PHILADELPHIA CHALLENGE
I went to see Sarah Vowell read stories about wierd historical sites this week, and I asked her where she likes to visit in Philly. She said she doesn't have any sites in Philly and asked for suggestions. So there's your challenge blogfans! What's your favorite wierd Philadelphia?
Last night, I went to New York to see the badass Gotham City Roller Derby Girls knock each other over for fame and glory. The dj for the open skate that followed played a lot of ska and I almost broke my leg trying to skank on skates.

I'm not sure about sites in philly that have some creepy association with past US presidents and other politicians, but the Divine Lorraine had that cult association which I'm sure you know about... 12th or 11th sts housed former slaves as a part of the underground railroad ( and there is an informative historical marker on 12th i think)... lucretia mott lived near tyler on old york rd (also a marker there)...
i feel like this is my only way of connecting with ms vowell...
