Moving To Philadelphia

More is revealed about local politics and culture through interactions with neighbors and ward leaders. Meanwhile, a portrait of the late Walter Edmonds (the fascinating former owner of the house now occupied by Ms. Hopkins and Mr. Sugg) continues to assemble itself in literary fashion, emerging through a collection of anecdotes passed along by friends and family members, as well as objects accidentally discovered in the house. References are made to Moby Dick, Jersey Boys, a poem titled “When I am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple”, and James Turrell (whose outdoor sculpture at the Walker Art Center inspires this week’s song "Frame the Sky.") Last but not least, the inaugural “joke of the week” is unveiled, and a previous week’s visit to Le Cat Café in Brewerytown is described. Here is a link to some photos we've uploaded can be seen on Ms. Hopkins' website. For those who are interested in reading the whole of the poem referenced, here it is:  When I Am Old.
