It was a dark and stormy night...
NO, NO, NO it wasn't!!!
It must have been September or October of 1987…the air was crisp, cool. Dry, colored leaves swirled around our feet. My boot heals crunched the autumn pallet tossed across the sidewalk. I held my skirt close to my hips when the wind gusted by us. I turned my face away from the chill and gathered my jacket in front of me. It seemed a dirty city then to me, though at that time, my experiences with urban life were limited. The sun had set hours ago, marking a change in the people populating the streets. South Street belonged to us now...the evening shift brought with it the fortunate middle-class, the artists, the weary street people searching for the elusive safe spot to stow away. And me. It was for me and my windswept excitement. We quickened our pace and encountered the distinct smell of cheese steaks each block we traveled. This was my first trip to Philly – I had only graduated high school the year before, and I was young, curious, and excited to be going out to clubs in a new town. I was also prone to naivety and youthful spontaneity…I nearly had my nose pierced on that trip, but vanity prevailed that night - I couldn't have my nose red and swollen before hitting the clubs!
We decided to stop for a bite to eat. We had time to spare, and actually time to burn, because showing up at a club before 10 o'clock was foolish. We asked for a booth near the back of the restaurant, affording us a view of anyone entering the establishment. I loved people-watching in Philly. And I also enjoyed people watching me. It was important then to be noticed. After all, I didn't spend a few hours getting ready to merely hide myself away in a dark corner.
I had a good time in Philly. The end.
