Pardon my ignorance, but I've lived here for years and have never been able to figure out what Dickens' connection to this area was. Did he visit the area, or is there some Dickens book I haven't read that talks about Spruce Hill? How did the neighborhood come to have this statue? -- Matthew Snyder Philadelphia, PA ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
