In August 2007 our family of four moved from the Bostonian Suburbs to Philadelphia. My elder son was born in this area and we had always felt a fondness for the city, so when my husband got an adjunct gig in the area we were more than happy to move.
There were many other MA -related factors to our move that aren’t worth getting into right now.
AND – there are many Philadelphia – realated factors that that have made this move less than an idyllic homecoming.
Regardless – I love this city like a beloved relative. That is — there are things here that are wonderful and there are things here that I hate. There are things here I’m excited about and there are things that I’m deathly afraid about. But, here I am.
This marks the beginning of a Category in which I’ll be ranting about the good, the bad, and the ugly bits about my beloved little town.
