J.C. Dobbs on South Street has closed.

I spent many University days down there. Awesome music but it is a sign of the times unfortunately.

Via Philly.com

The Legendary Dobbs – which traces its South Street lineage to the mid-1970s when it was the hippest street in town – took to Facebook to announce its shutdown:

NFL Philadelphia Eagles Win 27-7 Vs New York Giants.

I rushed home from a killer spin class, then picked up a Domino’s pizza.  Returned home, placed ESPN on and watched the Birds win vs. Giants 27-7.  But the G Men made the first TD.   Then the Eagle’s defense got fired up especially DeMeco Ryans.  They are awesome. Our offense still needs work, can’t have all those interceptions Bradford.  I still believe in the long term you will not go deep into the playoffs without a solid O ( that includes the O line b/c the game is won at the line of scrimmage) but defense wins you Superbowl’s.

Fly Eagles Fly.

Pope Francis, Mass On Parkway, Philadelphia, PA.

Pope Francis stated,

Holiness is always tied to little gestures. These little gestures are those we learn at home, in the family; they get lost amid all the other things we do, yet they do make each day different. They are the quiet things done by mothers and grandmothers, by fathers and grandfathers, by children. They are little signs of tenderness, affection and compassion. Faith grows when it is lived and shaped by love. Our families — our homes — are true domestic churches. They are the right place for faith to become life and life to become faith.”

I ask you to pray for me,”Don’t forget!”

I will not Holy Father.

JFK Stadium, Philly Remembers.

Now, stands the Wells Fargo Center in it’s place as it was demolished in 1993.

It hosted Rock concerts, Pro football teams, everything that was special in Philly from 1926.

My last venue there was The Amnesty Concert, Sept. 19, 1988.

Pierre Robert of WMMR lists this as the #3, Top 5 Philly Stadium Concerts of All Time. I agree as there was  Sting, Tracy Chapman, Bruce Springsteen and Peter Gabriel rocking it together with collaborations among each other. So special.
