slope…I’m at 12th and Waverly and also out in Bucks County. We have a nice corner federal townhouse built in 1810. I like Philly because its quiet and civilized. Over the past 10 years the restaurants now compwete with anywhere in the country but that wsn’t true 10 years ago save for but a few.
kens yes you can come and bring your vodka to the roof thingie! is snappy here today? snappy and dipster would sometime during the week next week be better? the weather will be nicer, i think it’s going to be grey and rainey tomorrow. and someone said they like 11217 cuz he has a lot of fight in him. i find him quite entertaining cuz he really knows how to queen out better than anyone ive ever seen!
For anyone determined to prove themselves as a true Brooklynite, I recommend the following topics from my childhood: please debate the relative costs and merits of a Spaldeen v. a Pensy Pinky, and whether bottlecaps should or should not be filled when playing Skelly. (I am, BTW, a native Brooklynite, older than DIBS but probably not the What, and can speak about the OH-B strike from firsthand experience.)
As to heliocentrism, Egyptians, turtles, and definitive knowledge, I recommend the following (copied from Wikipedia, to save typing): The most widely known version [of “Turtles all the way down”] appears in Stephen Hawking’s 1988 book A Brief History of Time, which starts: “A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: “What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.” The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, “What is the tortoise standing on?” “You’re very clever, young man, very clever,” said the old lady. “But it’s turtles all the way down!”
Buzz-a-rama — slot car racing. Church & Dahill. Last one left in Brooklyn, AFAIK. Place hasn’t changed in 40 years.
DIBS,
I like Philly, too. My wife’s from the area and I worked there one summer. We are in Center City a lot. Older suburbs are filled with great stone houses and wooded hills. City has lots of great rowhouses, a bit of Brooklyn and Beacon Hill, but cheaper. Great music history — jazz, soul, folk, etc. Great cultural amenities. Easy to get around. I have to sign off the thread, but are you in the suburbs or the City?

“I wonder if What’s got a little Eqyptian in him.”
No, but I bet he’d like some
dibs- no. But he does have a lot of BS.
