This week I’ve been a work slacker and a traveling bumpkin. It’s been great! And since we spent our first four days in Philadelphia, I’ve got to share some of the city’s brotherly love.
At first glance, Philly seems a bit, dare I say, course. But this is our second visit and I’m starting to see its softer side. Like Halloween, for example.
Philly seems pretty big on Halloween. Row house upon row house are decked out in orange lights, pumpkins and goblins. This fun decor, together with autumn wreaths on the doors and colorful mums on the stoops, gives these narrow-street neighborhoods a warm and cozy feel.
I found this welcoming goblin in front of a store. Isn’t it cool?
So Happy Halloween to all, Philadelphia-style!
