze for), so I had heard about this underground oil slick, thanks to my own curiosity about the abandoned nearby Passyunk Homes. While Passyunk Homes are long since razed (and the DePaul Group, the same folks to blame for Dockside Apartments -- you know, that boat-shaped building on Delaware Ave near South St -- is planning to develop housing there), the slick is still there. Check out this Daily News story for the back story. Then check out the link below for pictures of the place just before it was leveled. DON'T FORGET!

That seems to be the theme of the day. To point: The All Proper Philly Skyline travelling photo show has added Day by Day to its repertoire. We'll be there for a little while but the warm mushroom salad might not, so get over there quick. Day by Day is at 21st & Sansom and is open for weekday lunch and weekend brunch. Skyline goes Sunset II: Matt Johnson has brought us his second neighborhood tour in everyone's favorite hillside by the river, Manayunk. Have a look-see through his eyes by clicking below. The devil went down to FDR Park: John Yeomans is another old skool Philly skyline head, this time bringing us his first photo essay, his half of a daytrip he and I took through the scruffy southern end of the city. The villanous Volguus roams again: Steve Ives has finally weathered the storm and hit his own streets. His neighborhood in Haddington out in West Philly will be live and direct sometime this week. Kristine Allouchery's lower Kensington / west Fishtown / north Northern Liberties / but not JuNoGi isn't far behind. I've also got some projects underway, so keep stopping back if you don't mind. Don't forget to check on construction statuses around town at The Skinny, and track the progress of Philadelphia's soon-to-be tallest building, Comcast Center. B Love |
