Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
Or rather, “Sk8 Patrick’s Day,” as the title eludes. is what I call the photo walkabout that Melody Kramer (her photos) and I embarked on this past Saturday, March 14, 2009.
The day started out like any other… lazy Saturday, no plans. Everything was normal and dull until Melody reached out across the the Twitterverse for some companionship on a photowalk through the city of Philadelphia. I obliged and met her in Center City.
Started walking towards City Hall where we ran into St. Patrick himself
We took the shortcut through City Hall where we came upon the skaters (don’t call them Sk8ers).
We moved on from City Hall to the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul where Melody snapped these great photos inside. We left there after a brief walk through, I didn’t take any photos. We met the “tour guide” who confessed to us that he’d only been on the job for 2 hours. His name was Dan, look him up at the Cathedral and tell him Melody and Vince sent ya *wink*
We had lunch at TGIFridays on the Parkway and watched as many a drunk bar crawler stumbled by our window seat. Stepped out side and found the green scene:
These were taken on the Saturday BEFORE St. Patrick’s day.
Melody and I walked over to LOVE Park, world renown skateboard park in Philadelphia, PA:
Nom Nom Skater Bench
Some body wants the ring Or is this the toolbox of LOVE Park?
Attention sk8ters, we have a poser
Then, I said goodbye to Melody.
