Good morning, Friday. It's another pretty day here in the city of bro-therly love. Khan is enjoying his time in the city- he digs all the pretty girls, parks, and construction workers that call him "the big guy".
Admittedly, I have never been a huge Philly fan- it's that "I grew up here and couldn't wait to get out" kind of thing that had me tainted for years. But walking around yesterday, I realized it's a great little big city- managable, full of lovely coffee shops and restaurants, and decent shopping. Rittenhouse Square feels a bit like Paris, I'll have you know- with all of the outdoor cafes that have those chairs that all face the street- it's been said that the Parkway here was modeled after the Champs Elysees, so there you have it.
Oh and Philly is rad because Dr. J played here, back in the day. When I was wee, the Sixers were heaven sent. Here's number Six being awesome, and here's Khan rocking his jersey, last night. Philly is coolness because Khan is here, and Dr. J was here, and I am here, living, breathing, and happy to be in a city that has a center of some substance (sorry Miami). Oh and La Colombe coffee..amazing.
Hope you are somewhere awesome as well, with good coffee and a basketball legacy of some kind. All the love and have a great weekend- cause that's what's up this hoopy Friday in the 215. XO
