Re: Pope Francis in Philly

Mz iMac · ‎07-26-2014

I live in So. Jersey in Camden Co. Ain't no way am I going to Philly to see the Pope. I'll see him w/the best seats or bed in my house right in front of the tv!!!

I am NOT walking across the Ben Frank Bridge. I don't have a "special" ticket to use PATCO.

Did that shop have a lot of good items?

Yes, everything "religious" you can imagine. The shop is on 11th & Market.

However, In N.J., Boscov's in the Moorestown Mall has better t-shirts. Most of the messages on the shirts are pretty funny.

P.S. I am not Catholic.

I'm Catholic but I find it so odd the cult of personality that has risen up about this particular Pope.

My 25-year-old granddaughter said she and mom were buying a week's worth of groceries, then locking their apartment door and not leaving until it's over. (They live in Philly.) They may watch some of it on TV.

I live in Center City Philadelphia and will probably be inside the "red zone". We all hope that things will not be as bad as they fear. Security will be incredibly tight due to the experience at the Boston marathon.

We were told to prepare as if we were expecting a 3 day snow storm. But we are supposed to be able to walk around.
