 Both of which are actually in Southwest Philadelphia, not West

And which is a perfect example of why "University City" as a designation
is far more than a marketing scheme. While you wait for the 34 trolley
inbound, you're in Southwest Philly; when you return to the neighborhood
later, you disembark in West Philly. Obviously, though, it's all
one neighborhood. Might as well have a name for it.


Actually, I've been worrying about this Southwest/West Philly business for
some time. What are the "actual" boundaries, and according to whom? You seem
to imply that SOBA is Southwest Philly -- if the 34 trolley line really does
bifurcate the two. Does that mean that Woodland Cemetery and Clark Park are
actually in SW? Seems counterintuitive, dude. Got maps?

Still, misplaced though they are, the stickers are cute. Just like the
anti-foie gras chanters in front of the Marigold. Something you'd never see
in any other part of either West Philly or Southwest Philly; so strictly, so
intimately, so homily University City.
