There is a breakfast/sandwiches place 2 blocks from Helix (forgot the name

). I'm their regular customer.

I stop by there for breakfast everytime I went to Helix.

yeah....not many areas in Philly proper I'd feel ok sleeping in the car in. in fact, I hate Philly. Mostly because that's where my old boss was located.

Huh? I've never ONCE been killed on the streets of Philly.

You should have seen this neighborhood when we started 6 years ago: compared to then, it's Beverly Hills.

There is a video on youtube that my friend took while in philly. Myself and him came down to helix to get a pulley installed and while there we walked to the super market and there was some crazy women signing the Notra Dame fighting irish song. I will post the video later.

yeah I remember when Eric made a living fixing flat tires for the nieghborhood kids, and the bathroom was the vacant lot across the street. I also remember when his oil drain pan was a bucket, piece of cardboard and a trash can!!!!

Ohh the good ole days. I spent so much time at helix in 2003 and 2004. you would thought i would have squatters rights!!!!

P.s. Wish i had the funds to make this event
