You from Uptown fam!?? Im from West Oak Lane. You know about the old Cheltenham arcade!!!:steviej: That sh*t used to pop back in the day man. And the movie theather used to do numbers as well. For anybody looking for a good place to eat Puerto Rican food check out Freddies and Tony's restaurant on 2nd and Allegheny BEST puerto Rican food in the city. Whenever my mom wouldnt cook it for us we ate there. It's in the hood in puertoricanland but dont be afraid to go in there.. they know english :troll:

Yeah born and raised in oak lane....right around ogontz...about half a mile from central hs and LAsalle U.

That arcade was serious back then...shyt was like a club. A youngin like me use to be there back in the day given out L's in mortal kombat, nba jam, and throwing 50 cent in that afterburner game for 20 minutes :lawd: ...then a few of us would catch a movie like boys in the hood or juice for like 3.50 :lawd:...those days are long gone:snoop:.

I was a young buck, but I remember catchin that movie "House Party" around 1990 with older cousins back then on a Saturday for "free"

I miss Philly :to: Lived there for a decade from age 17 to 28.

I'm coming back next weekend tho. :youngsabo: All hotels booked up for the marathon :aicmon:

Last couple years I've been coming back for the Relays and to see folks. Probably wont do it this year. Gotta figure out another time to come thru.

I'd kill a man for a roast pork with sharp provolone and some long hots :ohlawd:

My pops grew up in Philly and my grandparents lived there until recently because they couldn't take care of their house no more. When their house sold I was :to:

Back in the day when there would be a guy on every street corner selling pretzels out of he trunk of his car :ohlawd:
