PWD Editor Cheats Death Yet Again

I live in Center City on a beautiful tree-lined street. It’s called Clinton Street; as you might have guessed, it’s named after Parliament Funkadelic’s own George Clinton. Or possibly it’s named after Bill Clinton. Or, rather, after someone who was actually born when the street got it’s name. Either way, it’s a cute two-block street with apartments, rich people and trees.

Unfortunately, that last one was a bit of a problem last night. See the circled tree above? It’s about 15 feet from my apartment. And now, it’s a little closer to it (click to enlarge).

I wish I could buy stock in things like “This tree’s going to be on the street for three months.”

Update: And here’s some destruction from West Philly courtesy of Kyle Cassidy.

    Awesome. Make sure you check under the sidewalk for Walter Annenberg’s buried treasure and the bones of murdered Cowboys fans and stuff.

    Are you kidding me, on that fancypants block? That’ll be cleaned up by dinnertime.
