About 8 blocks from me...in a beautiful park. Of all of the places you'd think that this wouldn't happen, that's the one. I really haven't heard of too many people ever being robbed there.

This is where it happened:

What the heck, the story doesn't even say if he at least prevented the robbery.

Very brave. Someone who said, 'no, not in my town'

Cops know who one of them is apparently...hopefully both are in bracelets soon.

Philly has always been a rough town. They even threw snowballs at Santa Claus

But I always feel safe at Villa di Roma, just don't ask why its cash only

Most parts of Philly are no rougher than anywhere else...and that santa thing is so freaking, blood curdlingly, annoying.

1. It was 50 years ago.
2. It wasn't about booing Santa...it was about booing the direction of the team.
3. The Santa was skinny, with his beard falling off and, apparently, stumbling drunk.
4. I think having a fan base that says no to BS is a positive.

If you ever want good Italian, let me know and I'll send you to a place.

Heh...and I often ride that huffy to some pretty good places.
