I saw the below collage floating on Facebook publicly. The above photo was shared by a friend of mine.
And Cherellle Parker? She is just the way I thought she would be. She be the Queen of PHILTHADELPHIA, hear her roar, and I am sure she has a dozen more pressers planned.
Big mouth do nothing PHILTHADELPHIA politician.
People in that city had the opportunity for better mayoral choices but no….and here we are….July 4th weekend….good job (again) Cherelle…you are trashy, indeed.
I had not been to FDR Park before the Philadelphia Flower Show self-located there a couple of years ago now. And I have to be honest, that park made it a better flower show. After all, it was outdoors the way flower shows are supposed to be. I found the park to be amazing and interesting and home to quite the array of flora and fauna.
But of course, the City of Philadelphia seems to not be able to get out of their own way and want to create a turf field paradise there….which obviously would destroy the nature of it all. Turf fields are toxic in my humble opinion. Apparently some neighbors and Philadelphia residents also have that opinion because they have retained West Chester Attorney Sam Stretton and filed suit yesterday.
Here is what I have seen about this:

Here’s a novel idea for Filthadelphia: clean up the streets. That means trash, potholes, broken sidewalks, the smell of human urine. Clean up crime. Clean up Fairmount Park and other parks and let them be parks. It’s not a greenspace Madam Mayor if it’s artificial turf. It’s just colored green and smells like plastic. I have to be honest that I am shocked that even from a fiscal aspect that the City of Philadelphia would even think of spending crazy money to in effect, destroy a park, can’t you agree?
We went into Center City Philadelphia to see my parents this weekend. I have not been in Philadelphia since before the riots this summer.
I didn’t have a camera with me so I captured a couple of photos on my phone but it really doesn’t do what looking at the city looks like now justice.
The city of Philadelphia after a year of COVID19 and riots and protests is not good in my opinion. So many boarded up store fronts. And these weird outside pods for bars on the sidewalk which are mostly on the street making them more narrow.
The streets themselves are in horrible condition, holes and potholes and trenches everywhere. Broken pavement everywhere waiting to literally trip you. Coming up 16th St. going home we also passed this generator that was almost a city block long that was running.
The streets are mostly empty. The people you see the most of are homeless. It’s back to Filthadelphia.
Philadelphia looks grey and grimy , depressed, and sad. And it wasn’t just a grey day making me feel that. I used to love the city. It felt alive and vibrant. Now it feels to be barely hanging on.
Thanks for stopping by.
Dear Philadelphia,
Appalachia or Albania or Calcutta ? Can’t decide what the look is you are going for this fall.
I have never seen the streets look so bad or full of hazards. You can be on foot or in a vehicle, it doesn’t matter.
And the city is dirty. Filthy dirty. So it doesn’t matter if you are building shiny new buildings, everywhere you look is a hot mess. Oh sure there are trash cans… but the ones I passed yesterday were full and garbage spewing over. Then there is whatever is on the ground.
And your homeless population seems to have increased. Increased enough that they are blocking the streets begging. Even a homeless man on 16th Street lying down completely on the sidewalk reading a book with people stepping over him.
I am a native Philadelphian and yesterday we had family and friends in from out of town and it was embarrassing.
The buck stops at the Mayor’s Office in City Hall on this one. Hey Jim Kenney are you blind to all of this? Do you think you could stop running for re-election long enough to take a good look at what everyone sees and experiences? It’s a little hard to experience the best Philadelphia has to offer when all she seems to offer is filth, fractured roads and sidewalks, and people in dire need of help.
