There nothing wrong with Copa. I agree with Jon and the
"West Philly residences" Its not worse than other bars in
UC Village

"West Philly residents" is a code-phrase for African-Americans, as
distinguished from the predominantly white residents of University City.
Maybe I am being stereotypical, but I always saw bowling as a Caucasian form
of entertainment.

There's a wonderful quote by a "Penn Student" which definitely sums up
much of the ignorance about the area. I didn't realize we were all
thugs and bums. I wonder if this is the same (Wharton) student that
kicked the female protester at the RNC....
"STUPIDEST IDEA EVER. This bowling venue is a terrible idea. Like Copa,
it will attract the worst crowd. The noise will keep residents of beige
block up late at night, and hurt property values in the area. What about
all the wonderful west philly residents that Strikes will attract?
Aren't we supposed to be keeping thugs and bums off of penn's campus?
Opening a BOWLING ALLEY, of all wonderful things, is not going to do it!
Maureen Rush, please shut this place down and keep your students safe!"
I'm up for a bowling team (although I'm not any good). I think us
"wonderful west philly residents" should make a strong showing at
Strikes and keep the "thugs and bums" that live ON Penn's campus out of
our hood.
It's a sad day in Mr. Roger's hood,
Stephen
