I just got back from Ohio and have new stuff to post about, but I never put in my last post on Philly from a couple weeks back. I’d like to begin by showing you this:

You’d never know it, but this photo has no meat in it. This is an authentic Philly cheese steak done vegetarian. I loved it! Who said vegetarian food has to be organic, macrobiotic, health food? Gianna’s Grille on 6th Street, right off of South Street does a whole array of vegetarian hoagies and pizzas. Vegan friendly options abound as well. Here’s Michael in Gianna’s.

While on South Street I went to Garland of Letters, a new age bookstore that I can never pass up. I’ve been going there for years and I think it’s kind of an institution on South Street. I picked up the classic, The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer this time.

Across the street from Garland of Letters is a scene more typical of South Street, including the pick up truck with some youngsters from New Jersey cruising the strip:

Driving back to NJ I got some quick shots from the car too. An old Philly neighborhood.

The Ben Franklin bridge. This will always be my favorite bridge. It is so familiar but I always associate it with a certain level of adventure, as I used to drive in with gal pals from high school on Friday nights.
