I arrived back in Philadelphia last weekend, a city I left thirty-five years ago. There was some change in the skyline but much remained the same - the cheese steaks, scrapple and Tastykake. My best friend from third grade is still there. I also met my wife in this town. So you CAN go home again. I began to think of Garrison Keillor's opening line to his radio show: "Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking and all the children are above average." As Keillor does, we all take pride in our home town. Oh, and the Philly fans are loud, loyal and demanding and they still play Kate Smith at the ice hockey games.
