Sk8 Patrick’s Day

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.

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:
