Philly
I'm in Philadelphia. (Separately, I've decided that Philadelphia is one of the hardest words to type correctly, though I haven't no explanation for why.) Last night, a police chopper circled overhead for about 10 minutes, using their spotlight to highlight the block next to where I'm staying until several patrol cars rolled up. It was super exciting compared to my hood. Then, the girl I'm staying with told me how she thinks someone tried to break into her house last night by climbing in from the roof. This is so like living in East Baltimore.
Did I mention that one time, I came home to find my front door wide open? Or that packages routinely sit on my porch all day? My neighborhood is so boring.
I wonder if I should go for a run this morning and see where all the action was. (I asked the girl here if this was a neighborhood you could run in, and she said, "Well, that depends on how fast you run.")
On a different note, it's possible that Philly has more hipsters than Portland. And I swear the guy who works at Bishops on Hawthorne has a brother here. Who works at a half-carnivorous/ half-vegan cheesesteak shop. Of course.

It's good to see you're still writing. Although, my first attempt at commenting came with a failed submission due to "questionable content."
