• Whenever I see this skyline, a sense of calm overwhelms me and I know I'm home. If I'm here in Florida, I placate myself by watching "Cold Case" (hey - exteriors could be stock footage for all I care but it's STILL Philly skyline).


• It is where I can say "yeah" and feel not as self-conscious because god knows some people down here (and Meowmix) detest the accent. Whatevs. If I really want to piss them off, I'll say "Water", however in my accent it comes out "Woo-ter".


• It means that my accent will sticks for 3 weeks or so after I return and I can drive everyone here in the south nuts. (It also comes back when I'm talking on the phone to any of my Philly crew).


• It is where I can see some of my absolute favorite people in the world - people who understand some of my neuroses and love me anyways.


• It is where I can do some shopping and not feel the guilt because I'll get back on the financial treadmill when I return.


• It is where I can get an authentic Philly cheesesteak and not shoot myself mentally over the calories (because I refuse to have them anywhere else BUT Philly).


• It is where I can have cocktails and know that we always have a designated driver.


• It is where I can sit, reminisce, laugh and cry and not feel guilty about the time escaping us.


• It is where I can make new memories and count the days til when I return.


• It is the perfect blend of old and new - the historic versus the modern.


• It is where I don't actually MIND the snow - I just bitch alot.
