In the middle of the holidays I saw a couple of video’s out of my old hometown that fits in the ‘We told you so’ category but it was the holidays and I figured the stories could wait a couple days.
I wouldn’t have posted about them at all but the stories modeled how two opposing hearts can use the same attitude when communicating their feelings. One attitude fits most situations in Philadelphia even when the citizens are laughing at the city’s slow motion obliteration.
That’s if the couple were Philadelphians. They did look like actors portraying upscale tourists.
I’ll start with the Philadelphia City Council March 12, 2014 https://youtu.be/Y-In-PqrChY video to establish the validity of it being in the ‘we told you so’ category. We numbered about eight.
If you have the time to watch the fifteen minute video you’ll see the future mayor pontificating to us not much differently than he does in this video to the news guy nine years later.

UPDATE: Looks like they edited the tourists and the mayor out of the story. I guess the mayor’s Laissez faire attitude didn’t play well.
Didn’t like his attitude nine years ago and still don’t.
I lost track of Broad and Liberty until a week or so ago when I saw this https://broadandliberty.com/2022/12/14/patty-pat-kozlowski-you-dont-need-brass-ones-to-commit-crime-in-philadelphia/. I liked her attitude and before I knew it I was reminiscing about long ago days in Philadelphia.
Funny how a person’s heart affects their attitude.
One person’s cold heart with attitude gets him elected to office and nine years later another person, same attitude different heart is puking at the results of the elected’s administration.
And the elected still doesn’t have the balls to openly express his heart’s depth of darkness by saying, with attitude, ‘hey, chit happens’ when he dances around the subject of city hall being openly dismantled by one of his people and the closest he can come to bragging about it has him sounding like a used up democrat.
