Philly

[tkiesel]

I'm originally from 3rd & Ritner but now live at 2nd & Tree. Attended Our Lady of Mt. Carmel for grade school and St. Maria Goretti for high school - graduated in 1982. Where did you guys all go to school?

Wow! Lots of 2nd Street! I lived at 2nd and Mercy until I was 5. Moved to NE Philly (Parkwood) and now live in Bucks County. I still have family on Mercy.

This is a lot like my family. We moved to Mayfair when I was 10. I now live in Morrell Park and my DD lives in Parkwood Manor. I will always be from 2nd St in my heart.

So, were you guys and gals among those who threw snowballs at Santa at the Eagles game back when?

Not I! I have never been (nor will I ever go!) to an Eagles game! Call me a chicken (and cheap!). I rather sit in the warmth of my family room and watch a game than sit outside in the cold! I don't get and never will!

Now have I stood out on 2nd Street waiting for the Mummers? YEP! Did it much more often when I was a kid and my parents would take me back down and then again when I was old enough to drive and I would go see my Grandmother dancing in the street. Once she was gone, it grew lesser and lesser and now my dear, dear aunt is gone, I doubt I will ever go back again.

I would bet most of you who grew up around 2nd Street even know my aunt. She worked at Sharswood for years and she was just such a gentle soul. I miss her dearly.

I never went to an Eagles game, too cold. I love standing in the cold on 2nd Street waiting for the mummer's parade however. My aunt is moving so I don't think I will be doing that any more.

I went to Sharswood as a kid but my last year was in 1966. I only remember my last teacher. I had a little crush on him. If she was wporking then maybe she was one of the people who was always telling me to leave the walls alone. I liked to touch them for some reason.
