To me, growing up in South Philly was truly a wonderful and great experience. I really believe that you must have lived there yourself to really understand exactly what I am saying and why.

There were wonderful foods, fast cars, beautiful girls, and really good deals for things that supposedly just happened to drop off the backs of trucks, love, caring for others and their situations, and much more.
