#Manayunk is a trendy neighborhood located in Northwest #I Philadelphia next to the scenic #SchuylkillRiver. It has many bars, cafés, and unique restaurants in addition to hosting the annual #ManayunkArtsFestival. I believe the name was derived from Lenin-Lenape Tribe of Native Americans (also called The Delaware Indians), who were the original inhabitants of the Philadelphia area which was called Shackamaxon when #WilliamPenn arrived in the 1600’s. #DogLovers

Actual view of where I live.

The yellow circle with the cutest doggo in it is where I live, in the bottom half of the Historic Alcoa / Regional Enterprise Tower big gray building. Traffic on William Penn Pl. is one way, crossing 6th.

You can't see it in this Google Maps satellite photo, but these streets are usually JAMMED with cars, because the building across William Penn Pl. from where I live is the Monaco hotel, and the blue scribbled line is the Omni William Penn hotel. They have no turnarounds, and pickup and dropoff occurs in the parking lanes of the street, heavily managed by their valet staff.

People turn or drive into the red box
and then just stop. It's infuriating. Traffic backs up in all directions except in front of them.

Honking ensues, which is really annoying when, like we do, one lives in a low-numbered floor close to the street (we're literally on 2 in the front corner
at the actual intersection). Honking, solid, for minutes at a time. And yes I'd probably honk too if people just tied up traffic because they have no situational awareness.

I get it. We're all built differently and have different strengths and weaknesses, but like damn dude if you're gonna drive a car try not to pull over in the MIDDLE of a hugely busy downtown intersection to load and unload and talk to pedestrians while traffic backs up for a mile in an already congested city.

The Bushel case of 1670, celebrated in a plaque in the Old Bailey, was that of two Quakers, William Mead and William Penn. Back then, nice middle-class liberals actually stood for something, and they wouldn't give up.

Sir Edward Davey take note.

I applaud those standing today in solidarity with Trudi Warner.
