Would love to see it as Vegas East

Thats a pretty funny response, but I think the OP was onto something.

I thought they stopped that in the 90s when Rendell dumped it into the Schuylkill? (93 or 96). Partially cause the salt from the trucks was toxic to the rivers ecosystem. There was video of the trucks doing it on youtube a while back.

FWIW Theres a place Tonys Tires at 9th & Oregon that sells & installs used tires. They generally have decent tread, usually the big places will have people come in and just purchase all 4 new tires, so 1 or 2 may be reusable. They'll then dispose of these to these type places or something.

You can get a great deal if ever your in a pinch.

yeah, awesome! To be specific :)

Its good. A bit (local) 'chain-ey' and pricey, but def doesn't dissapoint.

Isn't Pica's the best in Delco??

IMHO its the best in the area. Santuccis is good, both the chain and NE (Cottman & Frankford). Lorenzos on Christian

If you're looking at a suburb look at Conshohocken or Glenside.

That or one of the kids dimed him out as to who they bought it from.

Yeah, they were just $40 cheapo stuff and they'd sell them for $80 but claim they were $200 speakers. Things like that. It wasn't only a Philly thing, and it wasn't a 2000-05 thing. Odds are only single, younger males would want to buy speakers, so they targeted them, not women or families.

It wasn't a cult, but I'm sure those guys weren't the best, probably hustlers out looking for side money. Drawn into it from friends, friends older brothers, or older brothers friends.

Funny, my brother in the early 90s worked his first job outta school and his boss came in one day and said "Oh wow, guess what?! I got the best set of speakers over the weekend. I was at the mall, and these guys had an extra set they were getting rid of, their boss made a mistake and gave them one pair too many..." He said they held up over time, no complaints, probably just something from K-mart. Not the Bose or whatever they claimed to be, but his boss swore they were great. Placebo effect probably.

or the sales tax from all the food/alchohol sold in the city

Kudos Philly & PPD!!

You telling me?? I used to go there as a 17 year old to drink beer & smoke weed with friends back in '89.

Memories come back when hearing Kid Rocks 'All Summer Long'.

Party it up watching the Philies.

Walk the Wissahickon trail/Forbidden Drive.

Do a night or two in AC. Hard Rock is dope!

The 17 yr old target probably got wind of who it was, and a 'stop snitching' plan was implemented.

along with a DA who tosses cases out & refuses to bring to trial.
