I apologize for not posting any Northeast Times letters yesterday. Things were hectic. But, today, I’ve refocused, and stumbled upon the continuing debate over Jeanne Smith and her chickens:
Chicken lady is getting a raw deal
Please tell me this is a joke: A woman by the name of Jeanne Smith has chickens and someone is upset.
I just retired from the police department. The entire area of the East Division looks like a farm. They have llamas, camels and chickens. There must be hundreds on every block living in everybody’s back yard. These evil people who are going after Jeanne should be ashamed. If she has the room and the kids like it, go for it.
Wow. Hundreds of llamas and camels inhabiting our city. Who knew?

Northeast Philadelphia? With the llamas and whatnot?
The things I don’t know about this city. Amazing.

I bet the Temple students already knew about this. And they could tell you how to get there.
Damn! Double post. I need a drink.
Thanks! Fred will be happy too :-)
Screw llamas. My neighbors have AARDVARKS!
The novel I’m working on is set in Philly, and one of the key scenes involves a high school pitcher getting loaded and cutting a llama’s throat when the llama spits at him.
That’s somewhat based on real life, as W.B. Saul High school in Roxborough had a llama (apparently, to scare off wild dogs, who I guess were messing with their livestock?), and it suffered a similar fate, although I’m not sure they ever caught the guy who did it.
